April 28, 2009 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Las Vegas May 16th and 17th who's coming Anyone coming to this? I heard that Demolition, and NCI were looking at this along with a local 55 team. A bunch of us in Las Vegas are putting an exhibition team in that's 4. Tournament I believe will be at the Cheyenne fields. Two weeks before Reno this would be a good tuneup. |
April 28, 2009 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Much better tournament in Prescott, Az. Much nicer fields too. Cheyenne has lightpoles in the middle of the outfield. |
April 28, 2009 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Wrong fields your thinking of Lorenzi. |
April 28, 2009 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Nope, it's Cheyenne. Next to the community college. Middle field. |
April 28, 2009 WOW 197 posts | LVSSA used to do a good job but has gone downhill the last few yrs. Poor fields, no maintenance bad umping and bad schedules. No wonder few teams participate. |
April 29, 2009 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Thanks for the encouragement. This is not an LVSSA event it is being run by a friend out of Phoenix who is being kind enough to try and get the residents of Las Vegas some exercise as well as outside teams who might want a weekend in Vegas. It is advertised under the SSUSA umbrella but I believe that is about it. WOW this is not going to be a high turnout we were hoping for 6-8 teams. Like every other community in the United States Las Vegas has a wide variety of seniors. As Dirty so often notes most senior softballers don't play tournaments. We are trying to get some of these seniors some games. As a matter of fact my team has a firefighter who can't travel, and your fellow seniors rehabbing from a wide variety of injuries including hip replacement and cancer. Poor fields and all that is all we have at the moment. WOW and Dave how about just wishing us luck and hope we enjoy ourselves. We deserve a recreational opportunity as much as both of you quite firing pot shots without all the facts. |

May 1, 2009 WOW 197 posts | My apology. Hope you have a sucessful event. My comment about LVSSA still stands!! |
