June 1, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: players I've been told I can't play with my 50 AAA team any more since I moved to 65 M+ last year. The 15 year age difference made no difference. I was able to play with them when I was 60 Major. I, too, would like clarification. Thanks, Larry Lopez.
May 25, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Atlantic Coast Championships 60s Jose, You are correct - the Guru team has broken up. I'm still playing 65s, but I'm playing with a team of old friends from CA since there are not 65 Major Plus teams around here. Who are you playing with now? Double L 10.
May 24, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: retinal detachment recovery time Frankie, I had lasik in both eyes about 2 years prior to the RD. I even asked my surgeon at one of my follow-up visits if the lasik could have caused or contributed to the detachment. She did not think so. Hope your recovery goes well and also hope to see you later this year! LL
May 24, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: retinal detachment recovery time Frankie, I had a detached retina (right eye) in late-2002. Mine was so badly detached, the surgeon had to install a schleral buckle around it so it would heal properly. I was told I very nearly lost the sight in that eye. Mine started on the way to work early one morning and progressed like someone was pulling a shade from the right side of my face over the upper part of my eye. By the time I got to the office, I could barely see out of the eye. I called my opthamologist as soon as his office opened and saw him right away. I had the surgery later that day and had the gas bubble as well. I underwent the same type recovery as you, I think it was 2 weeks before I could leave the house and even stand out in the yard. I watched a lot of TV when I was told that was OK. I recovered as well as could be expected with the buckle still around my eye. Objects out of my right eye appear longer and skinner than they actually are due to the buckle still being around the middle of the eye. I was "lucky" in that mine occurred in November so it had no affect on my softball other than no BP for a few weeks. Good luck on your recovery!
May 24, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Stop the 3 day tournaments I'm with the guys who like the 3 day tourneys mainly for the reason Harry mentioned. The time off in the afternoons (usually) I can spend with the wife sightseeing or shopping (her favorite)!
May 22, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Atlantic Coast Championships 60s oldnslow, I think you overestimate the 60 Major program. I play on a good team in that class and we do not overpower anyone in our age group. We are an OLD 60 team with 3 guys in the 65s and several who are 65. We base hit and play defense but not as good as you guys. Now, the 60 Major Plus is another thing...
May 22, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Atlantic Coast Championships 60s Billy, at this time my 60 Major team is playing in Dalton and that's it. The 65 Major Plus bunch is not going anywhere East of the Mississippi.
May 22, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Atlantic Coast Championships 60s I saw that the Stahl team is rated Major in the SPA. Knowing SSUSA, I suspect the team will be re-rated pretty quickly for winning a 10-team tourney as pointed out above.
May 21, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rock n Reno Fields Just be glad you aren't playing at Rancho San Rafael. I've played at every complex in Reno and RSR is the worst by far IMO. The "warning track" last year was like trying to move in beach sand. Any play close to the fence was iffy at best.
May 21, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Atlantic Coast Championships 60s Our Guru 65 Major Plus team played Stahl Post 60 last year in Manassas. We played them 3 times and were 0-3 against them. They played great defense and hit enough to beat us each game and we were a pretty good team. I'm surprised it took this long to get moved up to 60 Major! Hope to get a chance to play you guys with my Texas Makules 60 Major team sometime this year!
May 8, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Reno 60 & 65 teams As I understand it from Ed Rose, his 60 team is Rose Enterprises and his 65 team is Florida Thunder.
May 8, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a team in okc ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What Sandman said. Play starts Tuesdays at 6:30PM. We usually play on fields 7 & 9. Bobby, welcome to the Message Board!
May 7, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LOUDOUN Billy, we will not be in either this year. Manassas was on our original schedule but it got replaced by a local tournament in Plano, TX that same weekend. Looking forward to the challenge of playing against you guys with Turn 2.
May 7, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LOUDOUN Donnie, I'll see you guys in Dalton and Vegas. I'm playing 60 Major with the Texas Makules and 65 Major Plus with Omen. Are y'all playing in any other Nationals with the 60s players?

May 6, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LOUDOUN Donnie, where else are y'all playing as a 65 Major Plus team?
May 6, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Reno 60 & 65 teams The Omen team is based around Sacramento. Texas Makules has a lot of Texas Legends 55s guys.
May 6, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Reno 60 & 65 teams Texas Makules 60 Major and Omen 65 Major Plus will be there.
May 2, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Southwest Championships I've played on the 70 foot bases a few tournaments now and I like it both as an outfielder and a runner. The automatic first-to-third for a base runner is not so automatic and it does give outfielders an actual chance to make a throw and perhaps get someone out. 99% of the time, I'll hit the cutoff man but every once in a while a runner gets carried away and I'll have to try to see if the old arm can still get it there in time! As a runner, I have to run hard to get from first to third on most base hits but sometimes I just have to stop at second. I played on the 60 foot bases in the 70s and there was one guy in our league (left-handed) who, if the ball was hit on the ground, you had no chance to get out. If the ball went through the infield, he would be on second. I think I like the 70 foot bases better even at age 65.
April 14, 2012 DoubleL10	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Dover tourney Harry/Donnie, Here's what we see down here in OK/TX; last year as a 65 Major Plus team we were paired against 60 Major and 60 AAA teams. Neither of those groups wanted to play us. In fact, one team forfeited rather than play us. This year, I'm playing 60 Major again since there are no 65 Major Plus teams around here now. Now, from what I've heard, some of the 60 AAA teams are telling the TD at our next tourney - Plano next weekend - that they don't want to play us! BTW, this is SPA. Now, they are going to drop us down into the 55s to play the younger guys. What galls me - from what I've heard - is that some teams are, in effect, telling the TDs who they will and will not play. We did play some 60 AAAs in Georgetown a few weeks ago and, with a 5-run spot they received -we beat a couple of them by ONE run! The games were close and competitive and could have gone either way. It just seems no one wants to play anyone in a higher class unless they are FORCED to -like in the Nationals.
