Name: Noah Cierzan
Number: 9
School: Anthony
Primary positions: P, 3B
Noah has a reputation as a "smart player", which makes him a very alert base runner, and also the player on the team least likely to stick his tongue to a frozen metal pole. He had several huge hits and key pitching outings, but undoubtedly his biggest contribution was bringing the "energy bucket", which is filled with sugary junk food that gets the team hyped up early in the game.
2012 season high point: In a tight game vs. Farmington, picked off 2 runners in the same inning, causing the Farmington coach to drop to his knees, cover his face with his hat, and swear up a storm.
2012 season low point: Picked off in the 6th inning of a close game vs. Red Wing. The call was terrible but the meltdown was worse. During the tantrum, Noah threw a base, ripped out the shortstop's windpipe, and bit the head off a pigeon. Basically, it was behavior typical of a MYBA Board of Directors' meeting.
Weird habit worth mentioning: When Noah gets a 3-ball count and takes a pitch, before the ump's call, he will throw his bat and run to first, and then act stunned if the ump calls a strike. He's going to be either a really good salesman or a really bad actor.
Most likely to get kicked out of Cooperstown Dreams Park for: Trespassing. This one takes some explaining. The team's pre-game runs sometimes accidentally become obstacle courses, requiring the kids to navigate fences, gates, back yards, and in some cases, creeks. Some players have had trouble with the fences, Noah in particular. So, when the team sneaks out of the barracks after curfew, climbs a fence into the forbidden zone of CDP, triggers an alarm and runs back to the barracks, 11 players will make it back safely, and the CDP cops will find Noah caught by his shirt on the fence like Peter Rabbit.
