Aug. 9, 2011 FreeAgent10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Prayers for Ewald Schadt Please say a prayer for Ewald and his family. Ewald has had ALS for a few years. He is being sedated but the prognosis is not good. I know many guys around the country know Ewald and what a super player and person he is and many of you know his wife, Denise. Personally, I have not met two nicer people in my life. I will update this message when we have more info. Its a very sad time for us. God Bless All. GT Houston
Aug. 9, 2011 FreeAgent10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: ENVIOUS OF CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA mad dog. I counted a total of approx. 66 tourney teams, all age brackets, in Texas. 50--21 55--9 60--16 65--9 70--7 75--1 80--3 According to the ratings. 10 of these teams are in the ElPaso area, so we rarely see them at any Houston or Austin tournaments. We do draw teams from Louisianna, which helps to play different teams. Big state, but really not that teams. Those states that have a large organization are lucky. Its a long ways to travel in state and gets expensive for teams that are self-sponsored. The heat and humidity have an affect on tourneys also. Low team turnout,means not much rest between games. As we all know, we've play 4 games in a row in this weather lately. Just a little info. GT Houston
June 26, 2011 FreeAgent10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Houston National Senior Games - interested in feedback Congrats to my friends, Louisianna Legends 60's, on winning at this event. Hope to see all of you in Houston sometime soon. GT

June 2, 2011 FreeAgent10	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a team goblue. Call me at 281 468 7545. Greg. Should be able to get you some info on teams around Houston, plus there is a tournament this weekend in Baytown. You could come out there and see a lot of good teams and maybe hook up with one.
Feb. 7, 2011 FreeAgent10	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for 50's team Need more info. Infielder or outfielder? You can call me at 281 468 7545. Greg Thanks
Feb. 1, 2011 FreeAgent10	Topic: Bats Discussion: Broken Ultra 2 Thanks for all the info. I need the people involved read this board and will do as you all have mentioned. Also, had them take a picture of the bat. Definitely defective. Thanks
Jan. 30, 2011 FreeAgent10	Topic: Bats Discussion: Broken Ultra 2 Houston, Tx. Saturday noon, about 65 degrees. A woman who plays in the league swings an Ultra 2, which she had approximately 2 months(She removed it from the wrap). Hits a 44/375 ball and it breaks completely just above her hands. She has the handle in her hand and the rest goes flying. Personally, I love the Utlra 2 but that was not good advertising for it. I have seen many men swing and break one, usually on or near the sweet spot, but have never seen one break apart like this one. Anyone else ever seen one break like this? Lot of money for a 2 month old bat and broken by a woman. Guess, the guys just aren't strong enough to break them like this. lol

Dec. 30, 2010 FreeAgent10	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a Team goblue. Where in Texas are you. Will help to know the area. Several 50/55 teams in Houston if your around here. Happy New Years
Dec. 23, 2010 FreeAgent10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: February Tournament of Champions Polk County Merry Christmas Capt. Kirk. Check the Texashalfcentury.com website. Bourne is now in Georgetown on Aug. 25 to 28. No one was going back to Boerne again that I know of. Enjoy the holidays. GT
Dec. 20, 2010 FreeAgent10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Then There Were 14! Happy Holidays Larry. Hope your planning on coming to Houston Feb. 19 & 20th for our first tournament. How many teams are you on this year? lol. Need to visit us down here sometime. Merry Christmas
Nov. 30, 2010 FreeAgent10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: THANK YOU Beachbum, I have been doing way too many Patriot Guard details. Pray your sons and all the men/women make it back home safely. Tell them there are plenty of us that are glad they are serving. GT Houston
Nov. 2, 2010 FreeAgent10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 50AAA Thanks CV. Mad dog, Austin Rock is a 50 Major team from Austin(obviously) lol. Very good team and great bunch of guys. Your friend will enjoy playing with them.
Oct. 27, 2010 FreeAgent10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 50AAA Houston Free Agents would like to congratulate the Agway Bandits on their winning the 50AAA division in Phoenix. It was great to play you and thought you had a very classy team. Congrats to Wolfpack on taking second. We had a great game(7 to 6) and also felt you had a class team.Felt all the teams in this bracket were super and the kind of teams we enjoy playing. I'd also like to give a special thanks to Austin Relentless and Carlito's. Thanks for your support and encouragement. Our team really appreciated it much more then we can say. Never a doubt we have class teams in Texas. Hope to see both and more at our earlybird tournament in Pasadena in Feb. Always a fun one. PS A special thanks to the field crews for their work on the fields and to the TD's who worked so hard to make this a successful tournament. GT
Aug. 31, 2010 FreeAgent10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SSUSA IN BOERNE Dog, that was a very nice message you put out. Yes, meeting you guys and playing you was fun. Maybe I didn't explain my thoughts as well as I should have. For the record, we complained about playing you before the first game, after we won it and before the second game. We paid to play any of the other 7 50 AAA teams in this bracket. Teams we don't get to play most of the year. We were cheated out of that opportunity. We paid for rooms, traveled there and played a 40/45 y/o team. Thats not what we paid for. Being put into the losers bracket for whatever reason was wrong just because another 50 AAA team was not the team that put us there. In CLute, we were put into a losers bracket due to playing a combination Major/MajorPlus team. We just want to play teams in our division. Playing you in pool play was fine, not in the elimination round and that was my point I meant to make. Be glad to play you guys in pool play anytime, it was fun. According to the score card you submitted, you have 14 guys listed, not 13. So someone did play in the second game that did not play in the first game. Does the number 12 mean anything? Anyways, I think we've made our point to SSUSA that we and other teams were not happy with this tournament. And yes, we waited many hours to play due to not enough fields. Good luck in your future games. My final say on this matter. GT
Aug. 30, 2010 FreeAgent10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SSUSA IN BOERNE Wasn't my bubble you guys almost busted. Maybe you should talk to your team, since it was them that told me they couldn't make the earlier game. Now, you guys are 40 y/o team, using Ultra 2's. Why should we play a 40 y/o team period? Pool game is fine, but not in the elimination round. Yes, we were up on that field with the soft infield, but when we changed to the rock hard infield, your balls were taking off as I am sure my third baseman can attest to. If that is sour grapes, so be it, but we didn't pay to play a 40 y/o team. Its bad enough, we have to play against Major/ Major Plus teams at times. Larry, I had problems getting on the board and headquarters had to change my name to get me back on. Its still me. Be happy you missed this one. #6, I have sent out info on that one but will again. Should be a good one for practice for Phoenix. PS JBT. We didn't care about home runs. Thats for the big dogs. It was those rockets your team hit with ultra 2's that bother us. Home runs don't hurt anyone, but that line drive that I caught at my face would have. I guess thats sour grapes also.
Aug. 30, 2010 FreeAgent10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SSUSA IN BOERNE #6, I tried to respond but had to get the home office to reset me. As for Boerne, well, what can you say about a bad tournament. 50AAA playing a 40's team(twice) and them using Ultra 2's. Lucky to beat them in the pool game, but they showed up with some different faces later. Losers bracket due to playing a 40's team. They could/should have been with the been placed with those Major/Major Plus teams. Not enough fields, especially with one not having lights, too many teams for that small a complex and , enough about that. Boerne is not on our list for any other year. As for those teams playing so many games in one day, that, to copy a famous General, "NUTS. Hope to see most of you at other local tournaments especially mine on Oct. 9th at Kipper Mease, Pasadena. Good luck to all for those going to Phoenix. GT Houston
