| Feb. 3, 2021 Born_In_44 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Pool Players for tournaments in CA, AZ, Nevada & Utah I have been playing in Rhode Island for teams such as "NASSA" Flooring which won the 2006 National Championship In Fort Myers. I have also played for another RI team named the "Cozy Grill". I still play but am now 76. Individual players who could vouch for me would be your Hall of Famer "Jackie" Robinson as well as a member of "Fairway Ford" named Robert "Duf" Sfreddo. I am aware that it is usually full teams that enter a tournament. That said, I am wondering if there is ever any opportunity to show up individually at a tournament and sign up as a pool player who could be used by any team needing a player for any reason. I am currently in California, will be in Florida for the month of April and will then return home to RI thereafter thru next winter. Can anyone answer this question for me and offer any tips that I can use? Thanks, guys, for any info you can send my way. Mike |
| Aug. 14, 2012 Born_In_44 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Update on Steven Simmons Yesterday, I received the awful news of Steve's accident. Steve and I graduated from Pilgrim High School together in 1963. A current teammate of mine was also a classmate. A few years ago at a tournament, picture of the three of us together was taken and published in the Senior Softball USA's newspaper. We in Rhode Island who have known Steve for whatever the reason, are devastated by the bad news. He was here to administer our tournament as well as to be with family. He has done that annually for the past five years. All I can say is that Steve has been one of the really nice guys that I've known during my lifetime ... just a genuine, real man. I am so very sorry that this has happened to him. If he were able to communicate at the moment, I'm sure that his first concern would have been his grandchildren ... who were with him. I have enlisted everybody I know to take a minute to say a prayer in his behalf and I've received a bunch of promises. I've been praying for him ... I'm sure you are, too. Keep fighting, Steve. Your family and friends are with you. |
