SOUTH BERWICK, Maine -- Darryl "The D-Man" Cauchon will be reunited with his softball sidekick, Chris Sciaky, after agreeing to play for the expansion Beacons in 2008.
Cauchon, who Beacons Coach Bob Cook nicknamed, "X-treme Cauchon" because of his intensity, will give the Beacons a solid left-handed bat and a skilled glove in right field.
Cauchon said he is eager to bring some "personality" to his new team and give the fans plenty to cheer about on opening day.
"I told Coach that I would be more than happy to play as long as this team was going to be about fun first," Cauchon said.
Cauchon, a former member of the Isotopes in the Works Co-Ed League, is also a first-class long distance runner who has run the Boston Marathon and Red Hook's 5K.
After hearing about Cauchon's signing, Beacons fans immediately asked, "What about Jon Blain?"
Blain was a standout, all-star shortstop for the Isotopes in 2005 and is considered one of the most talented fielders and power hitters in softball.
Cook said he engaged in on-going talks with Blain's agent to see if the Beacons can persuade Blain to come out of retirement.
Cauchon said he would put a bug or two in his friend's ear to come onboard.
"Jonny and I are tight and where I go, he goes."
Let's hope the D-Man is right.
