| Jan. 21, 2008 GT | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: looking for team in central texas (waco area) KC63, have you found a tournament team? If not, Houston is a nice place to play. Please advise, Thanks GT |
| Jan. 21, 2008 GT | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA Rule proposed rule changes Have these rules been formally adopted? As for pitching, I would sure like to se more pitchers, from all divisions, reply with their thoughts. I know a lot of hitters have replied and some pitchers. Just not enough of the total amount of pitchers that play SSUSA. So, managers, get your pitchers on here and lets hear from them. I pitch for a 60 AAA team. I am done with any association thats puts up a screen. I've played in many games where at least 10(this is no exaggeration) balls have come up the middle. LIne drives, ground balls. Some you catch some you don't. Couple years ago I put the shin/knee guards on for protection. I never want to see a screen. Hope to see more responses from pitchers. Just my 2 cents and its free. Good luck to all this year. GT Houston |
| Dec. 25, 2007 GT | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: when managers picks all-tournment players Einstein, its amazing how many men have no concept what a pitcher does for a team. I agree with you totally. No need to say anymore. My 2 cents. GT Houston |

Merry Christmas PS Price is right for 4 games in one day, unless I need to make it a two day tournament. |
| Dec. 18, 2007 GT | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: found on another board Hey, some of us grew up with ASA. Just cause we live in spa terrotory, doesn't mean we can't play ASA. Might be interesting. My 2 cents. GT Houston |
| Dec. 15, 2007 GT | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Any 60's or 55 team holding a tryout or practice game in CA? Taits, come to Houston. We hit all year round. Even supply the balls for you. Merry Xmas GT |
| Dec. 15, 2007 GT | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: tournament officials This one hit home. No reason not to have emergency service info available for quick response. We are over 50. Wish an ambulance in Houston was only $1000.00. Pray you never need one here. Hope the TD's are reading this and better prepared in the future. GT |
| Dec. 1, 2007 GT | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: moving up Hey Scrappy6, Pitcher, Christian Bros Auto.Congrats on taking third place. We enjoyed our game with you as we did with everyone else there. Glad to see so much good commraderie among the teams. Enjoyed chatting with the different players, especially the guys from Hawaii, who we don't see all year. Hope to run across you guys during 2008. Ike, congrats on keeping just your team. Not a lot do that. No wonder you were questioned. Loading up doesn't a team make. Hope you all have a great 2008--except against us lol. Happy Holidays |
| Nov. 28, 2007 GT | Topic: Bats Discussion: looking for?? Hawian pete, I have a 05 blue/silver barrell from 05. Haven't used it in a while. 28 end loaded. Not sure what weight your looking for? Let me know if your interested. Thanks |
| Nov. 22, 2007 GT | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: ASA to change mound distance Jawood, I hope that is true. Greg T. Christian Bros Auto Houston, Tx. PS you will never hear me complain about guys hitting the middle. All part of the game. Happy Thanksgiving to all |
| Nov. 1, 2007 GT | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Moving a topic Nice one Bruce, Our insurance company, which is BollingerASA told us as long as we are not a Championship League, we can use the U2. Might look into that. We've never had a problem with insurance and everyone has a U2. Its great to draft. I managed in the upper division and we won both. But, its the fun of playing good competition and meeting new guys you get on your team each year. You find out you have much in common with them during the course of the year. Thanks for you input. Hope others will join in. Nice to know whats going on around the country. I know others are just starting an association and maybe they will pick something up from this or contact those that already have them. We are getting ready for Vegas, just hope there will be some other 60's teams there. lol. GT |
| Nov. 1, 2007 GT | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Moving a topic BruceinGA- I put my reply about our league in the "Moving a topic" message. You asked about our league. Its all there. Should have made a new topic---oh well, senior moment. Hope you and others reply about your leagues. thanks GT |
| Oct. 31, 2007 GT | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Moving a topic Harris County Senior Softball League, Houston, Tx. We have approx. 280 members. Four divisions, six teams each. League are set by ability. Top divison has many tournament team players. Major Plus, Major and 3A. Rather competitive. Each year we get 6 guys to manage, usually same ones but some changes each year. We hold a draft, so each year you have some of the same guys and some different ones. Gives guys aa chance to play with and against each other and makes for better comraderie. We play approx. 50 guys in summer, minus rainouts, then a double elimination playoff. Regular season and playoff winners each get prizes. All the other divisons also have tournament players scattered among different teams. We are prould to boast many National champs throughout the league. Each division is somewhat set by ability, but there are guys that can play the top division that choose not to for various reasons. One being we play Mon/Wed(top division and lowest division) . Tues/ Thurs for the next two divisions. Some guys can't play on certain nights for various reasons. We have a board of directors and maintan the fields ourselves. WE have the two best fields(by far the best infields) you wil play on. No cinder stones here. We have 24 teams and 24 sponsors, plus player fees to keep the league going. Been active for approx. 24 yrs I believe. Some guys who love softball started it and we are keeping it going. We also run approx. 3 to 5 local tournaments each year(See my thank you to the teams message). Thats about it. PS We have a ladies aux that sells food/drinks at our tournaments, plus run other activities for the league. Hope to hear how others are doing. You asked and here it is. Who's next? |
| Oct. 31, 2007 GT | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: VEGAS I already asked that. Get off the board and back to work. Can't you see, no one wants to answer that question. |
| Oct. 30, 2007 GT | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Moving a topic Get back to work or I'll tell Chip your taking too long for lunch. |
| Oct. 30, 2007 GT | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Moving a topic Guys, I'm ready for the attack I will get with this one. Can we move the TV Trivia to a menu that is more acceptable for this topic. I've talked to quite a few guys around the country. Most prefer this as a softball venue. I honestly don't think this topic is for this site. Why not discuss whats going on with softball in your area rather then take up a whole page with trivia that doesn't deal with softball. I'd rather hear whats going on in your league, your local tournaments or experiences in softball matters then this. So, sorry if anyone is offended, but I'm just not into the trivia stuff. Sorry if your offended by this, I'm sorry, but thats my 2 cents, as usual. GT Houston, Tx |
| Oct. 30, 2007 GT | Topic: Bats Discussion: Has the role of the Ultra 2 changed???? Don't forget all the local leagues that allow the U2. We do here in Houston. I know Willie in SanAtonio does along with the ones in Rockport and Victoria in the tournaments they run. Most likely quite a few in different areas also. So the U2 is used much more then you might think. We just limit the ball to 44/375 and have no problems with it. And our local leagues/tournaments has plenty of Major Plus, Major players in them. Just my two cents as usual. GT Houston, Tx |
| Oct. 28, 2007 GT | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Thanks to the teams Harris County Senior Softball League, Houston, Tx, held is last local tournament of the year, Oct. 13th. Fourth one we ran this year. Thanks to all the teams that have played and supported our league. Team Houston, Texas Pride, Boaz Export, Mixed Breed, Right On Plus, Hendricks Sports, Christian Bros. Auto, Bayland Geezers, Over The Hill Gang, Expert Appliances, Texas Classics, Hill Contracting, Willie's Wolves, Dallas Spurs, Opps and Senior Brothers. I probably missed some. Thanks to all. See you guys in Feb. 08, 3rd or 4th weekend. Get ready to play some ball. GT |
