Justin Brehmer joined BIT 8 months ago as a Software
Engineer I. Justin grew up playing baseball, but until recently the last time
he actually played was when he was 12 or 13 years old in Little League.
So what led him to striking up a new amateur league in
Pierre? Justin explained, “I figured baseball would be a good way for me to
meet people since I am new to town. When I found out the old amateur baseball
team (formerly known as the Pierre Rattlers and even longer ago the Pierre
Cowboys) were no longer having a team, I figured that I might as well start a
new one.” The decision to name the new team the “Pierre Royals” stemmed from
the fact that their new jerseys are royal blue, so the name seemed rather
fitting :)
The decision wasn’t as easy as it sounds! Justin went on to
say “Since we are a new team with players that haven’t played in years, we have
been struggling this year but we are improving every game - so getting some
more fans in the stands could only help us out more!”
Justin is excited to be able to play again. He elaborated,
“I have always loved playing baseball and didn’t have the opportunity when I
was younger, but I do now and I really enjoy getting out there and having fun.”
