| June 11, 2017 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Mike "Shark" Memorial Thanks to all who attended Mike's Memorial. What a great crowd. Mike (Shark) asked me to make sure we had a "Wake" whereas we all could say our good-byes together. The slide show was fantastic and Adam and Brittney (youngest son and daughter-in-law) couldn't have done a better job speaking. Mike is up there in the outfield of God's great squad, smiling from ear to ear, for all of his friends and family that have sent him Love. He knows that your heavy hearts are dampened by smiles and laughter in remembrance of All the great times we shared. We'll see him again sometime down the road. Johnny Hose. |
| Dec. 23, 2016 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Fellow player needs help As I am another one of Mikes close friends, I have been with this ordeal from the start. God Bless all of you that have had Mike in your thoughts and prayers. He has some enormous hills to climb but you are making it easier for him. A simple post or thought brings comfort knowing that his softball brothers are thinking of him, especially around this time of year. Happy Holidays to you all. Johnny Hose |
| Dec. 17, 2013 Johnny Hose | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Cisco Arvallo in the hospital in Phoenix Hey Cisco... From ALL your buddies on the Fan Grabber team, get well soon. Senior Softball will be missing a great hitter representing Arizona, until you do. I know your in good hands with Frannie watching over you. |
| July 16, 2013 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: San Clemente SCSSA FOFO We played a best record out of (5) games. The good thing about that is that we get to play all the teams in this five team division. It consisted of Top Gun III, Wongs, Nighthawks, Studs N Duds and Fan Grabbers. The bad part is that there was no championship game. As we came out cold (11-1 loss) to the Nighthawks, we would have loved to see them again. After our first game we followed with two walk-off wins on Saturday and found a cold Double Play and Wongs team on Sunday. Balls were Stotes and we never got to the limit of (5). We had a stretch of (8) innings without a score ????? NEVER seen that before. Dave Dowell would have probably scheduled differently, but Marv and Jerry both went out of their way to make us feel welcome and accomplished that. It was exceptionally fun to see everyone and enjoy the weather. |
| July 15, 2013 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: San Clemente SCSSA Congrats to "The Don" and his Nighthawks in their undefeated tournament in the 55 Division. It's always a joy to get spanked by such a class act and hear Don give me all the excusses why we were'nt beating them. Again, great to see you, Don. Also, George R, Steve I and Glenn I with the "Studs" team... great to see you all well and playing great ball. We also had a great time seeing three other good squads... Top Gun III, Double Play & Wongs. Average temperature a warm 80, here in Phoenix it was a warm 112. GREAT job SCSSA. Johnny Hose, Fan Grabbers 55 |

| Oct. 30, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Action pictures, Phoenix Jackson... Sorry for you not pleasing everyone, 100% of the time... but welcome to the selfish and grumpy part of our sport. I know that things have been tough with the economy and all, but would love to tell your "un-happy e-mailer" how hard you work to prepare THOUSANDS of shots after spending from Dawn to Dusk at ALL of the parks, just in case someone might purchase a picture. This person probably would have spent a whole $5 bucks with you anyway. I'm going to order $10 worth to make up for your loss, Then, I'm going to have a glass of Whine ! See you in Phoenix my friend. Johnny. |
| Oct. 7, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Steve Imlay's Father Passing Steve, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, during your time of sorrow. From all of us on the Fan Grabber squad. Johnny Hose. |
| Oct. 1, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Cheyenne Park for Worlds PS- Hey SSUSA/LVSSA... (Dave) ... just think, now you get to read all the crap about late posting for the scores ! Have fun and Lots of Love, Brother ! Ask Terry about your new Escalade. Johnny. |
