| Oct. 9, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WHO ARE CURRENTLY THE MOST POWERFUL HITTERS IN SENIOR SOFTBALL Thanks Bruce, will keep that in mind, have some back issues that may keep me out for a while, MRI today and hopefully some PT will suffice, hoping to be ready for TOC in Feb. Would really like to spend some time with Bogie to better understand his rotational hitting philosophy, he was very impressive in Vegas. Best of luck rest of the year. |
| Oct. 9, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WHO ARE CURRENTLY THE MOST POWERFUL HITTERS IN SENIOR SOFTBALL Bruce, Bogie also hit one against us that had to go 400' and I saw him hit numerous others that were some of the hardest and farthest I've seen, not sure he could compete with the 50's but he certainly was impressive. It was nice finally meeting you....how did you guys finish and do you know who won? Sonny Johnston #15 Cobra's |
| Oct. 7, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vegas Updates. . Anybody know who won the 60 Major, heard MBA and Pope were in finals......would have been Pope's 5th game, 6th if it went to if game....they took us out at 8am. |
| Oct. 5, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vegas Updates. . 60 Major plus 1. Superior SRr. Softball 2. Old Dawgs 60 3. Minnesota Masters/ White |
| Oct. 3, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vegas Updates. . Why not give it a try if you are a two-piece guy, and the swing weight is similar to your gamer and you take a lot of BP. The bottom line especially for the 50's and 60's power hitter's that are break breakers, you pay retail that is $120 for two bats, they will only replace only one. Who knows it may become your gamer. |
| Oct. 2, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vegas Updates. . Just left park 65 Major Plus 1. Full Crcle 2. Hamel's 3. Omen 60 Major not complete but 4:13 in finals and someone would have double-dipped. |
| Aug. 16, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: East vs West National Championship game Thank you for the clarification. |
| Aug. 16, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: East vs West National Championship game The only reason to play in the Eastern would be to compete for the Triple Crown, being seeded one or two would not apply since in most brackets there were not five teams.......staff is this a correct assumption. |
| Aug. 1, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: moving to Naples Fl. area What age bracket are you qualified in? What level have you played, AA, AAA, Major or Major Plus? What"s your email address? |
| July 23, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western Nationals - Who's Playing? Eastern does not appear to have the competition coming, see only 2 Majors and 1 Major Plus.in 60 and 65. Staff, when is the schedule coming out for the 65's and with small field will we be held for three days.....plenty of fields with only 20 teams in all brackets from 65-85. |
| May 3, 2014 Sunshine1949 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Pitching masks revisited Andy, this seems to confirm my concerns for pitchers with the DBO rule, I am sure you know when you throw any pitch middle or outside its coming your way, I would never suggest anyone is trying to hit the pitcher but they are simply trying to get a hit and keep it in the park. I would like to hear your opinion on this based on your extensive experience. I am playing in a tournament this weekend with this rule and its seems the pitcher has had much more activity than previous events with the old rules, fortunately no won hurt YET. |

| Dec. 8, 2013 Sunshine1949 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Indoor batting practice balls Hey Harry, how are things coming along with your shoulder? As to the ball I would recommend based on our last sessions of BP the 44/375 should be fine for you indoors.....LMAO. Harry the ball your looking for is the Total Control Ball 82, www.totalcontrolsports.com...708.486.5800. Look forward to seeing you at the TOC, safe travels and Happy Holidays to you and Terri. SJ |

| Aug. 4, 2013 Sunshine1949 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Eastern National Championships 2013 updates Congradulations to the Syracuse Merchants for winning the 60 Major, we took them to the if game but they dominated us and deserved the win, best of luck in Vegas representing the East.

| Sept. 4, 2011 Sunshine1949 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken's defective bats I have heard all the durability issues with Miken, why is everybody putting up with this.. for an extra 10 feet!!! I have Combat Centanarin with 700 hits and it hammers it. I will mishit mine and blow it by any infielder and hit it 330' so why put up with the durabilty issues. Bottom line if you want to pay for the minimal extra performance....do it and stop the complanimg. There are options but as long players don't make the Miken's and Reebock's of the world accountable for durability.. why would they modify their action. REVENUE DRIVES DECISIONS, MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION AND THAT WILL FORCE THEM TO DO THE SAME. Signed Sick and Tired of the whinning. |
