| Nov. 2, 2010 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Softball Gentleman I and five of my teammates stopped at a Denny's in Myrtle Beach after finishing the SPA Eastern Nationals this past Sunday. I noticed one our our players talking to a couple of men at another table, one much older than the other. They talked for about five minutes and when he returned to our table he told us that was the sponsor of the old Ritch's Superior team and one of his players. He didn't remember their names so I walked over and introduced myself. The sponsor was Coy Honeycutt and the player was Charles Wright. I had met Charles when he played with Hollis but he didn't remember me. You could tell that Mr Honeycutt really enjoyed reliving the games from the late 80's. He seemed like a great guy, too bad we all have to grow old. I enjoyed talking with him and Charles about player and teams from that era. Charles owns a restaurant in Columbus, Ga and "doesn't have time for senior softball". |

| Aug. 22, 2016 Gorilla Boy Men's 50 271 posts | Justin,this is Mike Macenko. I played with your Grandpa's team Ritch's Superior and played against him for a number of years with our Steele's teams. What can I do for you. my email is mike@bigcat844.com... Feel free to email me and we can talk about what ever you want to. I was there the night he was inducted into the USSSA Hall Of Fame. It was a great night when they did that. I could only imagine if your grandpa would have been there. There is no telling how many people and players would have came to see that, and be part of that. He was a very good man with a heart of gold. Get in touch with me and I can help you out with whatever. OK? Mighty Mike Macenko aka: Gorilla Boy |