| Oct. 1, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Cheyenne Park for Worlds Rightrj1, Thank you for standing up for my thoughts. We all were wondering why WE were selected to have to play there? And, I agree that the upper divisions should NEVER play on fields that have potential to injure innocent people driving their cars on North 5th Street because they can hit a ball 400 feet. Most lower division players cannot do that. I am very good friends with both Dave and Fran, and if he says he had no other option, I beleive him. I feel so adament about this park, that I would rather not play in the tournament if selected to go back. I will have my attorney draw up an "OUT" clause when entering the next Vegas Tournament. Congrats to all the teams that played, especially Conn. Sports and MTC. And, them pesky dudes from Nighthawks (The Don). Great seeing and meeting you guys. And, special thanks to my squad... you guys did good ! Johnny Hose Fan Grabber 55 Softball |
| Aug. 7, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team pictures and action pictures from Colorado Jack, Great shots. I am amazed that you seem to be there for all the special moments. Although not the best outcome for a slide at third, the shot(s) you took when we played (K C Barons vs Fan Grabbers) where their player seperated his shoulder was something else. We all felt terrible for their guy and wish him a speedy recovery. Again, great job and will send you an order. Thanks, Johnny. |
| Aug. 7, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Why do you bother to post pool play games / tournament brackets if you are not going to update Hey Zac7, lighten up. If you knew Dave Dowell like the rest of us, you would know that he has plenty of things to do along with a gravely ill family member. But I guess your a new guy and meant no harm, right? Thanks for understanding. Johnny Hose. |
| Aug. 7, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Why do you bother to post pool play games / tournament brackets if you are not going to update Dave Dowell and Family, In hearing the news, I wish to offer our thoughts and prayers through your tough times, from all of your friends on the Fan Grabber team. You and Fran both need to wind down a little, be there for each other and your family... forget about SSUSA for while. I'm sure Terry and the crew can cover. Johnny. |
| July 29, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: THE NEED FOR SEVEN INNINGS Dennis, I would think that anyone that plays ball in a town that is named after him, could get Sacramento to listen. I too, would love to see seven innings in the brackets for SSUSA. Maybe do away with (9) run innings (in Maj Plus) and that "Stuipid" three game quarantee, where you can play an absolutely meaningless game. I also think that they shorten the games played per day, to make sure all the teams get to Sunday, thus keeping the hotels happy. But, then again, this is just my opinion. Congrats to you and GSF with your accomplishments in Dalton. Johnny. |
| June 27, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Our FRIEND...Action Jack needsw YOU First off, JACK had nothing to do with this post, he has too much class. When I started in senior ball years ago, I brought a new bunch of guys to the scene. Jack took our team picture... great memories. He has been there ever since. With the economy as it is, I know money is tight, but if we don't buy a few pictures now and again, he won't be there. I asked him how RENO was for him and he said he might be able to get a breakfast at Denny's. Coaches, please get with your guys and see what you can do. You players out there, especially those of you that have been kicking butt on the my team lately, get a picture of it. We don't want to lose an ICON like Jack. I know you will feel good about it. Thanks. John, Manager Fan Grabber / AZ Lone Shark Softball |
| June 27, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TEAM Classiications Jaywood and Andy, Thanks for your responses. I know Dave's just waiting til he cools down before responding. With all the stuff he has on his plate, he would be the likely candidate should they do any updating. I've had a few coaches call me and we all agree it's at least 30%. We'll see, huh. Or, we won't. Regards. Johnny. |
| June 26, 2012 Johnny Hose | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TEAM Classiications Staff... is there a reason why you have teams listed on your current ratings list, that are not current and/or no longer in existance? For example, I have two teams on your 50's list that are not in existance... Powerline/ Miken and Fan Grabber 50's. Maybe I'm a little neurotic but, wouldn't you guys want your information on your website to be as precise as possible? I am sure there are no hidden reasons or intentional misrepresentation here, but I look to your site often and would like to know a more realistic view of my competitors. Maybe you could have a list of teams that are currently registered for 2012, you think? I'm sure George has some spare time on his hands, give him the project. Thanks, in advance. John.
