SOLUTION:

#1 – Cal
#2 – Ike
#3 – Fox
#4 – Abe
#5 – Gus
#6 – Eli
#7 – Hal
#8 – Don
#9 – Bob

So you know, the team disbanded after only one game. Cal, the pitcher, strained his groin on the first pitch of the season. Because he wore an extra-small jersey, they couldn’t find a replacement player fit into the jersey, and the team was forced to forfeit the rest of their games because they didn’t have the required nine players. Bitterness and disappointment was the result.

The Moral: Sometimes, it’s good to be an XL.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I changed a word in the final clue (from “nine” to “odd”) to ensure that everyone came up with the same solution. As a result, many of the early COMMENTS below will not apply. Thanks to everyone for watching out for those correct answers; I appreciate your bearing with me as I learn more about doing these logic puzzles you love so much.  :)
