| Dec. 25, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Hemi racer looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the softball players that come to the event. I am looking forward to working with ball players. I have been working with players my whole life. I really enjoy helping others in their game. The weather should be real nice and with all of the other players/instructors involved it should be a really nice event... Also want to say Marry Christmas to all and have a super holiday season.

| Dec. 12, 2014 Gorilla Boy | I am looking forward to going to Vero Beach for the first Senior Spring Training event. Alan Tanner and Team 1 Sports are putting the event together for the senior players. It should be an outstanding time. The weather should be great and what more can you ask for in the month of March. For all of the Northern folks it will be nice to get away from the cold. So come on down and join in on the fun in March. Mighty Mike Macenko aka: Gorilla Boy |
| Dec. 7, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Spring training in Arizona Neil Teague has a Spring Training deal set up in Vegas where Denny Crine lives. He has been working it the last couple of years. I would give Neil a call. I will get his phone number and post it for you. Not sure if he is doing it again or not but he would be your best bet.

Just want to give a shout out and congratulations to Billy Blake from San Antonio on his induction into the ISA Softball Hall Of Fame in 2015.

Could hit with anything. Great career that is till going thanks to Senior Softball.... Mighty Mike Macenko aka: Gorilla Boy |

| Aug. 6, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Softballs for World Championships in Vegas Last year at the Worlds in Vegas we went through almost 500 dozen X-Rocks for the tourney. This year we have over 600 dozen put aside for this years worlds in Vegas. Can not tell you about next year but I do know that this year we have a number of balls ready to be hit. So it should be a shoot out again. Good Luck to all teams that make it there..... Mighty Mike Macenko aka: Gorila boy |
| July 30, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Bats Discussion: SENIOR BATS What you need to do is call me and I will be able to help you in certain situations. I believe my reputation speaks for itself. If you call Anaconda you get random sales persons. If you call me you will get a softball salesman that does care about the players and respects the buyer. Some things I can't change but with me you do have a chance. Mighty Mike Macenko |
| July 26, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Bats Discussion: SENIOR BATS Paco 13 is right. We have the Senior Gear and the Twilight for 99.00.. The Senior Gear is a great bat with as much pop as a lot of the other senior bats. Yes the end cap can be a problem with a lot of different types of bats but Combat has had it's share of troubles. The Twilight never took off because of a couple of different reasons. One being that it takes a long time to break in. It is worth the money especially if you break a lot of bats. Just my 2 cents that ain't worth much. Anyway give me a call if you need a good cheap senior bat. 330-419-0205. Oh by the way the hip replacement did kick my ass a little bit but I have started Physical Therapy and I will be ready to roll some time real soon. Have a great day and a better tomorrow.

| July 12, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Patty Mac I sure hope Patty Mac is on the uphill. My prayers are with you brother. It's been two weeks for me on the hip. I am trying to take it one day at a time. You do the same and we will both be playing again soon. God Bless... Mighty Mike Macenko |
| July 1, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mike Macenko Ultra 2 From all the players, thank you for the kind words. My surgery went well and now just like I said I am on the positive side working my way back up, Doctor did his part and know I have to do mine.. Really looking forward to getting back on the road again. If anybody needs anything just give Mighty Mike a call. Mighty Mike Macenko aka: Gorilla Boy |
| June 29, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mike Macenko Ultra 2 Dandy12, yes last year I was struggling with the hip and not able to swing like before. After 3 cortisone shots it was time to do something about it. I just had it done on Tuesday and feel a whole lot better without that constant pain. I had a great Doctor in Keppler and he did a great job. I got home Friday and I am feeling pretty good already. Doing my exercises and the hip is doing great. The doc said the hip was in bad shape and needed to come out. Had some bone spurs involved in it as well I am already able to walk without my walker. I am in no hurry. Just want to take my time. So far it has been great. Thank You for the well wishes form players. I will take it like an AA member. One day at a time.. Ha! Ha! Mighty Mike aka: Gorilla Boy |
| June 21, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mike Macenko Ultra 2 Thank you for the get well wishes. I tried to go with a couple of cortizone shots to make it through the summer but it did not work out like I was hoping for. After limping and hobbling around for 5 days in Reno I have no other choice but to get the hip replaced. I do have a great doctor in Dr.Keppler and am looking forward to the day I can walk and not limp around. I have read all the post from other players so I am confident in the procedure. After having the surgery for the Subdermal Hematoma in December I really feel good. No more light headedness so I am happy and really can't wait. Gary I would like to play with your team again. Sparky it was great talking with you yesterday about the old days with Tex Collins and the boys. The Detroit Ceasar gang... What a franchise. Alan keep up the great work selling those bats and playing ball with your Team 1 Sports. Anybody looking for any equipment you can call me on Monday but then I will take a week off of work. I will be back working the following Tuesday. I have my tournament the Big Cat Classic in Brook Park, Ohio on the 4th of July. Not quite sure yet about it. Have some teams that have changed their minds because of the Holiday. Still trying to put it together. If interested call Mike Block @ 330-963-7189. Thank You. Enjoy your weekend.

