| June 6, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA Announces Major-Plus Task Force Einstein---very well put and thank you for taking my post as it was meant------Respectfully------YES I AGREE major+ IS THE BEST OF THE BEST and i also support this task force. I believe in my heart they will look at the game of competitive tournament softball from all veiw points and in doing so will keep it safe and at same time keep it exciting for all. SWEET P---has a interesting point also on pitching--- And the part i agree with you the most is---i dont know any better either--LOL---love pitching and yes it has its scary times.

| June 5, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA Announces Major-Plus Task Force EINSTEIN--with all due respect to your post on up the middle DBO----I must agree completely with AIRBOSN post on safety equitment on pitcher IF player wants protection---It is my opinion that we should keep competitive tournament softball ---just that competitive. Going up the middle is part of the game. Each pitcher can decide the degree of protection he wants to wear to feel safe and protected. By doing it this way we dont make a rule that would effect everybody not to mention the out come of games. Softball should be played from foul line to foul line. Just my feelings--and yes i also pitch and have been hit in the face--legs--- arms---etc. TC----stay health and play well SB/ So. Cal Gusto60s |

| May 13, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HEADFIRST SLIDING BEACHBUM-----I wasnt going to comment anymore on the sliding---diving ---or playing hard. And this will mostly be my last comment on subject. I applaud your effort and iam sure your TEAM MATES do also. You did what you were suppose to do--- make the play---Very sorry you were hurt in the process and hope you a speedy recoverer. You have 9 guys playing behind you that count on you to play to the best of your ability(which you did). Nobody wants to see you get hurt. But no matter what kind of rules they make getting hurt is a chance you take everytime you step on the field. You can step on crack in sidewalk and twist ankle---bend over to pick newspaper up and trek back. i think what you did was a instant reflex from years of playing the game and how can you fore see getting hurt. If you have read the many many opinions and comments on this tread you will see many different thoughts on playing the game. From being--- stupid to-- picking your spots--depending on importants of game ---to game situation--to inspiring your team mates.-- to going down and dirty--or staying up and clean. Many different styles of play. All are worth putting in memory bank and respected opinions. anyways again i applud your play and sincerely wish you a speedy recoverer. take care and thanks for input.

| May 12, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HEADFIRST SLIDING SCOT TAITS------A SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU FOR BELIEVING IN ME AND DRAGGING ME--SORT OF SPEAKING TO THE 90 MPH WINDS OUT OF THE NORTH BRENTWOOD TOURNAMENT--WAS A TOUGH TO PLAY IN TOURNAMENT. THAT WAS MY START IN CONPETITIVE TOURNAMENT SOFTBALL. YOU WERE THE ONLY PITCHER WHO WON A GAME FOR US. HOW YOU CONTINUED TO THROW STRIKES IN THAT GAME WAS AMAZING. ONLY PITCHER IVE EVERY SEEN WITH A 2 FOOT BREAKING PITCH ----LOL---WIND ASSISTED BUT ON THE MAT. THANKS FOR LESSON ON ATTITUDE. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND BUT THATS THEIR PROBLEM. PLAY WELL STAY HEALTH AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. THANKS AGAIN TAITS FRIEND DOWN SOUTH SB |
| May 12, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HEADFIRST SLIDING THE WOOD---- After looking up the word theoretical and giving this a bit of consideration-------i will be the THICK ONE. Reason for this choice is simple----Ineed to get to where you and i would think most of the senior players on this site have already been to.That is playing with/against the best of the best and playing in world/national etc. championship tournaments. Being a late addition to all this senior play and being very lucky to be picked up and given a chance to play By So. Cal Gusto60 and a great bunch of guys( thank you Larry S.) is a beginning . Must chase the dream ----sort of speaking. Dont expect most people to understand. Dont even know if i have the talent to play with/against the best of the best. But i do know i have the desire and hustle and what will be will be. I like most conpetitive players love this game and all i can do is use what Junks in the trunk to get.their. Might blow a head gasket(heart) or take out a tire(knee-leg)---in that case its the THIN one. But until then its dirty laundry for me. Thats my opinion on enjoying whats left of my lifes adventure. think i'd better shut up before someone calls me a head case--lol-- have in fun at 61 Bob thanks for support and saturdays game ball was appericated----checking out CAB RIDE comment as i sit here---lol SB |
