AFP Blue Barracuda Grant Hill has been elected to the 2008 Men’s Open Rec League All Star Game! The announcement came as a surprise since Hill only played in half of the Barracudas games. No other Barracudas made the All Star team.
“I’m thrilled, obviously,” Hill said. “I’ve been singing ‘All Star’ by Smash Mouth all day. I don’t really know the words so I’ve been butchering it pretty badly. But it’s Smash Mouth, so who’s going to notice?”
An anonymous league source indicated that a misprint on the All Star voting ballot may have led to Hill’s selection. “The original ballot listed him as ‘Grant Hill- the white one.’ But ‘the white one’ was left off the ballot that went out. I think people thought they were voting for the other Grant Hill- y’know, the black one.”
“That’s ridiculous,” team manager Sam Holland said. “And racists. Why you want to keep whitey down?”
While most of Hill’s teammates were happy for him, one, who spoke only with the promise of anonymity said “Are you freaking kidding me?”
No word if Hill will participate in the TracPhone Free Throw Shootout or the Hill Country Fair Lemon Lime Layup Contest.
