| July 25, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Major Plus I agree with some communication and planning we should be able to make this work. FYI I left Norm a message. Thanks, Dave |
| July 25, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 50 Major Plus First thing I need from all Major + teams wanting to participate is contact names, email address, and phone numbers. We can even do a conference call which I can arrange. Please email them to me at davidquiroz37@gmail.com Any questions call me at 602-885-7550. I think if we communicate and agree to certain tourneys we can have some fun and really be able to compete. Hope this works. I'm willing to put in the work to make it happen. Dave Quiroz |
| July 25, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Major Plus Hey Mario, I agree. Nothing wrong with the rules. We just all want to play in tourneys that have more teams to play against. I know we'd all like to play more against the best competition. We'd enjoy playing against you guys more often as your squad is definitely one of the best of the best. I'd appreciate getting the contact info for your team to include in a 50 major+ managers document that I'll share with all teams. Hopefully through communication we can coordinate better attendance by major + teams. That's the goal..... |
| July 23, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 50 Major Plus In the spirit of fixing 50 Major +....... We (all 50 major+ teams) should all really try and get a meeting scheduled in Vegas at the world tourney and share contact info and ideas and maybe even commit to certain tournaments for 2014 so that we could all financially, and time off work, plan for them. I like the dialogue on how to improve the division, I think if we were all playing in tourneys that were well attended then there wouldn't be any problems. So maybe communication and planning is more of a key to solve the major + issue. Lets all get together and commit to playing together in different locations so that we all share the expenses throughout the year. Would the Northern Cal teams agree to a trip to SoCal, or AZ, or Vegas if we would have a 6 team turnout? I think if you guys would do that AZ Elite would also plan on being in Nor Cal, Vegas, and So Cal or anywhere else. How about a major + meeting in Vegas? Dave Quiroz Az Elite #37 602-885-7550 davidquiroz37@gmail.com Would all the 50 major + leaders please email me their contact information. I'll get it all into one document and redistribute to everyone. Then maybe we could jump on a conference call as we plan our 2014 schedule. I'm willing to spear head this effort. Let me know your thoughts. Dave |
| July 23, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Major Plus LeeLee, I wish we could have come to your event. The problem this year is that we had players already purchase non-refundable flights to Sacramento. We would have really enjoyed a 6 team battle against the best of the best. We should all really try and get a meeting scheduled in Vegas at the world tourney and share contact info and ideas and maybe even commit to certain tournaments for 2014 so that we could all plan for them. I like the dialogue, I think if we were all playing in tourneys that were well attended then there wouldn't be any problems.

| July 15, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western National 50 Major Plus Arizona Elite will be coming to Sacramento for the western nationals. What other major+ teams will be there? We sure hope there's a good representation from the west coast. See you on the fields soon. Dave Quiroz AZ Elite #37 |
| July 8, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Cal Cup & Western Nationals Can someone send me the Cal Cup info please? AZ Elite davidquiroz37@gmail.com 602-885-7550 Thanks! |
| July 1, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Major Plus Hi guys, I wanted to point out a few things.... 1. AZ Elite has 5 - 55 yrs old guys playing on our team, most importantly we're all really good friends regardless of age, and many of us have played together for many years, even when we were younger. We want to stay together and keep playing. I'll never agree with breaking up teams. 2. Marv talked about a great game between AZ Elite and Nazzareno Electric, 2 good teams, the only thing missing from that was the wind was blowing in really hard so not many HR's were hit. Nazzareno won a good game and congratulations to them are due! 3. Nazarreno is a great team as are the other Major + teams. We look forward to playing against them at every opportunity. 4. BUT...in ours and NW Legends case it's very hard and expensive to travel and be able to play against these great teams. I wish we could figure that out short of having a huge cash windfall come our way. in the spirit of sharing coaches info here is mine for AZ Elite; Arizona Elite David Quiroz davidquiroz37@gmail.com cell - 602-885-7550 Have a great day everyone.

