Jan. 8, 2013 southpaw	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking to play on a 50+ aa or aaa team that borders Alabama Someone should give this good man a chance; solid player and dependable. Good luck, Randy.
Jan. 8, 2013 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: March 2/Birmingham tourney/Just a refresher I have 9.
Jan. 7, 2013 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: March 2/Birmingham tourney/Just a refresher Saturday, March 2, in Birmingham, Alabama. One day tourney at George Ward Park. The address is: 331 16th Ave. S. Birmingham, Alabama. 3 game guarantee, 5 HR's, then singles, 1/1 count with extra foul, entry fee is $225 and includes umpires and 6 softballs. Must use park ball--U-trip, 44 cor. 375 comp. I have 8 teams at present; INFO: Steve 205-647-2881
Jan. 4, 2013 southpaw	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Alternative to 1 - 1 rule. Very thoughtful question Webbie. Would that only hold true if the pitcher is struggling? If the pitcher is on his game and hitting the corners, throwing mostly strikes, my thought is that batters would come to the plate more aggressive. For me, a walk on 3 would certainly encourage me to work on my capabilities as a pitcher and it would also serve to weed out those who are less proficient. My desire is really 1/1 and other aspects of our game such as pinch runners delays being adjusted so that games will get maximum innings played. As an aside, Most of the teams in the South probably think my pitching is just "Meat" anyhow--good for batting practice!!

Jan. 3, 2013 southpaw	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Alternative to 1 - 1 rule. I personally like 1/1, but 3/3 sounds great as well. I do like the mat for umpire purposes, but as a pitcher who throws a lot of curves that break across the strike zone and then miss hitting the mat by a quarter of an inch is maddening. Like most on the website, I love to play softball, so I will play no mater what the rules are going to be.
Dec. 29, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Warm-Up Tourney in Birmingham, Alabama Hey Joe, you are right, I had already been contacted, by Wayne actually, and FMSI is marked down to play. Just got carried away, wishing that all those teams would attend! Happy New Year.
Dec. 28, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Warm-Up Tourney in Birmingham, Alabama I may be able to secure more fields, so I may be able to take more than 15 teams. I researched teams who are in reasonable driving distance to Birmingham and wanted to give you a special invitation! So if you are: Monarchs, C&M Sports, D T Express, Heroes, J R Smith, Longshots, Swarm, Ram, Columbus 55's and LX, FMSI, Crystal Pharmacy, TAG, Custom Graphics or IDC, ya'll come on down, ya here! Just let me know if you do have an interest. Thanks
Dec. 28, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Curious about Bat Bags not really on this subject, but as I typed, asking contents of a well-stocked bat bag, I remembered a young team I had from some years ago. The same right fielder I write about under softball's funniest stories walked into my dugout one night and accidentally dropped his bat bag. The first thing that fell out was his 357. magnum!
Dec. 28, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Curious about Bat Bags Thanks to everyone for your responses. Since our grandchildren got all my excess funds for Christmas, it will probably be early Spring before I can purchase! Jerry, I will talk to you in Montgomery.
Dec. 28, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Curious about Bat Bags Which one does everyone recommend? Also, what does a well-stocked bag carry?
Dec. 28, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Funniest Softball Stories Years ago, in a little un-sanctioned league, my team was playing one August night. It was 95+ degrees and the grass was very dry. My right fielder was smoking in the OF. A fly ball was hit his way; he took one last draw and threw his cigarette down. He caught the ball and threw it back in as everyone else on defense starting yelling and running toward him. He was standing in a circle of fire! We all stamped the flames out, then proceeded with the game.
Dec. 24, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Warm-Up Tourney in Birmingham, Alabama Several teams have called over the last week; the tourney is almost half filled. Let me know if you are interested real soon. Thanks
Dec. 15, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A Moment of Silence There are answers to questions that we will never be able to receive until we reach the other side. I highly recommend the little book--HEAVEN IS FOR REAL, if you have not already read it. These families, this school and town deeply need our prayers.
Dec. 15, 2012 southpaw	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Spring Nats Mobile is a new tourney attempt by SSUSA; SPA will still be in Montgomery the 3rd weekend in March.
Dec. 14, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Warm-Up Tourney in Birmingham, Alabama The date has finally been added to SPA's calendar. It is the 3rd weekend in March (14--17).
Dec. 12, 2012 southpaw	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: New Team Forming Sarge13, just curious, is this the Eagles team from this year just re-forming?
Dec. 12, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Warm-Up Tourney in Birmingham, Alabama Well, it appears that we in the "Deep South" are going to be quite busy starting in March. My 1 day tourney is March 2; SPA is the 3rd weekend in March and SSUSA plans on being in Mobile the last weekend in March. SPA will then be in Dothan the middle of April. Already have teams inquiring about Saturday, March 2, so contact me as soon as you can. Spaces are limited. Thanks
Dec. 12, 2012 southpaw	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: looking to play Steve, you can go to Links here on the SSUSA website and locate Central Alabama Senior Softball. Coaches and players from several teams in Alabama participate in the league which starts in March. Dixie's coach is involved. Hopefully, you can join the leagues as well.
Dec. 6, 2012 southpaw	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Warm-Up Tourney in Birmingham, Alabama If this coming April does not develop as last April, meaning no available weekend tourneys, I will possibly be able to have another one day tourney.
