April 27: In the ANNUAL FACULTY/STUDENT SOFTBALL GAME, the student team, inspired by graduating captain Misaki Kiguchi ’08 and co-captain Saif Rathore ’09, redeemed themselves after losing two of the previous three games to the heroic team led by Dean Robert J. Alpern, M.D., known far and wide as “Bob’s Bulldogs.” (Alpern donates chances to join the game to bidders at the medical students’ annual Hunger and Homelessness Auction in support of local charities.) Solid fielding, strong hitting, and clever base running characterized the play of the students—a startling change from previous years—while Alpern’s usually flawless team made a number of surprising errors in the field, contributing to a final, rather lopsided score that nobody seems to remember. Front row, from left: Elizabeth H. Bradley, Ph.D., M.B.A., professor of public health; Patrick Maloney ’10; Peter M. Glazer, M.D., Ph.D., the Robert E. Hunter Professor of Therapeutic Radiology; Alpern; Adam Kaye ’09; Richard A. Silverman, director of admissions; Rathore; Matthew McRae ’09; and Susan A. Sansone, registrar, M.D./Ph.D. Program.
