| Feb. 10, 2013 Michigan Vet | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Looking for a 60+ team in Michigan/Ohio Area My 60+ team (US Utilities) folded this winter. I am now looking for a new tournament team. I am 62, left handed, pitch, play first or catch. Played for Pinnacle/Mike Valerio in my 50's. Willing to travel and help a team anyway I can. Let me know if you want anymore info. Thanks |
| July 27, 2012 Michigan Vet | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Great Lakes Regional Ho, you are correct, just got revised schedule and things were set right. three game prelim to a double elimination tourny, Nice job SPA!! |
| July 26, 2012 Michigan Vet | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Great Lakes Regional I know this is the SSUSA board but I would like your guys opinion. We are playing in the SPA Great Lakes Tournament next weekend. We are playing 60 AAA with only 3 teams. We play 2 prelim games Friday then one more Prelim game Saturday morning. Then Saturday afternoon we play a SINGLE ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT. So if you lose the first game you will have only played 4 games in a 5 game minimum tournament. We are playing at Pacesetter Park in Sylavania, Ohio (a grear complex with 8 fields). Just wondering what you guys think of a single elimination tournament for a Regional (50 AAA with 6 teams is also a single elimination tournament). Thanks |
| June 1, 2012 Michigan Vet | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For Those Who Play in the Winter States Nancy, I live in Michigan and starting in January a bunch of us hit in a Soccer Dome in Wixom. It is a full field dome with astro turf and alot of room. We do not use real softballs we use a softer version. We do not play games but it keeps us in softball shape. |
| May 24, 2012 Michigan Vet | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Bobby Chapp memorial This tournament was never on this site, it was on MIUSSSA.com. You must remember when Mike Dembecki runs a tournament you never know what your going to get. And the results are still not up! Like daid above, all I know is 50 AAA K Sheeran 55 Major/AAA Mastercraft 60 major Michigan Express |
| May 21, 2012 Michigan Vet | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Bobby Chapp memorial All I kmow is K Sheeran/Perlivou Dentist won the 50 AAA and Mastercraft AAA won the 55 Major. Both were one game knockout tournaments after playing 3 preliminary games |
| May 9, 2012 Michigan Vet | Topic: Bats Discussion: White Combats Just got one from Evil Sports (Anaconda) yesterday. Took it to game took 3 swings in practice and the knob broke off. Bobby you want bat back!! |
| May 1, 2012 Michigan Vet | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Looking for Yellow MM Senior Gear Looking to buy a 28 oz yellow MM Senior bat. Anybody got any ideas where to look? |
| Dec. 21, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Teams 2011 The K. Sheeran team out of Michigan was one of the best teams I saw in AAA all year. Great defence, outstanding speed and hitting thru out the lineup. |
| Sept. 18, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Kensington Valley Senior Softball League (Michigan) What bats are you allowing in the League? Are you allowing Senior bats? This will make a big difference in getting people to play. I play in Can-Am 55+ League on Tues & Thurs morning. This is a real good league with 10 teams, 7 can beat any team on any day. (Windsor Chiefs, Bench Pub/Livonia, Oak Park, Line Drive/Detroit, Pet Supply/Warren, Canerbury/Livonia and BK Realty/Taylor are the good teams). Qe use Senior bats. |
| Sept. 3, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WELL THEN, WHAT ABOUT 60'S AAA; WHO's THE BEST? Why do the teams from the East ALWAYS have to go out west? Why dont the west teams go East occasionaly. It cost the same to go either way! JMO |
| Aug. 30, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Who is the best 50 AAA right now in SSUSA? K Sheeran/Polyviou Dental out of Detroit area is avery good 50 AAA team. They won the Northern Regionals pretty handly. They have a very fast outfield and a good infield. Dont hit alot of HR's but will easily score 20 runs a game. Would give anyone in the country a run for their money! |
| July 16, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Poll I do not think you would get a very good turnout using alumilum bats. The majority of Seniors have composite senior bats and like them alot. If they are like me, I dont even own an aluminum bat! I live in Michigan and I wouldnt go. |
| June 15, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Option to withdraw???? Bruce, We were going to play in the Buckeye Classic Over 55 last weekend. 2 weeks before the tournament 3 guys decided not to go. Our Manager caleed the tournament Director and explained the situation. His comment was "We are not SSUSA, your check will be in the mail tomorrow". Manager got his refund back whithin 4 days! That isx how things should be run!!!! |
| June 1, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: Bats Discussion: Best bp bat????? The two piece GBA bat is my batting practice bat. It is holding up very well, but still a little stiff with about 300 swings on it! |
| May 23, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Lansing Tourney Results? K Sheeran won the 50 AAA beating Kalamazoo merchants 2 games to o in round robin |
| April 23, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Reebock Legend and GBA Review Well it finally got warm in Michigan, 70 degrees but windy. Went down to the local school and set up my just bought batting tee. Hit my 28 oz balanced reebock Legend and my 28 oz balanced GBA (2 piece). The GBA seems a little heavier but its balance point is 13.75 inches from endcap. The Reebocks balance point is 14.5 inches fron endcap. This might be the reason it feels heavier. Used Worth Gold Dot balls (I think they are 375/40 but not sure). This is the ball USSSA used last year in tournaments. Well let me say it took awile to get used to hitting off a tee, I finally found the right height for me. Winds were high going from right to left. I am 60 year old 6 ft 235 lb lefty. GBA (balanced) This bat has maybe 150 swings on it (used in Florida). Bat seems very solid but not alot of flex. Hit many good line drives but could not get up in air. Line drives were lazers. Th farthest I hit a ball was 290. Bat needs more breakin time I think to get to its full potential. Bat looks good, no cracks, no paint chipping just looks like its brand new. Reebock Legend (balanced) This bat has maybe 120 swings on it (again used in Florida). What a difference!! Bat hits LAZERS and Great distance, hit a couple 340 and 330. Also hit 4 about 300 - 310. Bat has a great feel with great POP. Bat looks great just dirt on barrel. No stress cracks or paint chips. I think this bat is my new gamer. In conclusion the Reebock is good to go after about 150 swins, The GBA needs much more break in time but is a good solid bat |
| April 13, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Playing on 2 teams same age group Can you play on 2 teams in the same age group but different divisions? For example can you play for a 50+ major team and a 50+ major + team at the same time? A vfriend of mine is curious! |
| March 24, 2011 Michigan Vet | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 55 n older Jim Hanna now has his own senior team. It is called Line Drive or Georges Bulldogs. They play 50 major+. Also play against Jim in a morning 55+ league in Detroit area. Ed says he remebers playing with you in Traverse City. |
