Big Al
Big Al (born Small Al) (20 March 1967; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is the left fielder for the Midgetball softball team in the Chicago city league.
Early life[edit | edit source]

Softball Career[edit | edit source]

In fact surely he even spurred the team on to win the pornorama, but this isnt Mike Surely's Story, Its Big Gay Al's.
He'd like to hit 10 or 15 homos this year, whichever comes first.
Personal Principles[edit | edit source]
Big Al understands that in theory, practice and theory are the same, but in practice they're not. This principle guides him in the batter's box. And he understands the importance of work ethic -- he's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning regardless of what time it is.
