Where are they Now? Jan Booy

When most people think about "The British Invasion", they think about The Beatles.  When co ed softball fans hear those words, they think of Jan Booy.

Booy started roaming the outfield for the Buttermilk Five as a spry 25 year old in 2002.  His unconventional swing and ability to smoke a pack of cigarettes during a full game gave the BM5 a swagger that most perennial basement dwellers only dream of.

Booy also managed to get lost on the way to nearly every game.  Without any remote sense of direction while navigating the greater Boston backroads, Jan still knew where the batters box was and that you had to run to 1st base after that.  

Jan is semi-retired now.  Currently, he spends his days patrolling the internet and programming websites for people who give him money.
