Discussion: Senior age limit

I played against the 40 team in Dallas. I play for a 55 Major Plus team. I don't think 40 year old's should be swinging senior bats. We all had to wait until we were 50 to swing them. I got drilled while pitching and had a couple other ones up the middle. So, maybe Tim should get on the mound and face some 40"s hitting at him.

What is the directors phone number for the National side? All this technology and senior softball can’t post this? This is pathetic!!

Discussion: Knee Surgery or replacement

I've had both of my knees replaced. I had my first at 51 and my second at 53. I'm going to be 57 this month. I still get knee pain but i'm able to play and run. I'm not fast but I'm 6'4" and 290lbs, so i never will be. The doctors told me I needed my knees replaced when I was 40. I tried the gel injections, they didn't work for me. I wore MCL unloader braces for years. It got to the point where my teeth hurt from grinding them because of the pain. I would see another doctor and do your research on replacement knees. I told my doctor that I still was going to play softball so he used the joint that we felt would give me the best chance. It has been a blessing! Your body will tell you when it's time, mine did. Best of luck in your decision! My name is Gerard Blair and I play for RBC.

Discussion: Cape Coral Tournament

Could you please post information for this weekends Cape Coral tournament? Such as entered teams and schedules. I know you're very busy but it's three(3) days until the start of the tournament. I understand you've given the managers the teams and times but how about the rest of the members. Thank you.

I agree Manny! Once the tournament starts , is too much to ask to have the brackets updated online? It can’t too much time! You have great tournaments that are run very well, but your bracket updates during and even after tournaments is subpar!

I understand that Team Impact 55 major filed an appeal concerning Miami Powers roster. What was the determination on the appeal that Miami Power had too many Major Plus players on their team and that their shortstop was only 53? Also, why didn't teams have to sign in for this tournament?

I played for Team USA two and three years ago, if you're who I think you are...Didn't you quit Team USA in the middle of a tournament to play for somebody else?

If you played for Team USA last year you can't play AAA, Team USA was Major Plus.

Discussion: Total Knee Replacement

Congratulations on how well you are doing! I've had both of my knees replaced, one at 50 the other at 54. I play Major Plus. The first time you try to run is scary. My quad muscles had a hard time firing causing me to face plant out of the box. Don't push yourself too hard but have trust in the work you,your doctors and PT. Best of luck in the future!

Discussion: Eastern Results from Raleigh

By the way, why did Mid-Atlantic 40's not play on Friday as all the other teams were required to do. Is this why they didn't get their required 5 games causing the mixed 40's/50's schedule? Or were they just showed favoritism?

Florida Automated Shade was eliminated by Mid-Atlantic 40's after Mid-Atlantic had already lost two games. Superior 40's eliminated Team Elite. I don't see how playing three games back to back to back was considered kosher in the winners bracket. I congratulate AB Contracting for winning. They are a very good team. I do however disagree with the format of your tournament and look forward to hopefully whomever made these decisions to be replaced for next year!

I would still like an answer to why 40 year olds were playing against 50 year olds? Some of the 50 teams never played against 40's while we played 3 of 5 games against 40's. Mid-Atlantic 40's had 3 losses in a double-elimination tournament.
