| July 30, 2014 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: RENTAL CAR PRICES FOR WORLDS 9/28-10/2 Just a note but every weekend after Labor Day in Las Vegas gets a lot of play due to NFL. We get 300,000 thousand visitors a weekend people love the NFL in Vegas. Prime weather also for golf. Lots of competition for cars and taxis. |
| July 6, 2014 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Anyone find relief for piriformis syndrome? Bogie a couple things I do. I use a foam roller daily you can find them at any good sporting goods store, when I was in rehab it was Pilates based I swear by Pilates and google the figure 4 stretch it really helps stretch the muscles in that area. Good luck. Tony advice is really good same principle as using a foam roller except the balls go deeper. |
| Dec. 13, 2013 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Shoulder replacement Birdie curious what your doctor said. I'm going to have a shoulder replacement sometime in the next few months. I made the decision to go through with it after consulting with a top shoulder doctor in Los Angeles. I'm working with doctors at the Kerlan-Jobe clinic. I don't have a set date that will be determined in mid January. I'm working right now to up my conditioning, come in at a light weight with the hopes of speeding up the recovery time. If you decided to have the surgery it would certainly be helpful probably to both of us to stay in contact misery loves company or something like that. I got nothing left of my shoulder joint for conventional surgery, I have metal in there from a previous surgery 30 years ago and it migrated the MRI revealed that between the spurs and metal everytime I moved the arm it cut something. Frampton your thoughts were appreciated when making my decision. |
| Oct. 9, 2013 Lecak | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: sick players at Sunset Park It may not be Sunset. I live in Las Vegas there is something going around the Valley just as you are describing. I have several Doctor friends and they are internal medicine and they are seeing this all over. Someone I work with 30 years old just spent a day in the hospital with the exact same symptoms described and was diagnosed with a GI tract viral infection (lower intestine). He started with symptoms Tuesday landed in the hospital Thursday and yesterday started to eat solid foods. |
| Sept. 16, 2013 Lecak | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Growth of the 40 division I was looking at the number of teams in the 40 division coming to Las Vegas this year and was happy to see that 45 teams are listed. SSUSA has done an amazing job at growing this age group over the past 8 years. I played in the 40 division in 2005 and we had 5 teams. Out of curiosity I checked the ASA website and they had 33 teams for their year end event in 2005. This year ASA had 5 and SSUSA now is the tournament to attend. A number of years a group of us were invited to speak about the 40's at the senior convention in Tucson and we pitched the 40's to SSUSA, SPA, LVSSA, UTRIP and ASA which was the king of the 40's back then. The biggest excuse we heard from the associations (except ASA) was that 40's were not seniors (probably true), our response was eventually we would be and if you build it they would come and more importantly stay with whomever figured it out. Looking back the 40 division was my favorite time to play. |

| July 26, 2013 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: When to postpone shoulder surgery? I have had 3 in the past all before 1985. At this point I have limited range of motion not much over 90 degrees. Last year I went to a shoulder specialist the X-rays showed severe arthritis. He said I need a replacement but he wouldn't do it until I was past 65. He suggested a cleanup and after scheduling it I backed away. I play as much golf as I want, I have a very active and rigorous workout program in which I do use the shoulder. Can't throw a lick and really don't play much anymore. In the words of my doctor no one has ever died from a sore shoulder. He told me if I walked on my arms my quality of life would be terrible. Any exercise below 90 degrees including swinging I have no issues and you probably would not know my right arm is bad. I have also taught myself to do a lot of things with my left arm. Good luck |
| July 12, 2013 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Lower Back Pain Home Remedies Dave an easy thing you can do is buy a large stability ball and if you sit a lot say at home on the computer or in an office alternate sitting on the stability ball for say 30-45 minutes and then back to your chair. I replaced my computer chair at home with a stability ball. Because your bouncing around it promotes blood flow. Easy and cheap solution to sitting in a chair constantly. |

