| 2010 CCWA Champion Lexington Brewers (L-R) Kyle Godinho, Jim Hewey, Matt Bailey, Parker Williamson, Phil Shero |
In news that stunned everybody in the league Jim Hewey announced that 2012 will be his last season of wiffleball and that the Lexington Brewers would no longer be fielding a team in the CCWA. Hewey has been around since day one and was instrumental in helping shape the league and also helping it grow. He has played in more CCWA games than anybody else at this point. He has won more Gold Gloves than any CCWA player, won a MVP award and was the team captain for a Championship team.
The Brewers have been a fan favorite for many years and their loss will leave a huge void in the Northern League. The Brew Crew was one of only two teams remaining from the inaugral season with the other being the Jackmove Giants. The Brewers won the CCWA Championship in 2010 when they defeated the Southeast Athletics.
Jim hasn't entirely ruled out a return to the league in the future. "I will definitely be around still and try to check out as much as possble. I just dont have the time anymore with coaching my son with his stuff and my daughter starting to get involved in sports as well, so I dont want to be that guy that people have to schedule around." Jim said, adding "I am sure there would be some times I would like to get some wiffles in, just hard to commit for a full season."
Thanks for all of the good times Brewers, you guys will be missed.
