| April 1 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Recommended rules changes from Presidents coucil on fitness A good friend of mine in Washington DC is on President Bush's council for fitness. What he is telling me is that they have noticed the explosive growth in Senior softball and they are going to recommend changes to the game in order to increase the fitness of seniors across the board. Their recommendations which will be sent to the various organizations will include the following. 1.) Increase the length of bases to 80 feet acroos all skill levels and age groups. 2.) Elimination of the courtesy runner in order to promote cardiovascular health benefits to all seniors. From what I'm being told funding could be withheld if these changes aren't adopted by the end of the year, the Bush administration feels this will cement their legacy. |

Will bring about more heart attacks, and in the long run more complaints than ever. Bush couldn't even throw a ball well the other day, sure it was ceremonial so what. He'll be gone shortly and another, for better or worse. Maybe they could rename it weapon of massive base running. sorry Joe, that is a laugh. Happy fools day. |

My suggestion is that it not be John Ashcroft as he's the only man (that I'm aware of) to lose an election to a corpse. Taits: I saw on ESPN the replays of all of the presidents that threw out the 'first pitch' and GWB looked the best (5-6 years ago). FDR was among the worst... JFK looked fairly athletic as well. Truman, Clinton and elder Bush were the only leftists that I saw... this began with WHT in 1910. BW |
| April 1 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Recommended rules changes from Presidents coucil on fitness Hey Joe, How you doin'? I hope well. Not much leaves me speechless but the President's Council for Fitness wants to weigh in on Senior Softball? I say we got it under control, thank you very much and I'm sure they can find more responsible ways to help/serve us, all of us. Or maybe they can't/don't want to and that's why they want to get into OUR stuff. |
| April 1 wagon487 Men's 55 578 posts | Recommended rules changes from Presidents coucil on fitness I'm calling BS. And I feel bad for the people that fell for it. |
| April 1 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Recommended rules changes from Presidents coucil on fitness do you really feel that anyone fell for this? If you do, I feel badly for you. BW |

| April 2 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Recommended rules changes from Presidents coucil on fitness Hey Guys, Call me an April fool but I got a chance to say hi to a friend and make an important comment. Not a bad trade, from here. |
| April 2 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Recommended rules changes from Presidents coucil on fitness First off I want to apoligize if I offended anyone, I was attempting to interject a little humor, probably a lesson learned on my end, I had someone at work yesterday tell me that Mr. Lyon was trying to reach me and when I dialed the number it was the Las Vegas zoo. Hopefully everyone had a chance to have a well intentioned gag played on them, when done properly lightens up the day. |
