Dbax
Youre correct, your post is ridiculous.
Keep in mind that us old guys need it warm because we have stiff and brittle bones.I just stated that it was not needed when I was playing and quite frankly, a heater wouldn't help many of us the Geezer Division.
But I was there a few days at 8:00am to watch my only friend play and it wasn't that cold but that's just me.
BTW: We've met and spoken a few times :-)
Have a great evening

I played in Phoenix and it was in the 70's, I just find it humorous that teams were using Propane Heaters. I would have roasted in the Dugout, this just gave me my laugh for the day.
THanks

softball4b,
Mike, Even those of us that live in Az still spend $300.00 plus food. Wear and tear on the body just gets more expensive every year.
I live in Prescott and play PSS as do you (not the same level)
its the price we pay for being Elite Athletes :0). I'm playing in Phoenix but probably won't travel to more than 3-4 Tourneys in 2025 due to cost and travel time.

Have a designated SSUSA Microwave and put them in for 2 minutes would be my suggestion (tongue in cheek)

Almost forgot. What infield Position do you normally play? I know they have a Tourney next Wed & Thurs in Perris that I cannot make, so that might be a chance to play.

Larry,
I currently play for Rick and the 75 Olde Dawgs.
Good group of guys and Rick is a good Manager as well.
By all means, call him.

Webbie25 You forgot to mention that it only works with the HSFG (High Speed Frequency Grease). Thats where the big expense is.

Dave: Thanks for the clarification, the player in question has a bad shoulder but can play 1B only and cannot swing a bat.
Thanks

This question may have been asked before, but during a discussion with some managers it came up.
12 man roster, 11 on the field but 1 player can play defense but cannot swing the bat. Is this legal and this player can only play defense ?
Thanks

Discussion: Knee replacement

It seems I need a partial knee replacement, my question is: How many of you have had partial and do you recommend a full knee replacement instead ?
I have one Dr that would prefer full over partial.
I'm 75 and they say a partial will only last 15-20 years, I told him; I doubt that I'll last 15-20 years.
Opinions please.
Thanks

Hey Rick,
This is Tom Townsen.
I know a guy that might be looking to play next week, his name is Ted Roluffs and he plays here in Prescott. Good player and a really good hitter.
I gave him your contact info so he will probably give you a call.

Discussion: What Balls are we using in Phoenix ?

Not trying to stir things up but I haven't played a Tournament since 2018 and was wondering what ball is being used.
I'm playing 75's and couldn't hit it over the fence in 3 hits (except the foul fences).
I hear good and bad about the Baden but I really don't care, just curious.
Thanks

Just an FYI: If you come to Prescott in late October you can come down to Pioneer Park and watch for yourself. We play Mon & Thurs in Senior Softball League @ 9:00 or 10:30.
I played a lot of Tourney ball from 2010-2018 and then had spinal surgery but that's another story.
I played for Base Hawgs 60aa, Bucky's 60aaa, Yavapai 65aa, Duke City Dynamite 70aaa and PDC70aaa out of Colorado.
you can call or text me at 928 277-7251
