| Sept. 2, 2009 Airbosn Men's 70 329 posts | Safety in Softball (A little humor) First. You should eliminate the hazard entirely. Bat from a tee, lol Second. You need to add some type of a safeguarding technology. Shields, barriers, or isolate and keep the pitcher out of harms way. Like in the dugout...or procure a plasma shield from the Enterprise. LOL Third. You need to use warning signs or labels. Maybe place a few around the mound, "Do not hit the pitcher". The signs will work just like stop sign on streets. Fourth. Train and instruct the pitcher on how to effectively deal with hazards that exist. Use the glove,( I was always wondering why I had one, back up, use the back of the box to pitch from, breakdown in a defense posture, etc. Finally, as someone said a while back, “Armor Up”, or to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) as necessary or needed, such as face mask, shin guards, mouth piece, etc. Hockey equipment is not bad. One finally idea...move the bases to 70 feet and mound to 60 feet with 10 foot box. I know I have to much time on my hand. I should be hitting off the tee to sharpen my marksmenship skills...LOL |

| Sept. 3, 2009 Airbosn Men's 70 329 posts | Bruce, As a special goverment employee (SGE) for OSHA conducting audits I would not want them around the playing field or inspecting equipment...Hell, we would never get to play. LOL. See in P'cola |
| Sept. 3, 2009 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Len, I won't be in Pensacola. Our 60 team will be playing in Vegas that weekend. Good luck there. |
| Sept. 4, 2009 DoubleL10 Men's 70 907 posts | Len, Will you guys be playing 60 and 65 in Pensacola? Bill told us y'all were dividing up for next year?? See you there. Larry Lopez #10, Oklahoma Turf Pro |
| Sept. 4, 2009 Airbosn Men's 70 329 posts | Larry, since 7 05 8 of us are in the 65 bracket and Bill is now in the that rare air we will play the Winternational as a 65 year old team. Don't know what the team name will be but I vote for the "Rockin Oldies". |
