April 18, 2011 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: S/W Championships Laughlin 04/15-17 SSUSA- I think you've found a great home for this tournament. The hotel rates were great and plenty of things to do when not playing. My team played at Rotary Park and it was not the best we've played on but the quality staff you had on site made up for it... very well run. I could see it getting way too hot, later in April. Congrats to AZ Elite and great to see all the other teams... West Coast, Tucson Bandits and those pesky dudes from Vegas (After/Party). Again, great job. John, Fan Grabbers 50 Major

Jan. 26, 2011 Johnny Hose	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 55 yr old OF BAT L Throw L, Power, Speed, Arm looking for a game Paul, I am the coach/manager/sponsor of one of the best Arizona based, upper- division teams.

Oct. 15, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hail storm Last week in PHX 10-5 Taits, I have a towing business in the valley. All the insurance companies flew personell in to handle all the claims. We pulled a bunch of cars out of a college parking lot, where there were a minimum of a dozen Mobil Glass Repair units. Located just N/E of Desert West ballfields.
Sept. 14, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA 2 Ronnie, Of course you thought that last game was great... you won it. Told my guys to watch out for your gun, but you really never got to use it... and chasing all those balls that Johnny D hit to you, had to be a little frustrating, eh? No really, I agree, it was fun. Great to see you again and thanks for the plugs. See you Real Soon !
Sept. 8, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA 2 Congrats to all the teams that played. Especially to those we faced in a great 50 Major division. I saw some of my old rivalries and met a few new ones, and sincerely hope all of you had as much fun as we did... on and off the field. Vegas is great. Demolition, what a squad. You are the compitition we were preparing for. Thanks for the nice things you all have said about us. Fun cutting up with you, especially Babb & Salsa. More needs to be said about the tournament though. Well run, just the wrong time of year... a month later would bring the temp down about 40 degrees. Thanks to Joe Lecak and your pals in the LVSSA for making us feel welcome and those ball guys retreiving the HR's were a Godsend. Them poor umps! Dropped like flies. Tried to keep 'em hydrated... still made bad calls. Just kidding. Great job, guys. Special thanks to my guys. We weathered through a tremendous amount of obsticles... injuries, missing teammates, lack of sleep, heat and such. It's really hard to ask the outfield to play a man short (to go to the five man infield) when it's 112 degrees. Not one complaint. What a team. Joe Einstein Rinaldi, what a class act. He played in all three divisions... 60's, 55's and 50's. Georg Robinson, the quiet "FUNK"... finished his fourth weekend in a row at LVSSA. Burbank, you'rrrrre backkk! Our outfield, Ollie, Allender, Rossi, Lecak and Kevin... howd you do it? Infield... Eddie, JoJo, Johnny D and J Dub... what a job. Tremendous team. I think all of the Fan Grabbers are looking forward to PHOENIX and see All of you again. Great job.
Aug. 1, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA 50 major teams who is attending Joe, Fan Grabbers / Az Lone Sharks will be there. God willing.
July 25, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: Bats Discussion: NEW WHITE VETERAN BAT We too had a very good morning practice with this bat, in fact we did not swing anything else. It was new out of the wrapper. Long break in, but real solid. Not only were we impressed with the bat, but with Bill the rep, also. He was very informative and can hit too ! We would definately endorse it. Fan Grabber Softball.
July 19, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SPA / Dalton, Ga. MTC - Champs 55 M+, Congrats to George, Joe and the rest of the team. Way to bring it home for your sponsor... starting 0-1 in the brackets without playing a game, then winning it ? Whoa! Had to have been exciting.
July 6, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Need a player for Pinetop II in AZ? Hey guys... I heard Mike Bloom was looking to fill a couple of spots on potential teams for this tournament. Give me a shout on my personal E-Mail: Towtime@cox.net and I'll hook you up with Mike Bloom's phone number... if you don't already have it.
June 22, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: Product review Discussion: New product called Batters ID Rossi... GREAT PRODUCT. With the price of the bats today, it is very wise to identify yours. I think most umpires in senior ball would agree that this is not a threat or alteration, and should they wish to see the lable on the knob it is a quick thing to do. Inexpensive too. You have our endorsement. Good luck. Missed you in Pinetop, see you soon.
June 3, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Whats up with Miken JamesLG, I'm with you. My team will practice this weekend and we will make a decision about the Miken Bats then. We currently swing 90% U-2's. That can change in a heartbeat. I think we all should count exactly how many swings we're getting per bat. We also have noticed a definate difference in break-in time. The bats we purchased in the last six months, take little if any to break in. Stay in touch.
June 3, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Whats up with Miken Bruce, What deal, never heard of it. Tell me more. Towtime@cox.net. And, Joe... right on... brother ! You always have a gift for saying the right thing.
June 3, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Whats up with Miken JamesLG, Geeze, now that you mention it, you're right. We're getting less than 100 swings to our U 2's. We are a desert team where we don't have to deal with the cold very often and rarely hit them in BP. I'm wondering how Corky and the boys at MIKEN would respond. Maybe it is the money, 'eh Joe? All we need is a Player's Assoc to make it right. We in Arizona are used to the word "Boycott".
May 20, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Congratulations, Steve Imlay... I too would like to congradulate STEVE for his induction. As a manager, it is my job to locate talent. It is very unusual to find a player with the Total Package. In Vegas this past weekend, I witnessed that. Very well deserved, and please continue to set the example we all are striving to reach. From all of us at Fan Grabbers.
April 19, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: To screen or not to screen... Joe, How Yous doin? Am old school and still think the pitcher is a defensive part of the game. Love to see the pitcher involved in double plays. I think screens should be used in batting practice but have a hard time seeing it at game time. I know, I have never played a game with a screen... so maybe I shouldn't comment, but it seems that a good singles hitter would hit that screen at will, never making an out. So, you've never met a coach that you could agree with anyway. Miss ya, Brother.
April 14, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Age 50: Looking to join a club in AZ Way to go guys. I love to see this. I manage a Major team here locally and have some very good players that would fit into your team well. Three in particular, two are excellent infielders and one outfielder. They are good teammates also. Contact me on my personal E-Mail (Towtime@cox.net)and I would be happy to give you their contact info.
March 30, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Spring Worlds Mesquite / St George Reg, We were so lucky to win 6 out of 7 coin tosses. Four of our games were decided by one run, not including the loss. I remember playing and losing to you guys a few times, although we all wanted to play you, it just didn't work out. We all want to play different competitive teams within our division. I think we have finally accomplished that, especially here in the West. You guys have a great mix and all I see is good things for you in the future. Thanks for the nice things you've said, my guys appreciate it and stay healthy or at least on this side of the dirt. John.
March 30, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Spring Worlds Mesquite / St George Sorry Dace, I ment Dave. It's really hard to type with sausages for fingers.
March 30, 2010 Johnny Hose	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Spring Worlds Mesquite / St George Dace Dowell & SSUSA staff... GREAT JOB. Canyon Complex in St George was excellent as Dave said and the drive from Mesquite wasn't that bad either. Spectactular country. In (7) games we had ONE late start. I don't know how you pull it off, but you are way underpaid. Congradulations to all the teams that showed in the Major 50 division. It is great to see such an evenly spread out division. Any team out of the 10 could have won it. Lots of fun. Fan Grabber Softball Club.