| June 27, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: San Clemente 7/12,13,14/2013 AZ Elite will be there. Looking forward to the tourney and the weather in San Clemente. Marv give us some time off to enjoy the beach...... |
| June 27, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Major Plus Tim, Here we go again..... I am not in favor of anyone breaking up a team because they win. We also got bumped up to major + and now we'll compete as best we can in this division. We welcome the challenge and enjoy competing against the best. If we win we win, if we lose we lose. We'll play the best we can and let the chips fall. We all have a softball sickness and truthfully that's why we all still play after all of these years. My brothers I play with on AZ Elite are the other reason. We'll play anyone, anytime. If we win or lose we'll enjoy the battle. Dave Quiroz AZ Elite #37 |
| June 18, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Cal Cup & Western Nationals AZ Elite is trying. Pretty expensive weekend with flights, rooms, and SS tourney fees. We're hoping NW Legends come down and all the Cal teams are there. I'll be monitoring this thread. |
| May 24, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Catcher's verbal interference Come on guys, really? I NEVER thought I'd agree with Tim but here it is. The ball IS coming in at 7 MPH. If you like it, hit it hard. Or don't. But blaming a catcher, REALLY? Arnie with Rated Athletics will have a full out conversation with you, and every pitch is a great one. Just ask him LOL Sorry, but this IS slow pitch softball |
| May 22, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Results of the SCSSA Spring Shootout Weather WAS GREAT. We enjoy coming to California and playing against better competition than we can find in AZ. I hope more teams come out to French Valley, we'll be there! |
| May 22, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Southwest Championships, Vegas AZ Elite won the 50 Major+ |
| May 20, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Thanks to Smith Electric and staff in Prescott Kenny, Glad to hear all turned out well. Praise God! Dave Az Elite 37 |
| May 6, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WHAT IS IT? It's a sickness!! We got it bad...... |
| May 3, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Sponsor looking to finance an "established" Men's club This is Dave with AZ Elite. I have to add a few comments. First of all I think we have one of the best if not the best sponsor, Gil Palomo. What makes him the best? He really cares about the team, he does his very best to financially support us in a very tough economy. He is at every one of our games and loves the way we play. We still give it everything we have. Our infielders are diving for balls and throwing out base runners. Our outfielders play hard and give it everything they have. Our pitcher who is all of about 5'9" is a stud up the middle and never backs down from balls being hit up the middle. Out team and players have never been for sale. We've been offered as a team to join others and drop some of our players for more or better sponsorship, we said no. We've had individuals within our team offered money to move over to other teams, they've said no. WHY? because we have a great bunch of guys who do play old school softball. We have each others backs and truly care about each other. Nobody on our team claims that we have the best team or the best players. BUT as a whole we're pretty darn good and love to compete against the very best. We don't always win but we do always battle. This game is a sickness, we all have it really bad. So we go battle during the day against whoever is put in front of us, then we go eat, hangout and make fun of each other at night. I love my teammates/brothers. That's the way it should be IMHO. That in my opinion is old school softball, doesn't mean I'm right just means that's what I think...... I hope you're all having a great day and look forward to the next tourney.

| April 16, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Championships, Vegas Hi Tim, We could possibly be interested in the hall of fame event if we have enough notice. We just want to play and are certainly limited in the events that are close to AZ. We also have limited funds. We can't even play in our own AZ tourneys unless we agree to exhibitions, which we have to to get in any games at all. We just want to play and compete against the best, if we get our butts handed to us oh well...... We'll try and be better the next time. |
| April 13, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: Bats Discussion: P413 revisited This is Dave with AZ Elite. We'd love to try the bat if possible.... |
| April 11, 2013 Malo37 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: place best hitters last strategy I agree that your last 2 hitters are very important. Our "lowriders" are awesome and they're job is to roll it over to the top. I've always believed that you bat your best hitters at the top just so they get more at bats. But that's just me...... |
