Trey “The Bookie” Sumner
Player 2001/2003-2007, Committee 2003 / 2006, Fat Bastard Iraq Champ 2004, Baxter Bowl Champ 2006, Drunk Guy 2003.
A fixture among the overly-optimistic, Trey always manages to win more than he oughtta each year while playing with a variety of teammates. From his stunning shutout win over a powerhouse offensive squad from Bay City in 2001 to his run at the title in 2007 with fellow Inductee, The Moop, his brand of smack-talk and game savvy has become legendary. He also administered and won the first, and hopefully only, Fat Bastard Iraq in 2004 along with a Baxter Bowl crown in 2006. He’s also been the guy responsible for a “lost” Hummer, Humvee’s nickname, Jansma, a few missing standard-issue military tents, and probably more than a few Gambler’s Anonymous memberships as he’s always looking for a way to make things “more interesting.” He’s also be a stalwart during set up and tear downs at Harvard Yards when not called away on government-sponsored tourism.
He’s been long known as The Bookie, “Eric’s Brother” from Friday’s, the original flair bartender and a veteran. Now we’re proud to also call him a Hall of Famer.
Lonnie “Snoop Drunky Drunk” Rucker
Player 2004-2007, Champion 2004 / 2007, Most Valuable Player 2004, Golden Arm 2004.
Hurricane Lonnie ran the table in his 2004 debut, sweeping the Most Valuable Player and Golden Arm awards, while claiming the championship with a dominating pitching performance and the game-winning tater in the title game. Since then, he’s had some trouble keeping his beverage full and avoiding pretty distractions – particularly during Ice Cream Socials – but he’s still one of Windy City’s finest. He remains one of the game’s premier arms and feared sticks, although lately has also been known to take a few mid-day naps, ensuring proper rest for his next game matchup.
He arrived at Harvard Yards known as The Professor for his poker-playing prowess, and became Snoop Drunky Drunk for his Friday performances. By now, we’re happy to adorn him with a new title, a Hall of Fame Inductee.
Steve “Cougar” Peavler
Player 2003-2007, Ice Cream Social Superstar 2003-2007, Won a Game 2003 / 2006-2007.
There’s no surer sign that the Fatty has begun than when the Wisconsin duo rolls into town on Friday evening via Chicago to help kick off the Ice Cream Social. Peavler and his Milwaukee partner, Hilgers, specialize in love letters to the Front Office, cryptic alias hotel names, and long, slow, wet kisses that last all night. He’s joined our mission in supporting several similar charitable causes and he’s also been known to bring along a housewarming gift for the hostess, always a good idea. On the other hand, he’s also been known to wiffle sans pants, so all his ideas are not necessarily good.
As he’s employed by an institution of higher learning – our application must’ve been lost in the mail – he’s been known to most as Mr. Peavler, even though we’ve called him mainly Cougar. Today, we’re pleased to add a new moniker as we welcome him to the Hall of Fame.
