May 21, 2013 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: French Valley Softball League is now forming their summer season French Valley softball is looking for players to have some softball fun on Thursday nights. Starting June 20th our summer session begins. This is a great importunity for 45 year old (and up) players to see what senior softball is all about. If you're not going to play pass the word around. French Valley is located just outside the city limits of Murrieta and Temecula California. In the heart of the The Southern California Wine country. For more information contact Tom Jadwin at 951 805-4746 or email him at patriotwind@live.com
May 21, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Results of the SCSSA Spring Shootout Results of the SCSSA Spring Shootout in Temecula CA. Great softball weather. You guys that don't come to southern California are missing a real treat this time of the year. Cool and a little breezy on Saturday but Sunday was absolutely beautiful. 24 teams enjoyed the pleasure of doing battle under clear blue sky's in low 80s temps. In the end there were only 5 top teams. A special thanks to all the teams for your participation. Division #1 (1) Arizona Elite (2) Team Rawlings Division #2 (1) Grants Posse (2) Sugamele Golf Division #3 (1) Double Play (2) Nighthawks Division #4 (1) Top Gun 60 (2) Venom Division #5 (1) Cal Extreme (2) No Guts No Glory More information on the web site: www.socalssa.com
May 21, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Bats Discussion: Establishing a rationale for the use of senior bats in 18+ leagues... The French Valley Softball League has a 45 and up age group. 45 to 54 cant use senior bats. (only ASA or U-trip) 55 and up can use senior bats. last week a guy that hadn't played for some time brought an aluminum bat. He's been living in a cave for a while :O) To answer your question I cant see the rational for 40s using senior bats let alone an 18 year old.
May 2, 2013 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The Rock balls I find this an interesting subject. We have an organized batting practice group that meets every Wednesday and Friday at Spencers Crossing park in French Valley. We have around 100 "ROCK" balls. (the choice of the players) Yesterday I noticed several (yes several) balls wiggling as they flew into the outfield. Those balls were not knuckle balls and were definitely spinning. I asked one of the guys to check one of those balls as he picked it up to see if it was cut. It wasn't. I'm just wondering if there is a design flaw in the construction. We cut one apart last year and it has two outer shells. This is what gives the ball the spongy feeling and I suspect the durability in heat. I'm thinking the two shells after being hit morf in some way to redistribute the weight somehow thus causing the ball to wiggle in flight. Are you sure these balls were not spinning?? I'm not an engineer but it would be interesting to find out. We as an association through the encouragement of several managers have just started using this ball. If the ball is flawed we will switch back. I'm less concerned about balls breaking down than a possible safety issue. I guess we can test it on the 18th-19th in Temecula as I have a case of them on the way. More input is welcomed.
April 22, 2013 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How can SSUSA possibly reclassify an established Major+ team Whether its Fan Grabbers or not a quick check of the Vegas major division will tell you Fangrabbers are in with the M's not the M+'s. Another clue is the ratings tab under 55s.
April 16, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Championships, Vegas AZ Elite is scheduled to do 5 of ours this year. Sorry you guys couldn't come Saturday - Sunday. We had five 50M teams and four 55M teams. 45 minutes from Ontario International Airport with 11 regional tournaments throughout the year we offer a great opportunity to play in the Southern California sun. See you next month!
April 16, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Championships, Vegas Scott you can always come down south where the big boys play :O) Temecula is gorgeous this time of year.
April 15, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Results for the Monsta Bat Spring Championship in Hemet CA 4-13-14 Results for the Monsta Bat Spring Championship in Hemet CA 4-13-14 With the wind chill factor reaching 76 degrees on Saturday 26 teams braved the Southern California weather to do battle in Hemet California. It was the first Monsta Bat Spring Championships. I overheard someone say on Saturday "the weather is so good lets play three". And so they did. As well as two on Sunday. In the end there were five winners and 5 runners up. Our thanks to Carl at Monsta Bats for sponsoring this event. Each division champion will receive a new Monsta Fossil for their booty.

April 8, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Bats Discussion: Tuff Shield In case anyone is interested The SCSSA will have these for sale at the next tournament. Colors: Red, Black or Royal $10.00
April 8, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Z-Bra HR: Boy what an ego too... Yes technically I worked for Joe cuz he was president. He had a personality like dracula. Well I guess he had no personality then. My boss was Dennis Holding VP of Sales. Now this will take you back. Remember the Frantic 4 top fuel dragster? The "Four" were Weekly, Rivero, Fox and Holding. Jim Fox and Dennis Holding supported the top fuel car with a paper route in Pomona. Yes a paper route. They threw papers at 3am to 7am and then went to work in the day. Fun days for sure!!
April 8, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Z-Bra Rob (curveball) glad you had a good race and congrats. I read somewhere Rick has his own ride. Its red in color I think. I'll have to do some research. Looked like a good race. I was rooting for an all girls final in Funny car though. I always liked Stardust Raceway in the old days. Haven't been to the new track as I don't get to vegas that often. Yes by all means come over. We have 11 tournaments a year. Next weekend we have 26 teams. Hemi guy enjoy the southern nationals. I was in atlanta once a lifetime ago when I worked for Mr Gasket. I had a blast in those days. But reality and old age catches up to you. Sad day today my first real TV love (8th grade) passed on today. God bless you Annette... RIP. Bit of trivia for you old guys that were Mouseketeer fans. Mouseketeer Tommy was non other than Top Fuel TV Tommy Ivo. But I never watched because of the guys anyway just, Annette :O( If you're interested there is a very nice article about her on the FOX News web site Have a good one

March 27, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Promoting Tournaments Scott Im not understanding you about the color scheme on schedules and the definition no "key". Schedules are always linked to a pdf. The lettering that creates the link and its color is determined by your browser settings. For example if I write "schedule" then link it then I give it a blue color you may not see it as blue. My browser uses orange for the links I view. I hope that is what you mean? The only schedule link up on the home page right now is the schedule for the French Valley Senior Softball League which starts tomorrow night. Originally I think it was yellow.
March 27, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Promoting Tournaments We have been doing this for over a year and a half. www.socalssa.com Several teams have given us their schedules so we can post them in the RSVP listing under each tournament. It allows all the teams to see who is coming so they know who they may be paired with. We have an RSVP list that goes out past September. One thing it does is cut down on those "who's coming? " phone calls
March 22, 2013 Marv19	Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Z-Bra Rob I know Top Gun Thunder 50AAA have a Monsta. No Guts No Glory 60AAA have one. Those are the only teams I know personally that have one. National Speed Center moved to Charleston in about 1983 or 84. It was a nice building I'd say around 3000 sq ft. I think the business closed down in early 2000s when Jim contracted cancer. Had a lot of good times with the people there. They carried all the products in my brief case :O) As for Dondero how about Willy Borsch driving with one hand with his arm on the door of a AA/FA. You know Mike Lovelle lives there. (Lovelle Bros A/SR) His wife Linda is very active with the Republican party in the state Maybe we'll see you guys over here one day
