Discussion: Today's "super" bats

Totally agree with your assessment "fennellwg". Most were never considered "power hitters" back in their youth but now with these high tech tools at their disposal, they are in their own mind, an awesome "hitting machine".

Fabe......just in case you missed the back-end of my previous post.......

I wish more individuals running their respective clubs were like you with your dedication & professional attitude. Keep the Island clubs strong and growing. You are truly a class act and a wonderful privilege to call a friend.

Discussion: Retirement

It is with great emotional feeling that I am officially retiring out of Slow-Pitch Softball on all levels.
I have searched high & low for a group of players to Sponsor with no luck. Most of these teams were just looking for a “cash cow”, had no clue how to treat a Sponsor and there have even been a couple of these teams which had some players that wanted me to pay them to play.
Realizing that the game has much like today's society changed, I no longer feel the love & respect for the Great Game of Slow-Pitch Softball and the Players who now perform upon the field of play.

Discussion: Batter hitting the strike mat

Guess the major question should be, what kind of hitter is he? Have seen some strange swing-types and this one might be at the top of the list, but if he is a "hitter" then so be it.

Discussion: Mike Ilitch

Mike Ilitch (7-20-29 to 2-10-17) passed away. e was the founder for the Little Caesars Pizza franchise and a long-time sponsor in slow-pitch softball. I knew him & his family during my playing time with the Detroit Little Caesars Softball Club during the '70's in the ASA and then the professional Detroit Caesars in the late '70's. I am sure many of you will remember him especially those that performed on the upper level of slow-pitch back in the day. R.I.P. Mr. Ilitch.....

In total agreement Andy. Took a little while, but SSUSA got the system down and it's great to see tourney results almost immediately. Nice job all-around!

Discussion: sponsors

As a Sponsor, you might consider starting off with what State you are in and then list some accomplishments rather than just "serious" and "plays a lot". What age level and what schedule?

Biggest omission? Contact info like phone number and/or email address.

Discussion: Vegas Fields?

Tentative field assignments for Session #1 is already listed and with the amount of teams coming in for Session #2, Dave & the staff will have their hands full.

It was Labor Day weekend and the final day for entry was September 2nd. Surprised that the complete list is posted and I'm sure the Tentative Field Assignments for Session #2 will be up & running this week.

Give them a little time to enjoy the Holiday weekend and the everything will come together!
