On Sunday, May 26, 2002, Veto League Baseball played the wildest game in VLB history. Captains Lance McCafferty and Matt Veto, chose up a team of nine players each making it the largest attended Veto League game in history. History would be made several times over.
By the third inning Veto found his troops down 23-1, and began to consider the termination of the game to rework the lineups more fairly. However, with persistence from his players, the game continued.
Later in the game, Nathan Kramer, who was making his VLB debut, knocked a two run homer to bring the score to 23-3. It was a small victory for the man who was chosen last by his team.
He would do it again later in the game and so would second to last pick, Noah Roberts, as he socked a two run bomb out of the yard.
Dropped flies and other fielding miscues would add to the already inflated score. McCafferty’s Mike Myers hit two homeruns in a game that seemed to last an eternity.
However, the charging crew of Veto’s team fought back to within eight runs by the seventh inning and two runs in the eighth.
In the ninth, a dropped fly ball in the outfield led two a two-run error for McCafferty’s team as they took a four run lead. Veto’s team, with last year’s historical 17 run comeback for a win, could only muster two runs in the ninth as Veto popped out to end the wild game. McCafferty evened the 2002 series at one apiece with the 32-30 victory.
