Take a look at the crazy but loveable cast of characters.  If you play senior ball or are married to a ballplayer - you'll definitely recognize a few of these folks.

BRANDI PATTIN-STRATTEN:  Monty's 20-something, ditsy 4th wife whose immaturity, Valley-girl style, and lack of people skills make her a
fish out of water in her relationships with the other wives.

GRAMPS: (65-70) The oldest player on the team.  Kind-hearted but absent-minded.

EVELYN: (65-70) Gramps' marginally less goofy wife.  Her eccentricities include an overly sunny disposition, stunningly gaudy outfits, and a tote bag containing every possible contrivance known to man or kitchen.

GINGER: (45-50) Junior's wife.  A level-headed career woman possessing a slight skewed view of life.