| May 9, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HEADFIRST SLIDING SISAVIC-------I applaud your adventrure and will be looking for 1 of a kind vest you won for your gallen slide----- And yes i will admit to coming up short a couple of times myself---Very very lonesome feeling being so close but yet so far Then theirs the slide on wet ground ----where your chest stops and your feet want to go over your head---have done that a couple of times ----you'd think i would of learned the first time ---lol ---believe me i know better now--lol The one i always remenber happened about 30 yrs ago and i will never forget it. This is when you could slide in at home plate-----Playing a team called Capital Instalation in tournament----they had a catcher named Frank Rodriquez--- big boy i would guess 280 to 320lbs---me 170 to 180lbs---coach waving me around 3rd base ---on deck hitter yelling down down ---just as i dive headfirsts i see him kneel down in front of plate 3rd base side -------flash goes though brain and it sez'z this is BAD-----WELL HANDS HIT HIS LEG AND FOLDED UP LIKE OLD NEWSPAPER---HEAD AND SHOULDERS HIT BODY AND STOP DEAD -----I LOOK UP AT HIM WITH MY HEAD IN HIS LAP AND HE SEZ TO ME-----NOT ON MY WATCH----LOL well anyways thanks for your input love your attitude and know where your coming from---------play well and stay health SB |
| May 7, 2008 BONES | Topic: Associations Discussion: News on NCSSA joining SSUSA I ONLY HOPE THEY CHANGE THE SLIDING RULE FOR YOU FOLKS THAT PLAY NCSSA--OR AT THE LEAST MAKE IT A PLAYERS CHOICE---SLIDE OR RUN THUR WITH THE TAG NOT THE BALL TO BASE BEFORE PLAYER RULE------KEEP THE LEAGUE PLAY ANY WAY THEY WANT TO --THATS COOL LEAGUE SHOULD BE FOR PLAYERS WHO STILL LOVE TO PLAY AND WANT THE UP MOST IN SAFETY----bUT TOURNAMENT PLAY SHOULD KEEP ALL ASPECTS OF GOOD OLD SCHOOL SOFTBALL FOR THE PLAYERS WHO ARE BLESSED ENOUGH AND HEALTHY ENOUGH TO STILL WANT TO SLIDE AND PLAY GOOD HARDCORE SOFTBALL. GOOD LUCK SCOT ----PLAY WELL AND STAY HEALTH----MOST OF ALL YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND APPROCH TO GAME IS SOLID WITH ME SB |
| May 6, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HEADFIRST SLIDING Great reply's to this post. I respect and appericate each and everyone--- WOOD---all i can say is you need to bat me after that big Galoot you were talking about because we would have 1 hell of a trench dug buy the time we got done running the bases. Always liked your style of play in the old days and see you still have that fire and desire to win playing the game hard. I like you --have seen more ankles and legs broken by late feet first slides (which is a pretty slide when done correctly) Skinned up elbows is all i've ever had ---the beauity of that is mixing a little blood with the dirt on your shirt---kind of feels like your in the game----sort of speaking. EINSTEIN-----Very well put and my exact feelings on pumping up your team. I have seen the results of these almost forgotten or banned aspects of the game win way more games then have ever been lost. Being aggressive is good ----being smart and agressive wins games DOWNS---With all due respect---its true it is a players personal desicion on how hard he wants to play the game. i agree conpletely. But i feel if he has to think about how hard he wants to play then that takes away from the team. if he plays to the best of his ability--what more can u ask. PLEASE dont ever ever take sliding out of the Tournament play as it has in some association already. League play i can except that and understand(even thou i dont agree) this is where the players that still enjoy the game and love to play should and do play---but keep competitive tournaments competitive with whats left of go old school softball.---------- tc ----stay healthy and play well. 4FOUR4& 4x4------thanks for reply ---and input ---points taken and thank you for support take care and stay health SB |
| May 4, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HEADFIRST SLIDING BRUCE-------thank you for input----Very well put -----I respect your opinion and understand your opinion on this subject of sliding. I've even had my manager come up to me before tournaments and caution me or sliding headfirst. Its the only way i"ve ever played and have never (knock on wood) been hurt yet. Afraid if i go about it any differently thats when i will hurt myself. ----if i came home with a clean uniform afraid wife would accuse me of being else where-----lol----Again thank you Bruce ---stay health and play well ----Point well taken SB |
