| Oct. 10, 2009 zonk | Topic: Bats Discussion: WEIGHT OF BATS The original U2 with the ASA stamp ran 26,27,28,29,30oz. The reprints start at 26oz. The U2 usually runs 0.5 to 1.0 oz heavier than the stickered weight. |
| May 24, 2009 zonk | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vinci glove I own this glove, as well as other Vincis. It is a LOT of glove; and, will take awhile to break in. The ball has a tendency to roll in the huge pocket. My current gamer is 13.5". You will need patience to get used to it. |
| May 5, 2009 zonk | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Response to Jim16 on AA Tournament Classification Jim, this is in response to your comments on 5/4/09 on the subject of the Demise of Senior Softball. While I agree with most of your points, I have to take exception to your comments about AA teams. You stated: " Making a AA national champion is a joke and we all know it, but what can we do". I was very surprised that you would state this. Especially, after I met you in Phoenix at the world tournament, and the conversations that we had about softball. Thus, what follows is with all due respect to you and the higher divisions. - Conversations with you at your bat layout at the Desert West Complex, you said to me that you were impressed by the quality of play by the AA teams. - All players are not home run hitters; or, high caliber all around players. Thus, they are not sought after by the better teams. The average player can participate in tournaments at the AA level. - I do not think it is a joke to travel almost 3000 miles to play softball. My 16 teammates and I qualified for Phoenix; and, we took it very seriously. We all have families, jobs, etc, yet we made the commitment to play. - We were the only team from the east coast in 65 AA. The other teams were from Az, Ca, Tx, Hi, Ut. When we left Philly it was 55*F. In Phoenix it was 90-95 everyday. The above factors put us at a disadvantage. - Each player had a substantial financial commitment, which for some players was even more, as they brought their wives. - I know that my teammates and I gave all we had: heart, body, mind, and soul was put into the Phoenix Tourney. - We had to come from the loser's bracket to beat a very fine team from Arizona twice to win. - The elation, pride, relief, sense of accomplishment, disbelief, etc., that we felt cannot be described. Yet, when I read your hurtful words, it does not take away from what we did. Frank Taverno, outfielder Cash For College 65 AA, Philadelphia, Pa |
| April 18, 2009 zonk | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: a very long read on low turnouts. Our team (cash4college) won in Phoenix in October of 2008. We did not have to pay for the championship rings. |
| March 29, 2009 zonk | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Turf vs Cleatsw Just saw your offer too Bruce. Thank you also. |
| March 29, 2009 zonk | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Turf vs Cleatsw Nice offer 6, thanks. Also, this will be my 2nd season using the Rev-D shoe. This is a combination cleat/turf. It is sturdy, yet comfortable; and, available in mids, & different colors. |
| March 28, 2009 zonk | Topic: Bats Discussion: asa bats Captain: I play in a few ASA leagues in SE Pa. We started this week; thus, in the cold I use: OG RT, PSTZ 98, SB27. When 55 or higher: Reaper, OG Flex, SCN9, 1997 Dem UD. Never used the 73V; but, have read and heard good things about it. They are pricey and hard to find. |
| Feb. 25, 2009 zonk | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Who were the winners in Phoenix? Ken: I was on the 65 CFC team. As far as I know, the 60& 65 won't have teams. The 70& 75 should be ok. Frank |

| Feb. 24, 2009 zonk | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Who were the winners in Phoenix? Cash 4 College won the 65AA Championship. It was definitely worth the trip. The Trump Stote 44/375 balls held up well in the heat. We had the privilege of playing the Kokopelli Eye Care team from Arizona 3 times. They won the winner's bracket; thus, we had to win twice in the finals: 14-13, and 17-12 in the championship game. We are from the east coast; and, had a really great time. |
