1990. Joe is pitching against 'What the Heck' at P.S. 18. They were a very tough team to beat so Joey kept switching the new ball with ones that were duds. WTH complained to the ump, so the ump threw Joe a brand new ball to pitch with. Joe immediately threw it on the roof and pulled a dud from under his arm. The ump totally missed it ! The whole other sideline was screaming and yelling about what Joe just did. So this time, the ump walked to Joey on the mound and handed him another new ball. When the ump turned his back to walk back to the plate, Joey launched it on the roof, pulling another dud out. This was classic Joe. The next time we played against 'What The Heck', they brought a ladder with them.
