We don’t have any of those tournaments around the upper Midwest, that I know of. I’m not sure how they rank players. I was contacted by the team Steph contacted and they are over full, the manager said. Not looking good. Now I know why nobody wants to play major plus. Lol

Had a great discussion with the National office. I went through my problem, she said let me see what we have..... and there is one possible team that borders my State so she is going to contact them. Aside from that there are no other options unless I could somehow hook up with one of the 9 total Major Plus teams. Most of which I would have to travel 100's of miles if not a thousand miles just to reach. I have 2-55 teams in major that border my State, basically those are my only options at this point and she wasn't sure if either were having teams next season. OUCH.
But I want to thank everyone for the help and Steph at the National office for taking the time to see what was available for me.

You will hear from me. Not sure how you will help when there aren't any teams in my area to play on. An you don't update the team lists or give out info on contacts. But, I will call for sure. Thanks

Thanks, that's what I was a afraid of. With zero teams in my age bracket available in the major class, senior ball has forced me out of the game. There is one major plus team now but they are new this year and are bringing back their team plus a couple of our guys. Looks like I'm done with senior ball until 60.

I'm think I'm stuck but want to make sure before I just give up.
I'm listed as a major plus player, our team is folding due to lack of players. 6 of our players moved up in age an will play with that bracket. What I'm wondering is how they work the process of player appeals? I need to get down to major to even have a chance at playing senior ball, at this point. We just don't have the teams in my age bracket to support Major plus players. With the few there are across the Country, there just isn't a place to play. We have 1 major team in the year class below mine but they are picking up guys just turning 50, not guys over 55. How does it work? Do I call the national office?
I really don't want to go back to playing the kids game, it's much better playing with guys that get it. lol

I talked with Bill and he helped me out with a league. I also put a few feelers out and it looks like I will be playing a little weekend ball also. Thanks for everyone's help. Enjoy the rest of your season.

Thanks Nancy.

I saw that. Just no way of finding out if these teams are still around or who runs them. I emailed the State guy hoping to get some help.
Mick, playing in one of the leagues during the weekdays will get you on a traveling team, I'm sure. or you can hope an email works, like I am.

Yeah, I don't have much faith in finding a team here. We just don't have enough listed in our State. I doubt they are watching this board.

Yes I know a few of the guys from that team, have played with and against some. I'm a C class player. AAA to major is where I belong in the Seniors after playing it already. They seem to have more than enough guys at this point.

I called the National office and was told that this was the best way to get coaches to see you are looking to play. They don't give out Contact info for the few teams coaches that our State has. If this doesn't work I can just go back to playing the non-senior game, I guess. Most of our State seems to be 60 and up, for numbers.

Left the game a couple of years ago and looking to get back into it. Minnesota is my home state. 50's this year and 55' next year. Can play pretty much anywhere. Ok speed and avg. arm. Have some power and hit for an Ok avg. Just looking to get back into the game with a team.

Discussion: Any results yet for the 50 major?

They have $450,000 reasons to just keep running it like it is. The problem with every level and every sanction is: until the teams stop going or the til runs dry change is hard to come by. The people keep playing cause it's the only game around. Coming from the kids game even as a senior, I can't believe how much the Tournaments cost to enter in Senior ball.
If enough guys ask for change they might listen, until then, they own the ball and we just play!

The ONLY 2 bats so far to hit that ball with are the Monsta and the DeMarini Flipper Aftermath. This coming season Miken will have a bat that is comparable to them both. Exist speed and distance are the best with both these bats.
