| Sept. 4, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Question And what the HeDoubleHockeySticks has he got to do with Senior Softball???????? "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |
| July 4, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: looking for a 50m to becoming a 50MP sponsor or part sponsor in So Cal But he has the time during his "busy" hours to hit this board almost 50 times? I'm really sure that if Patricia (payback for Spanky) would send an email to SSUSA and explain his current "busy schedule with meetings", someone would call him back after office hours. He must be a real trip in those "meetings". Sorry Dave, but enough is enough! Sparky "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |
| July 3, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: looking for a 50m to becoming a 50MP sponsor or part sponsor in So Cal Dave...I'm going to be nice and let you have this "nut case"! I know he does not want part of me! Sparky "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |

Simply pick up a phone and dial the number for SSUSA and clear what ever it is rolling around that head of yours and "TALK" to someone in the main office. You keep beating a drum on this site and like you were told, 44 times.....Duh.....Get a clue! "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |

| July 1, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: divivsions.. Truly an excellent analogy 17Black! "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |
| June 11, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Digital Newspaper Keep pounding them with awesome questions Dbax. I've tried the same thing, but those people in the great white tower are like politicians. They can spread it thick if it benefits them and duck on issues they might have to account for and/or have no proper answer. "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |
| June 9, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: Bats Discussion: SSUSA Staff: Shaved Bats NORTH, EAST, SOUTH and WEST.......THE MONEY IS THE COMPASS THAT DIRECTS SENIOR SOFTBALL THE BEST! "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |
| June 8, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: would like an explanation I agree with you Joel 1975 and it was "Banker & Mann" not "Banker & Man" and is a major reason why neither of us are involved with sponsorship this season. "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |
| June 8, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Pay to play a quality tournament Amen to that......Would be nice especially at Canton but I heard that the complex was taken over by the township. Don't know that for a fact but heard the rumor just the same. Both gentlemen are deeply invested in USSSA & Slow-Pitch and it's a shame that Senior Ball has not developed into a much larger entity within the Metro Detroit region. Fond memories of many, many games at both Liberty & Canton. "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |
| June 6, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISA / SSUSA Southeast Championships Once again.....If the Senior Associations INCLUDING the SSUSA would use today's technology which they for some reason refuse to do, a lot of this Umpire mess and Umpires "doing their own thing" would be eliminated to a large extent. This "new technology" is call "YouTube" where Positioning, Field Mechanics, etc. could be made to be part of an Umpire's overall training. I have attempted to bring this idea to the attention of not only the California Powers To Be but to each Regional SSUSA UIC as well for the past 4-years TO NO AVAIL!

| May 31, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Best Wishes On behalf of the entire Senior Softball family, I would like to extend our best wishes to Scott Taits (aka: taits) for a successful operation & speedy recovery from his pending back surgery next week. |
| May 26, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Arrogance can hurt a pitcher He might as well draw a big red target on his chest and say "hit me if you can"! "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |
| May 26, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: Associations Discussion: Baden Fire softball 2SB550YS Junk in its core! Like everything else in "all" Senior Associations, everything is done for the almighty $$$$$$$$$. When something doesn't go right, negative Umpire/Tournament setings or bad equipment/balls are brought to this venue, the "powers to be" simply ignore and wait for it to quietly disappear off the 1st page. Look at some of the problems brought up within the past few weeks with Umpires, Texas Tournament Officials, etc. and not once has a "power to be" come forth to at least address the situation/problem.

| May 22, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: getting 3 games vs our 5 Remember the good 'ol days when a club would win a tourney, were given most of the time individual trophies, a nice Sponsor trophy to take home and perhaps a t-shirt and in some large tourneys, a jacket or better. I remember playing in a big Class "A" tourney that a "Beer Ticket" provided by a local bar was given to a player by the Umpire as he touched Home Plate upon hitting a home run (and not with these "high-tech bats" of today). Local bar was packed all weekend. "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |

| May 17, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HOME PLATE UMPIRE POSITION As a follow-up to my point made earlier in this discussion, there hasn't been any Regional U.I.C. and/or the SSUSA Vice President/Umpires reply to this discussion. |
| May 16, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HOME PLATE UMPIRE POSITION What UIC Challenge? Dollars to donuts the TD was running the show including the Umpire staff! Once again.....If the Senior Associations INCLUDING the SSUSA would use today's technology which they for some reason refuse to do, a lot of this Umpire mess and Umpires "doing their own thing" would be eliminated to a large extent. This "new technology" is call "YouTube" where Positioning, Field Mechanics, etc. could be made to be part of an Umpire's overall training.

| May 15, 2016 Sparky.1 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HOME PLATE UMPIRE POSITION And once again, no formal training for the Umpires working in today's game unlike in the ol' days. Where was the tourney's UIC? O' I forgot. Don't need one because according to those in charge, these Umpires are the "best". "the Rattlesnake" (just for Dave) [grins] |
