June 25, 2012 Marv19	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SCSSA Wine Country Invitational Results With absolutely perfect weather in one of the most picturesque settings on the west coast. Teams from as far away as Arizona, Nevada and the Central Coast of California descended on the Temecula Valley to do battle in the 3rd Annual Wine Country Invitational. In the end it was the team from Arizona, GSF, that played giant killer by defeating two of the best teams in 50/55 M/M+ age group, Nighthawks and Westcoast 50s. Hats off to you guys. In the 55 division it was the amazing team from Santa Barbara, The Coasters. Our deepest appreciation goes out to the guys that traveled a great distance to go undefeated in pool play. Only to have wait for what had to seem an eternity as the #1 seed to play in the finals knowing the late game would put them on the road at 7:30 Sunday night. I have driven that road many times from OC to Santa Barbara and we really can’t tell you how much ethics and integrity this showed us. You guys not only won the the trophy's but the the character award of the year from us. In the other two divisions the team from Temecula, Grants Posse showed once again that these guys have what it takes to be honest contenders in October for the national 50AAA title. Division 4: You will not believe one of the scores on the way to the title (42-11). This is what OTE posted in the semis to get to the final game. In the finals however it was different story as only 1 run separated R & R and OTE. In a division made up of only 60M teams in the end it would be OTE as the Champs. Only 4 teams could emerge as victors on that sunny Sunday in the Wine Country but to us you're all champions... all of you! Division 1 Champs GSF RU Nighthawks Division 2 Champs Grants Posse RU Desert Dawgs 50 Division 3 Champs Coasters RU Desert Dawgs 55 Division 4 Champs OTE RU R & R

May 24, 2012 Marv19	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Reno...Home Run Rule I'm with DD on this one guys. I know its not a total cure all but we use a strait one up and a walk. To date only the loaded up teams (H.R. hitters) have taken exception to this. Most of the time our games go 6 if not 7.

May 17, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Softball Buddys I had a conversation with Judy Lee today and she said there was a new message board out there that was taking off like a storm. Her words not mine. She couldn't provide any info on it other than the women's team managers were telling her about it. Do any of you know of this board?
May 17, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New Website John I sent you an email a week or so from your new message board. Did you get it? I haven't seen the posting on the tournament outlined in the email yet that's why I'm asking.
May 17, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ridge Hooks Spoke to Wayne and Judy Lee today in the SPA Office. Ridge is doing just fine. He has been up and they are slowly taking him of the pain meds. He said he hopes to be working again in about 3 to 4 days.

May 11, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ridge Hooks Hi Guys and Gals For those of who know Ridge Hooks of S.P.A. here is a heads up.

You can send your well wishes to the SPA office. spaoffice@softballspa.com or 405-376-7034 Ridge is a big guy with a lot of heart and wasn't suppose to recover from the stoke he had last year but he did.

