July 21 MK39 Men's 50 333 posts | SSWS has the Cathredral City Big League Field of Dreams Complex for the Senior Softball World Series. For those who have played in one of these beautiful parks , you already know what i am talking about and for those who have not, you are missing a softball Players Dreak Park. The first session is September 16th - 19th in the 65 - 80 year bracket. The 2nd session is the 50 - 60 age bracket on september 21st-24th. Tournamnet Director is Vicky Oltean at 760-323-8272. All entry forms and other documents can be found at http://www.nascs.org This is a great Senior Softball event and we have been going to it the last 3 years. This event started in 1985 by the late great Ken Maas and will be his 2nd memorial event since his passing. Ken was a true pioneer of Senior Softball and his family is carring this event on in his memeory. Hope to see you there. Mike Kelly Kelly\'s Sports 50 Major Plus |
July 22 DoubleL10 Men's 70 907 posts | Thanks, Mike. I had hoped SSWC might play some games there. It seems like just a short time ago I played there with you, Skip and the rest of the guys and had a great time! Look forward to seeing you there! LL |
July 22 MK39 Men's 50 333 posts | We played there with skip and the boys back in 1998 and i can still see it like it was last week. We were a 45 team playing against 35 year old teams who beat us up pretty good and it was the first time i played agaisnt the mavericks who were a 50 year team and who also beat us up pretty good and let me know that the 50's had some great teams that i would get to know better 4 years down the road. I can still see Greg Garrett launcing one while he was still healthy. The park has incredible atmosphere and i have yet to find a nicer park. Of course Fenway with the green monster is my favorite being a right handed pull hitter with just enough pop to get it over the Green Monster wall in left field. You i remmember hit on the all fields including Yankee Stadium which i think was a little bit more then the 300ft signs said. Here is a link to thebig league dreams web site which shows the fields and all the other goodies like batting cages, inside resteraunt, etc. http://www.bigleaguedreams.com/ Looking forward to seeing you again Larry Lopez as it has been to long.

July 27 salio2k Men's 60 547 posts | My manager tells me that Vicky only has BLFOD for Thusday and Friday. That means that we'll have to play these World's at Demuth. Not looking forward to that. Sal.......55 Major |
July 28 DMac Men's 60 207 posts | Growing up in New York, Mickey Mantle was a god and millions of kids shared the drean of playing center field for the Yankees. Several years ago I got a chance to play at the Field of Dreams and our first game was at Yankee Stadium. As I walked out to right center the feelings I had were incredible and I literally had goosebumps. The leadoff hitter proceeded to smack a knuckling liner which completely ate me up. As I chased after my error, I couldn't help but think of the irony of it all. Despite that "reality check", playing there was a blast. |
