He's back! Bruce Ngo


Ladies and gentleman, in a surprising move that happened just days before our season started Bruce Ngo shouted those 2 magical words and the world was set a buzz. Bruce was asked about his status this year and he replied “I’m back”. These words have not been spoken  since the return of Michael Jordan and since Bruce said them the web has been buzzing. He was even a trending topic on twitter. This man has shaken the softball world once again.
Bruce took a hiatus from the sport to pursue his true passion. That passion was the sport of curling. He started in the minor leagues and quickly made his way to the top of the curling ranks. He and his team made it to the championship but it was one they did not capture. In a crucial 10th set Bruce made a mental error and broke his broom over the curling stone. He cost his team a championship and was heavily beaten up by the press. He chose to retire and mull his future over. After going into hiding for a few months he realized his passion was pitching for RPA softball. His spark was ignited again and he chose to say those two magical words and a comeback happened.
Bruce was not only our pitcher but a great play maker. He would always cover our over throws (mostly coaches) and slide into home plate head first applying tags to anyone who tried to score a run. His bat was a definite asset even though he was the only hitter who hit opposite field in every at bat he had during the season. As soon as he announced his comeback a new deal was struck with RPA and we inked him to once again take the bump and lead the team. Bruce is also a former MVP with the team and he looks to shake the rust from his hiatus this week when RPA plays its first game.
