| Oct. 8, 2008 OREO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: benefit Recently I posted a messege asking other teams/leagues to consider sponsoring benefit tournaments to aid their local food banks. As everyone knows the Houston area was recently hit hard by hurricane IKE, as a result the local food bank shelves had been depleted. As it was we had already planed a benefit tournament for The Houston Food Bank this past weekend. IT WAS a great sucess!!!! We sent over 2000 lbs. of food and $1500. in cash to help those in need. In addition to the 12 teams involved in the tournament, we played a game against a celebrity team of ex-NBA players and local celebs. In addition a game was played against men from the local Open Door Mission, what a great time these men had. Seniors vs. Hunger could become a nation wide effort supported by the great group that we all represent. Think about it guys! Bill Wilson, Christian Brothers 60aaa |

| Aug. 13, 2008 OREO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BENEFIT TOURNAMENT Hey guys, my name is Bill Wilson, I'm the manager of Christian Brothers 60+AAA team out of Houston. We are going to be sponsoring a tournament in Houston to benefit The Houston Food Bank this October 4th. The real purpose of this note is not to look for teams to come to this tournament, BUT to suggest that this might be something worthwile for other teams to consider doing in their area. We are calling this event Seniors vs. Hunger. We are able to get news paper & radio coverage from a Christian radio station. In addition we are going to have a celebrity softball game. We are asking teams to contribute a bag of groceries and\or $15. per player to go directly to the Food Bank. Local business is helping to cover cost of putting this event on. Wouldn't it be great if we were able to get this going "NATIONWIDE". (in addition to getting the word out about senior softball). If anyone has any questions you can contact me at billandcathy9687@sbcglobal.net (special thanks to TEXAS HALF CENTURY for their envolement) Let me know what you think! |

| April 3, 2008 OREO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team Coaches Get No Respect AMEN ENVIRO, as manager I feel it is as important about people as it is about winning. We all want to win, but we have asked our team to invest the time and expense to go to these tournaments and are bound by our own conscious to balance our desire to win against being fair to all. On the other hand if a player is struggling he should be willing to say so and volunteer to sit for the good of the team. No one every said it would be easy, otherwise everyone would be lined-up to take the job over. |

| March 18, 2008 OREO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Who will be in Irving? LL, that was a little tongue'n cheek comment. I don't expect anymore than the same teams we see every year in these texas tournaments. Maybe due to the previous popularity of the Baytown bbq blast we will see some out of state teams. |
| March 17, 2008 OREO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Who will be in Irving? Received email from Frank last week, at that time had 6 teams in 60+ and thought there would be additional teams. He did not indicate team classification, may be all major & major+ and our little aa team |
| March 11, 2008 OREO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Who will be in Irving? Double L, did Frank say a "total" of 12 teams or 12 60+. |
| Feb. 5, 2008 OREO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tourney Scheduling A subject dear to my heart. For the past 2 years I have been asking the question, 2day tournament, friday & saturday. At 60+ I still work & plan to for awhile longer. Vacation days are a premium, If fields are a issue, find more fields or larger complexes. By the same token. don't stretch a 2 day tournament into 3, or 3 day into 4 to justify economic commitments from the cities. |
| Jan. 29, 2008 OREO | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: MOVING TO TEXAS Several weeks ago someone moving from NJ to Houston Texas ask for information. There were several responses but "NJ" has not contacted anyone. If you are still interested, we have a very good senior league here. You can respond via this thread or you can contact me direct during the day at 2813709191, or after 6pm at 7133067967. Great league, great fields, great group of seniors. bill w |
| Jan. 24, 2008 OREO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rule changes - where are all the Major Plus players opinions? Just a thought, if there are teams out there that win everything in major plus and have no where to move. What about the possibility for example of the 55major+ team moving the next year to 50major level & so on?? |
