5/24/03 - Opening day for the 2003 Veto League Baseball season. Veto League Baseball celebrates its fifth anniversary.

Steve Roberts records the first VLB homerun of the season and it comes inside-the-park.
5/31/03 - Lance McCafferty shocks everyone as for the first time the extreme shift to left field doesn’t work. McCafferty took one through the right side of the infield for a base hit. McCafferty said, “It was an accident.”
Noah Roberts with a cameo appearance lifts Heckencamp to victory with 2 clutch solo homers. Roberts went back-to-back with Nick Benson in the ninth for the tying and go-ahead runs.
6/1/03 - Jacob VandeMoortel as switch hitter? Can he really bat lefty? No, he struck out.
Mike Myers and Mitch Heckenkamp hit back-to-Back homeruns helping to lift Veto to victory over Engstrom. Myers added another homer, a single, a double, and a triple en route to the first Veto League Baseball cycle on record.
6/7/03 - Kiel Engstrom falls one homer short of tying the VLB record for homeruns in a game held by Josh Lawhorn with 6. Engstrom had 4 by the 4th inning, but could only muster one more on an 8 for 13 day. He had 12 RBI.
McCafferty also provided the VLB with the quote of the year. “Sometimes I just don’t feel like trying.”
Engstrom’s team combines for 11 homeruns in a nine inning game.
6/11/03 - Scott Ellefritz gets Veto League Baseball on the Web! Geocities.com/vetoleague/baseball gives you up to date stats, rosters, schedules, and much more!

Brett Carlson pledges a $2 donation to the VLB, “Homers for Balls”fund, for every homerun he hits this season.
Heckenkamp mounts a comeback after down 11-2 in the second. Heckenkamp got a 6 run 6th inning lifting his team to an 18-17 win over Veto.
Biggest Veto League Baseball argument to date. In the bottom of the 8th inning, Heckenkamp 15-14 and had a runner on third base with one out. McCafferty stood at the plate and grounded a ball to Ellefritz at third. Ellefritz throws to the pitcher, Nick Benson, holding the runner at third. Benson holds onto the ball and McCafferty reaches first. Veto’s team makes the argument that if Benson throws the ball to first, it would be an out, and the runner stays at third. Since Benson was not fielding for Veto’s team, it was controversial that a throw was not made. McCafferty was called out at first, and the runner stayed at third and the inning continued.
With a two-run lead going into the top of the 9th, Heckenkamp’s team would face a similar situation. With two outs in the inning and runners at second and third, Ellefritz hits a ground ball to McCafferty at third. McCafferty throws over the head of Kiel Engstrom and the ball bounds away. McCafferty said his throw was good, and Ellefritz should be out at first “because you did the same thing to us. You guys are hypocrites.” Engstrom argued the throw was wild, and there were two outs. He said, “who throws to the pitcher with two outs?” The play was ruled dead and there was a do-over. Ellefritz singled in two runs to tie the game going into the bottom of the ninth. Heckenkamp scored in that inning and got the win anyway.
6/15/03 - In light of the argument on Saturday, the VLB instates the “point of no return” rule when rounding third. There is now an assumed risk when rounding third base. Players make the decision to pass the point of no return and risk being thrown out at the plate. If they are in between the point of no return and the scoring plate, and the pitcher receives a decent throw from the field, the runner is out. If he is in front of the point of no return and the pitcher receives a throw, he goes back to third, and the pitcher can throw where he pleases. If the runner reaches the scoring plate, and a throw comes in to the pitcher, the runner scores.
For the first time, VLB celebrates Father’s Day by inviting the players' fathers to play. Gary VandeMoortel, and Steve Holtmann make their VLB debuts. Gary would like to forget part of his after being thrown out at first from left field by Steve Roberts. As Gary tumbled, 13-year-old children watching from the fence proceeded to heckle. It was the first outside heckling at a VLB game, though, plenty of heckling comes from the inside to Brett Carlson.
6/21/03 - Lance McCafferty sleeps until 1:30 and shows up late to the game. When called and asked if he was playing baseball today he said, “yeah.” He was fined 1 donut.
Ashley Engstrom overtakes his brother Kiel in the homerun leader column smacking 5 over the fence at the Blackhawks diamond. For the second time this season, an Engstrom falls one short from tying Josh Lawhorn’s record of 6 in a game. One of the homeruns was helped over after tipping off of Matt Veto’s glove in center. Brett Carlson taunted by saying “Put that in the highlights! How many runs will that lead to?!” There you go Brett.
Veto’s team defeats Heckenkamp’s team with a 12 run rally in the 8th inning, with help from 5 Jacob VandeMoortel errors, handing Heckenkamp his first loss of the season.
Bobby Carter becomes the second VLB member of the season to hit for the cycle.
Colby Moore legs out a triple, placing him in the ranks with the other “Eighth Wonders of the World” who have tripled, VandeMoortel, and Scott Ellefritz.
6/22/03 – Lawhorn’s other elusive record of 6 strikeouts in one game was given a run for its money when a slumping Josh Bender K’s 5 times. It was only the second “Silver Challis” ever awarded. Karl Oppenheimer displays the other.
Another Veto 8th inning rally scores 11 runs. A Steve Roberts grand slam helped lift Veto to victory. Brett Carlson playing deep centerfield, while leaning on the outfield fence also helped.
6/28/03 - Josh Lawhorn and Jeff Kilgard make triumphant returns to the VLB with Lawhorn’s performance slightly more triumphant. Lawhorn struck out his first time at the plate, but later smack two homeruns, one a grand slam, over the left field wall. He went 6 for 10 on the day with 7 RBI.
While playing with right field out, first baseman Josh Lawhorn runs for a pop fly over second base in hopes to end the inning. The ball bounced off of his glove in the run and bounded away. Steve Roberts took first base and said even though the pop fly was toward right field it was offered at and all players should be safe. It led to a two-out 8-run rally in the seventh and an eventual McCafferty victory over Veto.
6/29/03 - Jeff Kilgard leaves his family reunion proving that Veto League Baseball places high on members’ priority lists.
Kilgard’s family reunion would then come to the VLB when his dad and sister show up to the game to heckle two batters, get a set of keys and leave.
In a game that stood 5-5 after 6 full innings, Kiel Engstrom would pull to within one homerun of his brother for the league lead in the seventh knocking over a grand slam. Engstrom, tied for second in homers with Lance McCafferty at 8, would also wind up in a tie for first place with Heckenkamp.
Jake VandeMoortel came one stat shy of hitting for the cycle. Surprisingly the missing stat was not a triple but a homerun.
