be exact.• They were so good it was a challenge to find a worthy
opponent for them.• At one game they were winning 151-13, the opposing
team’s fans started leaving, so the Trotter’s coach told them to start playing around like at practice, the fans returned and even though it was a total blowout, the fans got their money’s worth, and that’s why the Trotters are so fun to watch.
