Posted	Discussion

Looking to try the senior circuit in a few tourneys. Thought I would check them out. Any tournaments in the Bama area. I'm used to ASA and would love to play with 1.20 bats.

May 25, 2008 boanerges Men's 50 3 posts	Steve, I'll call this weekend. Thanks.

There is a reason Bonds, Maguire etc, used the roids to beef up. Strength puts the balls out. The research on slow pitch softball power and bench work is all over the internet.
June 25, 2008 southpaw Men's 60 648 posts	Hey Boanerges, did not know if you had found a team. If you are still interested, please call 205-647-2881. Thanks

June 26, 2008 southpaw Men's 60 648 posts	Am I missing something or what? Here is a new guy, hoping to get into Senior softball and help grow the game we love. Some, though, just have to make foolish and disparraging remarks. Obviously, he has not been back on the site and why should he? Just to be insulted again. The result, I needed a player, but have not heard from him. Hopefully, he fould a team closer to his home in south Alabama.
