This year we were looking for an activity outside of the restaurant to initiate more team building and encourage everyone towards a sense of fellowship. We discussed joining an organized sport through the city of Raleigh with trepidation since six years ago we made an attempt at athletic team building with dodgeball, an activity we determined to be too demanding and strenuous (our 0-10 record spoke volumes). In came the grand idea of softball, a nice, leisurely sport, and interest was high amongst the staff. Soon 518’s official softball team, The Crab, was born.
We looked forward to a great season with the city of Raleigh's softball program. We began on a high note, winning our first game 8-5. Unfortunately The Crab did not experience much more success until two months and ten games later when we finally won again...via forfeit (they did not have enough players).
Many of our games were close, some were not, but through it all, we played our best and worked hard for each other. A tough season yes, but one that brought us all closer together as friends and generated a camaraderie I will not soon forget.
