    • TEAM KENNY: Josh Brant: Brant was thrilled with his selection, saying “It is a great honor being selected for the All-Star Faculty kickball game. I believe my years of experience as a soccer goalkeeper will serve me well and I am confident we will dominate whatever team stands in our way.”

    • TEAM KENNY: Lars Jorgensen: Representing the University of Vermont and the Hopkins class of 1982, Mr. J. is a tremendous power hitter - his kickball skills are matched only by his ability to control the Class of 2019.

    • TEAM KENNY: Kai Bynum: After perfecting his kickball craft at four different universities, Bynum became a great batter and will play with the same certainty with which he leads Hopkins.

    • TEAM KENNY: Rocco DeMaio: As a member of the Class of ’86, DeMaio said, “It is an honor to be selected.” DeMaio is hoping to pilot his “stacked” team to a victory - and maybe crush a few home runs in the process.

    • TEAM KENNY: Steve Clark (A.K.A. Sparky): Sparky is confident in his squad’s abilities and was grateful for the selection, saying, “I am honored, because [Kenny] is a master of every game of skill or chance and a very wise man. With him at the helm, and our star-packed lineup, I have no doubt that we [will] emerge victorious.”

    • TEAM KENNY: Joseph Addison: Addison was “humbled” that Kenny, “the wisest person on the Hopkins campus,” picked him for the game. “To play for Team Kenny is to play for a legend,” said Addison.

    • TEAM KENNY: Peg Connolly: Connolly was ecstatic upon hearing of her selection, “I can tell you this is a huge honor...Kenny and Pete are great fixtures in our Athletic Department….I will do my best to play well and live up to this impressive group of teammates...and of course have fun!

    • TEAM KENNY: Christina Balsamo: This athletic trainer has plenty to bring to the table: she’s ready to keep her team healthy, strong, and winning!

    • TEAM KENNY: Sarah Duckett Ireland: This Yale alumna hopes to play well, saying, “I am honored and delighted to have been chosen. I hope I don’t let the team down!”

    • TEAM PETE: Wendy Parente: This Hopkins alum is a formidable opponent who leads the league in wit and enthusiasm. She’s prepared to bring out all the stops to beat Team Kenny.

    • TEAM PETE: Liz Climie: We are being treated to a fantastic pitching match up, as Climie will try to destroy Team Kenny with her vicious kickball skill.

    • TEAM PETE: Adam Sperling: One of the best power hitters in kickball history, Sperling was at a loss for words when he was informed of his selection, “I am thrilled and honored to have been selected! I do not know what else to say other than that this team is very strong and I hope that there is a way for us to put our talents on display!”

    • TEAM PETE: Ben Taylor: Taylor had this to say when he was told of his place on the squad, “Look, I’m a physicist - what chance does anyone have of handling my trajectory? It’s AWN."

    • TEAM PETE: Richard Thornburgh: Thornburgh hopes to carry his talent from thirds soccer into the kickball diamond. “I am extremely humbled to be endorsed by members of The Cage, and will bring my very serious athleticism to this very serious event. I expect my teammates to perform their jobs with the highest level of focus and with a competitive mindset, and will look forward to seeing everyone in the winners circle.”

    • TEAM PETE: Eric Mueller: Representing Kenyon College and Washington University, Mueller is prepared to bring his determination and talent to the diamond.

    • TEAM PETE: Elliott Faust: Faust is extremely enthusiastic about the game, saying, “I’m just excited to be part of the team. We’ve put together a stacked lineup from top to bottom, so I’m looking forward to coming in, doing my job, and contributing from the jump. This lineup has a chance to be special, and I’m just trying to do my part to help us win!”

    • TEAM PETE: Tim Phipps: Phipps held nothing back when he received the news of his selection, saying, “I feel bad for the team we’re playing.”

    • TEAM PETE: Stephanie McDonald: She’ll be playing against her associates from the Athletic Department on Team Kenny, but she’s never afraid of a challenge. She’s ready to give them heck and show them Team Pete is a force to be reckoned with.
