Aug. 29, 2026 donniebaseball	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: 70AAA Players needed We have found one player from California but we still are looking for 1 more outfielder. They must be a border state player but it could be someone who is 69. Hoping someone will take a chance with us Alaska folks.
Aug. 26, 2026 donniebaseball	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: 70AAA Players needed Team Alaska AAA 70's is in need of two outfielders for the upcoming Las Vegas World Tournament. We have recently lost two of our players due to season ending injuries. Our border states are Washington, Oregon, Western Canada, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and Hawaii. We also are carrying only one out of region player so we could add someone from west of the Mississippi. Another plus is that we currently only have one 69 year old player so we can add two more. Many people view Alaska as not being strong softball teams due to our short season. That thought cannot be further from the truth. We have had very good success and usually play 4/5 SSUSA tournaments each season. Hopefully someone who knows us may be available and interested in joining us. I can be reached at 907-230-6698 or a response to this request. Thanks for looking. Donnie Brooks
May 19, 2026 donniebaseball	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rock-N-Reno: Centennial Park in Carson City It doesn't sound severe because you are directing the tournament and not participating in it. The outfields on those two fields are TERRIBLE and that is something that they cannot fix in the amount of time that they have. I am a returning team and I am sure a lot of the others feel the same way, those fields will not be safe to play on.
May 13, 2026 donniebaseball	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Reno Tournament field assignments Wondering why the 60AAA teams are back in Carson City this year? We played there last year and thought that there should be some kind of rotation where all levels move around year by year.
March 27, 2026 donniebaseball	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: 70AAA Players needed Alaska Kings is looking for 2-3 players at the 70's AAA level who would like to join us for upcoming tournaments. Our border states are Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Western Canada, North Dakota and Minnesota. We play 6-7 tournaments a year and are in need of players. Please contact Donnie Brooks at 907-230-6698 or reply here. Thanks.
Feb. 19, 2026 donniebaseball	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: St George 26 Checking to see if you are still available for the St George Tournament in March? We are a new 70's team that has aged up for this year. The team has been around for the last 15 years or so but as we get older, our numbers get smaller. We are an Alaskan based team but Idaho is one of our border states so you would be a good addition to the squad. My name is Donnie. If you are interested, give me a text or call at 907-230-6698.
Feb. 18, 2026 donniebaseball	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Spring WorldsSt George What state are you based out of?
March 30, 2023 donniebaseball	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Short notice for a couple of players for 65AAA team for April Vegas Understand it is late but Team 907, a 65 AAA team primarily from Alaska is in need of 2 additional players for the upcoming Vegas tournament. Please contact Donnie Brooks at 907-230-6698 if you are interested in joining us. Thanks for the consideration.
March 30, 2023 donniebaseball	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: want to play las vegas You were supposed to play with the Alaska 65 AAA team in St. George until it got rained out. I am taking over the team for a while as our manager has some scheduling conflicts going on. We could use another player for Vegas as we currently only have 11 players who can make it there. Please contact me at 907-230-6698 if you are interested. We appreciate the consideration. Donnie Brooks
Dec. 22, 2021 donniebaseball	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: northwest 65 aaa team looking for players Myself and another Alaskan played last season with the Bulldogs out of Oregon at the 65 Major level. This team has disbanded and we have not found a place to play as of yet. We would like to talk to you about the possibility of joining your group. I currently play and manage the Tri State Kings 60+ major team and we play in several TOC tournaments so we would be available to join the Yeahoos at those tournaments. Please contact me if you have any interest. It can be hard to find teams to play on being from Alaska but I guarantee that we can play the game. Donnie - 907-230-6698
Jan. 19, 2021 donniebaseball	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Borrowing players? Thanks Dave. I probably missed it but I saw the rule was enacted in May of 2020. Does it carry over this 2021 season?
Jan. 19, 2021 donniebaseball	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Borrowing players? I thought that last year because of COVID-19, SSUSA implemented a rule that a team could pick up to 2 players for a tournament if their team was not playing in the tournament and that the players were not forced to use their transfer exemption. Am I just having a wishful idea or did this exist and if so, is the rule still in place for this season. I have a team that would like to play in the March tournament in Mesquite but can only get 10 of my players to go and would feel better having a couple more players in an early in the season tournament. Any help would be appreciated.
Sept. 16, 2019 donniebaseball	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: 60 AAA Players needed Thanks Nancy - We can draw from Western Canada, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Minnesota and North Dakota so if anyone from these areas want to play, we would love some help. Lots of playing time.
Sept. 16, 2019 donniebaseball	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: 60 AAA Players needed Come on guys, there has got to be a couple of guys from our region that want to join us for softball in Las Vegas. We are a very good team that has hit a low spot with injuries and since we are such a small populated state, we don't have a lot to draw from. Somebody please step up and help us out.
Sept. 14, 2019 donniebaseball	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: 60 AAA Players needed Understand that it is last minute but My Alaska Kings 60+ AAA team is in need of a couple of players for next weekends Las Vegas Tournament. Because of injuries, we need an outfielder and a left side of the infield guy. We have 11 but one of those is gimpy and recovering from an injury. Players would have to come from our section; Washington, Oregon etc. Please contact me at 907-230-6698 if you can help me.
April 12, 2018 donniebaseball	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: New Senior Tournament in Alaska We have come to find out that it takes a lot of preparation to start a new tournament - especially one in ALASKA. We have 7 teams signed up for this inaugural tournament and would love to have more join us. As of today, we have three 50AAA teams, three 55AAA teams and one 60AAA team. We have changed our status from a qualifier to a RECREATIONAL Tournament as we have a lot more interest right now from individuals than from teams. So, if any individual player would like to join us, and we will still happily accept teams,please contact me - Donnie Brooks at (907) 230-6698 or reply here and we will make sure we get you on a roster. This is a great way to get ALASKA off your bucket list and play some good softball at the same time. COME JOIN US.

Sept. 25, 2017 donniebaseball	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sun Field s at Big League Dreams Just finished playing 60 AAA at Big League Dreams on Sunday. At the 8:00am game, the sun was so bad that there was 11 strikeouts recorded. Does anyone have ideas on glasses, etc that could help prevent this again/ The UIC would not allow the pitcher to move right or left to help with the vision. We are playing 50's this weekend and don't want to go thru that again. Any ideas would be appreciated.
