As well as treasurer responsibilities, Janice Sadowski ran the merchandise booth, got stat sheets ready and sold yearbooks. Todd remembers his mother yelling from the booth for everyone to hear.
“I could hear her from the dugout yelling at the players or the umpires, and how the people in the dugout would get a kick out of that, especially when she was going after the umps,” Todd said. “Occasionally, the umps would have to stop the game and give her a little talking to. She was a very passionate lady when it came to Cotuit and there was nothing she was more passionate about outside of her family.”
Both Rich and Todd remember the 1995 team fondly, with the players having a great bond with everyone.
“This group of people were fan-friendly and teammate-friendly,” Rich said. “These kids hung around one another. They would go to other players' houses and play games. [There’s an] old saying of 25 ballplayers, 25 different caps. In this case, it was one cap for 25 different ballplayers. Mike Coutts had a lot to do with that. He brought them together as a team as well.”
“What I remember about the '95 team is the absolute cast of characters that we had on that squad,” Todd said. “We had guys from all across the country that came together and were absolutely hysterical. They all got along, which also goes to show you why there are so many of them coming back for the reunion. These guys were so funny and so smart, baseball smart and school smart.”
Todd also remembered a lot about the team's performance during the season.
“I remember Glenn Davis was a monster,” Todd said. “I remember Ronnie Walker, who played third base. He took a one-hopper off the chest and just grunted and threw it to first.”
“I remember Kevin Sheredy’s fastball. Each of the guys asked me to go to the scouts behind home plate and ask him what he was throwing on the speed gun. It was always 92-93 [mph]. In 1995, for a 20-year-old to be throwing 92-93 was unspeakable. It was unheard of. To put it in context, Randy Johnson during that time period in the pros wasn’t throwing much faster than that on his fastball,” Todd said.
“I remember Jack Cressend’s changeup, he had seven wins that season. He had a circle changeup that looked to the batter no different than it was to his fastball. He made guys look absolutely silly up there at the plate,” Todd said. “Josh Paul was an absolute animal on that '95 team. He had a favorite space that he would hit an absolute rocket to right-center and he would invariably always get to third.”
Todd also remembers when Coutts made him help warm up Cressend.
“It was arguably one of the scariest moments of my life, honest to god, I remember it to this day,” Todd said. “He’s throwing 70 miles an hour, he's literally warming his arm up, and I’m scared out of my mind that this thing is going to hit me in the chest. I didn’t have any helmet protection, I had no chest pad, nothing. Then he started screwing with me and throwing a knuckleball at me. I remember telling coach Coutts that recently and he said, ‘Well I knew you could handle it.’ Well, I certainly didn’t know I could handle it.”
When the team won the championship at Lowell Park, Rich and Janice Sadowski were watching from behind the chain-link fence. According to Rich, this was the first championship team they had been a part of.
“My wife and I stood at the fence and watched them jump on top of one another,” Rich said. “There were tears in our eyes. We were so happy for them because they did something that not too many people do — be part of a championship team.”
Todd loved his time in Cotuit, saying Lowell Park was one of the most romantic places to spend an evening.
“When people ask me about the Cape Cod Baseball League now and where they should go, I always say Lowell Park,” Todd said. “You have to get there early to get a good seat, the baseball will be amazing, and there’s a good chance that if the game is good, they might have to postpone it because there’s no more daylight. Baseball like that doesn’t exist anymore. It was absolutely perfect.”