April 12, 2012 Marv19	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Menifee Valley (CA) Upper Division Senior Softball - Spring Season Batter4u: Your going to love your softball choices in this valley. Along with Steve's League on week days there is a night league in Temecula and at least one tournament every weekend now through Feb of 2013. I also understand there is a Hemet league on Wednesdays along with Tuesdays and Thursdays at The Wheat. Additionally there are plans for night senior softball league in French Valley next year as well. Yes indeed senior softball is very much alive and well in the Temecula, Hemet, Menifee, Murrieta valleys. Come join the fun. Steve puts on a quality league and works very hard for the guys here. BTW if your a golfer you have I think 9 courses in a 15 mile radius. How about fishing? Diamond valley is the largest man made lake in california plus Vail and Skinner near by. Enjoy my friend enjoy :O)
April 5, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: bat/equipment bag.... Anybody that is interested in additional pictures just email me. We sell these at the tournaments. Since I put them in I think we have sold 40 to 50, including 2 team orders, in the last 6 to 8 months. I haven't had one complaint. There is a larger version as well. Its 2" wider and 4" longer 2" deeper. Less color selections and little more $$ though. wwm1@adelphia.net
March 30, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: bat/equipment bag.... Have sold a bunch of these. www.socalssa.com Click on the bag of your choice on the upper left of the page. I'm sure some on here would give it high marks.
Feb. 20, 2012 Marv19	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SCSSA Diamond Invitational - Hemet, CA 2-18-19 Great start to the President's Day weekend. 19 teams descended on the Hemet Valley to do battle. The weather was superb on Sunday as some of the giants in our sport duked it out. The Masters Division ended up with two World Champion teams for the gold. J.K. and Magic Sports Unforgiven came down to the last out before deciding that J.K. was our Diamond Invitational winner for this year. On Sunday in Division One after six and a half innings NCI slugged their way to a slim lead over the Nighthawks. In the bottom of the 7th with two out and the winning run on third the Nighthawk hitter drilled one just past the outreach of the NCI pitcher to go on to be our Division One Champ. As this was going on Top Gun 50s were playing So Bay 50s for the Division Two Crown. In the end it was South Bay 50s for the victory. Great softball guys and fun to watch. See you all next time. Masters: 1. J.K. 2. Magic Sports Unforgiven Divison 1: 1. Knighthawks 2. NCI Division 2: 1. So. Bay 50s 2. Top Gun 50s
Feb. 16, 2012 Marv19	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Menifee Valley (CA) Upper Division Senior Softball is Moving to Big League Dreams Brand new. Grand opening was 3 weeks ago. Take I-215 to the Hemet exit (I-74) the fields are on the left as you approach the off ramp going south. Go under the freeway and first left off I-74. Going north just exit on I-74 turn right then a quick left.
Feb. 8, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Car Lovers Bill Bagshaw was a sponsored car for Hays. Nice guy too. Too bad about Platt. I remember the shop was all a buzz that Monday. I was at Indy when John Mulligan crashed. His whole face was burned off. Single layer face mask with the two respirators. The back of the engine exploded. Hydrozene in the tank! Tim Bebee never got over that one. They outlawed it after that. Crower pitched a couple of clutches into the crowd that year as well. But so many have gone before their time. Lots of good guys. John Martin was a favorite of mine. I see hes gone now too. I Met Larry Minor once at Simpsons. He had Gary Beck driving the McDonalds top fueler then. Gary was a class act. Its Minor money behind the facility you know. He's chairman of the board of the organization that owns the park. Curveball I have a couple of Fontana stories, just remind me when you see me. I love to bench race :O)
Feb. 8, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What should a healthy senior program look like? Yes I did But that is what defines the progressive movement. They believe the Constitution is a living document. Remember she is one of the 4 in the 5 to 4 decisions. Another reason to vote conservative. The president nominates Justices for a lifetime term. If Mr O had his way the supreme court would look like our (CA) 9th circuit court of appeals. Talk about anarchy on steroids. We would be either Sodom or Gomorrah. Take your pick :O)
Feb. 8, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: FEBRUARY 4TH TOURNAMENT IN HEMET, CALIF. I have pictures of the new $2.3 Million dollar two story restroom / snack shack / bar / meeting room if anyone is interested. Suppose to be done in August 2012. Just drop me an email. wwm1@adelphia.net
Feb. 7, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Car Lovers Ah! terminal Island with Big Willy :O) If you were at Lions from 63 to 67 I was usually there on most weekends. Jr Fuel car and a Blown 396 Jolly Green Giant with my partner Bob Davis. After 67 I was with Hays Clutches and was on the starting line and the pits 2 weekends a month. And I got paid to do something I liked too. 72 to 74 with Mr Gasket. I was a Gasket rep at Lions and OCIR for a while. I was in the Lions tower the night Steve Evens coined the phrase "Funny Car" He played circus music when Sox and Martin - the Flying Dutchman - Dick Landy - the Ramchargers etc would come in for an 8 car show. He said "these cars are funny looking. Let's call them Funny Cars" How's that for trivia?
Feb. 7, 2012 Marv19	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Car Lovers Good job John. Looks like we have something in common. Too bad you're avoiding us :O) It would be nice to see you sometimes. Jim Davis and I were talking a while back and he and I are from the same neighborhood. I use to cruse aimlessly up and down Whittier blvd in the 60s on the weekends looking for chicks or a drag race. Didn't care which both were a rush. Bob's and Wherley's til midnight then Harvey's in Downey til 3AM.
Feb. 7, 2012 Marv19	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Palm Springs Tournament Feb 18 & 19. SCSSA Has their annual Diamond invitational on that weekend in Hemet. We have 7 or 8 40s teams signed up
