| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What makes a tournament a national tournament who do you play for webbie?? if you would put it on thread I started to see where everyone plays |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What makes a tournament a national tournament taits--my wife calls me an instigator!! hahahaha very good sir---still in the name the east west winter etc is just a location-- |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What makes a tournament a national tournament I see these tournaments being called National as using the name to attempt to attract teams from a wider area--and I see nothing wrong with it--but then I see nothing wrong with the CRs senior bats the mat extra 1st base etc as we all play by the same rules and the same field so all is equal for both teams therefore making the team that hits the best runs bases the best and fields the best the winner--and that all comes down to comraderie and friends so why oh why doe severything have to be explained and/or changed--if someone has a good idea to improve the game then post it but why knock what so far works--another thought on calling them Nationals--the smaller tournament if you realize it are held in places without adequate hotel rooms for large numbers of teams but the Nationals are held in places with many more hotels restaurants etc Gary I did not feel like typing all of this again so just made short generalization to start the thread---no team is denied access as to my knowledge --the use of national is an appeal thing in my mind |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: News flash,NEW SENIOR LEAGUE to start could we have Jeff Dunham and Walter umpire?? |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What makes a tournament a national tournament to me the term Nation when applied to a tournament means that it is open to any and all teams with a national title awarded the winner. The East West Winter etc just describes the location where the tournament is held. any other thoughts??? |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... you know my friend I disagreed with the things you say and will always argue the point BUT I will not resort to name calling and belittleing you---I play a game I love as do most on here and if I find a way to improve it I will suggest my idea I will not put down anyone for using what is allowed by the rules--by doing so without a better idea one just shows their ignorance---last night you tried to slight my wife someone you have never seen or will never see today you call me a derogatory name--I prayed for your lost sole last night and shall do so again tonight why?? because i am smart enough to know we --all of us--only play this or any other game through the grace of God-- incidentally in response to your comment about my wife last night--in Raleigh before a game as we were sitting in th edugout an umpire came over to our dugout and inquired as to who was married to the blond--- kinda funny Gary once again you are so mistaken--my wife is drop dead gorgeous--- |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Rock'n Reno the end of May Gary19 you can run all around the circle but yo ucannot disclaim that both teams play by the same rules on the same field with the same equipment so in the end the winner plays better defense hits better and runs better--no other explanation needed--- As for the National thing--the winners and no other are invited to the national tournament period what is so hard to understand about that---- |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... I merely pointed out things Gary has been saying himself in an effort to get him to lighten up---I play as many tournaments and suppost the hotels and restaurants whereever they are held and if anything want the game improved not torn apart by someone that says he played in no tournaments this past year--I inquired to SSUSA as to his name and where he lives-- |

| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... I am inquiring to SSUSA staff as to where you live and your correct name--no one calls my mother that name---I have not said anything derogatory about you just that fact that you complain about soemthing constantly that yo udo not even participate in-- |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Rock'n Reno the end of May perhaps senior softballers need to take their senior bats and attack the NHRA--when I was in HS they had several National events every year--and they have expanded from there--- |
| Dec. 28, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... Gary19 apparently you type and have no idea what you say--one of the first posts I read by you a few months ago you said your wife had 14 HS letters--another post on the same thread you brought your kids into the conversation something about your daughter being in medical school---since I do not know you how would i knowhow many letters your wife has and on a SENIOR SOFTBALL site why did you even bring her into the conversation--all I can figure, since you said you didn't play tourneys last year that you have nothing to live on of your own--I started a thread asking everyone what team they play for as I would like to know actual player posts from wanna be's |
| Dec. 27, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WHAT TEAM DOES EVERYONE PLAY FOR might be interesting to see who everyone plays for--I will start--played most of season with Jim and Joes 65s from Louisville then played with Columbus Silver Sticks in WinterNationals--id possible will be with SilverSticks at TOC in Feb |
| Dec. 27, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New survey gosh TG I just went and read the letters but they were from bill collectors and other weirdos!!!wife was not an athlete but did graduate college summa cum laude--and what difference does it make how many letters we got in HS or college 50 years ago!!!! next to last word |
| Dec. 27, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Survey says lets see I drove approx 8 hours each way to Raleigh to play 5 games ---again drove 6 hours to Dalton to play 6 games and 15 hours to Ft Myers to play 10 games---it was worth every mile---nothing like standing on th ebaselines with FRIENDS and accepting a meager prize--but the feeling can never be replaced--try it Gary and see what it feels like to depend on other human beings--to support others and to give it all you have---and while you are standing there on th ebaselines you can thank God like I do every time I get the chance--- |
| Dec. 27, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... you brought up on two seperate occassions about your wifes 14 letters--and your childrens athletic prowess but never your own that i have seen--you also have stated that you did not play any tournaments in 2011--as for my wife I do not have to defend her or use her--she is very accomplished on her own and there are several members on here that can attest to her looks and class--if you played any tournaments you might meet us but its your loss not ours |
| Dec. 27, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the guys who still play with the kids....... Yes it is OUR game--heck I invented it with a little help from Al Gore while he was taking a break from inventing the internet. Gary would not understand that since he does not play th egame he just hides behind his wifes 14 HS letters--- |
| Dec. 26, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Who Cares About the Rules?! lefty tater you are correct on money figures --amount stated includes my wife accompanying me---at the same time the softball organizations have no control over hotel costs etc-- |
| Dec. 23, 2011 steve65 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Who Cares About the Rules?! add to entry fee the cost of going to tourneys--mine averaged about $700 each this year and it explains alot of why small numbers of entrys |