| June 28, 2013 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Why Do Some Guys Lose It Sooner I can't speak to the losing it end but as too rest I've had to rethink what appropriate rest is due to the type of activities I'm involved with. From a training standpoint I found that a heart rate monitor has significantly changed the way I train. Once you know what your heart is doing the group I train with have significantly increased our workload. I'm training with a 30 year old who has gone from 270 lbs to 200 lbs in 5 months with tremendous increases in strength and athletic movement. We both sought out advice and rest is quite important. We train very hard 3 days a week with complete rest 2 days and then light activity the other 2. I personally would not attempt to play softball on the 3 days we train hard. We have also noticed we can't eat the same. Proper rest and nutrition became very integral to what we are attempting to accomplish. |
| July 25, 2012 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TOURNAMENT WINNER AUTO MOVEUP Mango good to see you guys in San Clemente. We enjoyed the two games with you guys. For those that haven't played Somerville I have played against most of these guys for almost 10 years. They were Courtesy Auto as a 40 team and aged up. They added a few guys, Mango correct me but all but two of your guys are within 40 miles of each other. We had a good conversation about the major/major plus debate. It's doable I believe with the right thought that doesn't break up teams. I don't think teams should be broken up at our age. Mango you and I had pretty good seats to last weekends games. What I saw was 4 athletic teams with some differences, some were subtle, some big, a lot of Hr's some really bad pitching. The big difference was not in the hitting but the fielding and pitching. |

| July 12, 2012 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament Prizes The SOCAL players should remember the old A&V tournaments. I played in a few of those and the winners would get a nice set of custom printed shirts. As a team we gave the artwork and we were able to add a jersey that we could wear in tournaments. We put the team name, player number with our artwork and added an additional jersey for those 2 and 3 day tournies. In these hard times not having to pay for an additional jersey would go a long with teams I would believe. |
| July 12, 2012 Lecak | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Combining M & M+ As a major player the one thing that would have me say no to merging is the fact that for a major team to add a player either to replace or try and get better especially late in the season is that we have to find a tournament to qualify our roster with the new addition while the major plus teams don't. So to add a player the team is out of pocket around $5,000 (500 per player travel etc) so we can add a player while the major plus teams don't have to bear this expense. Without the exact identical roster rules I would vote no. On a side note I'm hearing from some of my major plus friends they very rarely get 7 innings in becasue of the 9 runs per inning and I believe major plus now has a mercy rule. We have played 25 games this year and I believe everyone of ours went 7 innings with the 5 run rule. The current major HR rules are 7 1 up and walks after the limit, allows for plenty of balls over the fence would that work for the major plus guys? |
| July 4, 2012 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Core muscle exercises You hear a lot about core strength with a back injury you really have to concentrate on the muscles that control rotation and stability. Here are three easy ones I do every day. Don't need weights,or expensive equipment. Make this educational I know a lot of players with balky backs. Google these, you will get you tube instructions. These three will help your softball or golf swing also. Russian twist for rotation Supemans for your back muscles Side plank for core stability Tired of hearing about bats, balls and how sad the senior game is. |
| June 27, 2012 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Walk-off Rule Yes Gary those are national rules. UTRIP is for class E ball which is by far the most prevalent of their divisions. I don't understand your reluctance to share your thoughts on those idiotic rules. Some of the young mens rules are far more ridiculous than anything senior ball has yet you hold them up as the example for all to follow. You do need to get out more. |
| June 27, 2012 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Walk-off Rule Gary UTRIP and NSA. If your going to comment on senior for having it wrong then your beloved young mans game is off the rails. How come you don't know these rules when you hold senior ball to be like everyone else? |
| June 26, 2012 Lecak | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Walk-off Rule Gary please address these rules offensive ejection if you hit a HR yet you can still play the field but when you come up your an automatic out. How about if you hit a HR the other team gets runs and the penalty escalate for example the 4th HR is 4 runs for the other team. All rules in your beloved young mans game come on man give it a rest. Softball in general is messed up. |