| May 4, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HEADFIRST SLIDING FRED-----thanks for input--and with all due respect i think maybe you have forgotten exciting part of game as far as sliding goes-----sliding is illegal in most league play----but not in most tournaments i have played in. At least on West coast. i also notice alot of men LOB due to lack of hustle and not taking extra base or should i say ---not wanting to take a chance. i guess base to base is part of the game also and i respect that. 3 more hits and u score if no DP. where as 1 hit and no chance of DP scores man from second. In all my 35+yrs of playing this game i dont think I've ever been called stupid for sliding head first or even heard anybody else call someone stupid for sliding this way. Might of been a stupid trying to take the extra base depending on game situation. I respect your opinion and wish you well in all your games to come. TC SB |
| May 3, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HEADFIRST SLIDING Got a couple Questions on sliding headfirst and running bases and team attiitude. 1. Do you think it would inspire your team to see 1 of your guys slide headfirst???? 2. I.ve noticed in senior ball player gets a base hit and slowly jogs to first base instead of running hard and looking to take extra base; what is your opinion on that????? 3. what in your opinion (besides good offense and defense) makes up a winning team??? No big deal --- just wondering what someone elses opinion is on these subjects------------ SB |
| April 16, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: THE WOOD THE WOOD Unbelieveable---Spiderman is still with you what a small world---Please tell that guy i said Hi and glad he is still doing his Water polo thing --thats really great. Yes it was jerry hamilton and the Gary i was thinging of i believe his last name was heffner or heflin. He was a guy i believe Capital picked up in Arizona and hit the ball a Mile. he hit one over my head one time i didnt even move and i was playing him deep. One of the longest homeruns i had ever seen at that time. Fun u mention the Anaheim Bar league ---That was first time i ever played softball and dave and bobby westphal played on that team----team was HONEYDOLL BAR and skip young played for the TIKI ROOM---BOBBY YOUR MEMORY IS GOOD AND SHAPE. So sorry to hear about Mike cox and also that sweet shortstop ---i think donnie that passed away about 1 yr ago or less 2 Great Great players and iam sure was a great loss to softball world. And yes Kent cooke was are shortstop if i remember right ----great player and Barry Walkins --i played with him in a Fullerton league with the westphals--Geez i could go on forever---So many good times. Craig Dickie loved that guy last time i seen him was way back at San Deigo toun and i think after that he played with you guys --CAPITAL --for a while not sure how long----wood this is getting long and i enjoyed your reply---i get back to you again when my fingers start working again---lol---take care for now and again good luck Sonny Beavers ---So Cal Gusto60 |
| April 15, 2008 BONES | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: THE WOOD Bobby been following your posts and all your fun stuff threw the yr. Wondering how good your memory is. Back about 30 yrs ago. Do you remember a team called Anaheim Merchants? or Little Big O. We played your team Capital quit a few times. Fenced fields you guys killed us. Open fields we won a few. Also believe ---if memory is right --your team played in a doulble headed league at Daute park or field in Daute. We battled their a couple of seasons to----CAPITAL INSTUATION----excuse spelling and grammer------what a great team that was. Guys i can remember are FRANK R. catcher HANK K. 3rd BLOND HAIR JERRY PLAYED 2ND i think MIKE COX, and MIKE F.-outfield GARY H i think outfield and of course your do everything guy spiderman--- You guys made GATORADE--excuse spelling---what it is today with as much of it you drank. My name is sonny beavers and i dont expect you to remember me. Players i played with were SKIP YOUNG--DOUG PETERSON-JIM DERRINGER--CRAIG DICKIE--RICH COXS-MICKEY MISE---GORDON BARGER(PACKY) i still remember 1 tourney in phoenix where you guys kept bouncing home runs of that old water truck behind the left field fence. You guys always had 8 guys who hit the ball 9000 ft and the other two batted 800. Well anyways thats when all tourney's were dbl elimation and the Bombat was the hot item. I just got picked up by So Cal Gusto and hopefully both are teams will be at same tourney and i'll look you up and say howdy-----Sounds like you still playing great softball with your GSF team. Good luck this season and stay health. Feels good to see some players i use to play with and against still getting dirty at the game we all love. Take care. Sonny Beavers----So Cal Gusto 60s |
