In the twilight of his career, 39-year-old Ferdinand *Puttifoot of Bywater recaptured some of the old magic last week and came away with the Shire Conference Player of the Week Award.
“I’ve been playing since I was a kid,” *Puttifoot told reporters, “but you’re never too old to feel the thrill of success.”
*Puttifoot outpaced the rest of the league’s hitters last week, reeling off 13 hits in 24 at-bats, 4 home runs, and 7 RBIs to stake his claim to the award.
This year, *Puttifoot is hitting .343 with 12 home runs.