| June 20, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mike Macenko Ultra 2 Anyone that is interested in one of these bats can give Mighty Mike a call at 330-419-0205 and get a great price for the bats. The bat weights are 26, 27, 28, and 30 oz. They are all endloaded with a 1 oz. endload. I believe you will be surprized how well these bats are playing. You can call me anytime to discuss hitting because that is what I do best! Good Luck to all players. I am going in on Tuesday to have hip surgery so someday soon I will be able to swing again. I have a great Dr.named Dr. Keppler and can't wait for the pain to go away. Looking forward to the results. Everybody have a great day! Mighty Mike Macenko aka: Gorilla Boy |
| June 8, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For all that know TODD JOERLING Sending prayers to Todd Joerling and his family. I played with so many players over the years, but I can tell you there was no better teammate or family man than Todd Joerling. His son fought a brave battle for so many years. It is so heartbreaking that this has happened. God Bless his son and his family at this time. May the Lord give his family the strength that they will need at a time like this. Mike Macenko and family..... |
| June 6, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken Ultra II TOC Limited Edition Senior Softball (ULTTOC-UII Slow Pitch The TOC is a very good bat. I don't know who is selling the bat for 159.00 but that is a good price. The bat is taking the place of the Red Max Load bat. Have sold a number of them for Anaconda Sports. It is a very good bat. Just my .02 worth. Mighty Mike Macenko aka: Gorilla boy |
| June 3, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mike Macenko's Ultra 2's....... Back from Reno today and just want to say it was good seeing a number of friends playing softball. The astroturf parks in Sparks at the Golden Eagle Complex make for some real good defensive plays. Saw a number of them this past week. The fields are awesome and I saw a few real long homers as well. Saw John Heller hit one on the one diamond that made it to the road in left field. Player from East Bay hit one over the road a little bit deeper in left center. Saw Kruegs hit a couple of tape measure. All in all the ball was flying very well. It's Reno right! Had a good time selling bats and face makss. Congrats to all of the winners in their respective divisions. I will see you at one of the next ones. The hospitality was great also at Carson and Golden Eagle. See you on the road again..... Mighty Mike Macenko aka: Gorilla Boy |
| May 29, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mike Macenko's Ultra 2's....... Update from Reno. We will be at the Golden Eagle Complex today. We should be set up by 8:00. We have the Black Original Miken Ultra2 ,the TOC bats that took the place of the Red Max Loads, and the White 2 piece and the Mike Macenko Big Cat Endloads. Stop on by. Thanks.

So we will have someone there the whole time. What fields are you going to be at. We will make sure he gets to it. Thank You... Mighty Mike Macenko aka: Gorilla Boy |
| May 24, 2014 Gorilla Boy | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mike Macenko's Ultra 2's....... Dave, I will be staying at the Nugget in Sparks. Yes have them stop by there or I will see them at one of the ball parks. We will be at them all at one time or another. Sounds good. See you there. Mighty Mike macenko aka: Gorilla Boy |
