| Oct. 21, 2014 ACC | Topic: Women's softball Discussion: Phoenix Nov 14-16, 2014 At my request, "Broadway" above gave me permission to post a review of her play. I am a some-time manager of teams on which she has played. Broadway is an amazing athletic, intelligent 1B woman and shortfielder. I love it when she is playing either of these positions on teams I am managing. Broadway does play other positions well too. Broadway is also a "team player." She is easy to get along with and is always cheerful and enthused for the team's play and her play. She owns her mistakes (a little too self-deprecatingly, IMO) and never criticizes others. I do not think her sense of humor is warped. It's fun! If you sign Broadway, I doubt you will be sorry. |
| Jan. 8, 2014 ACC | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: where are all the pitchers Someone please check my assumptions: ======= Major League Baseball ======= exit speed, well hit baseball = 100 to 120 mph distance to pitcher's mound = 60 feet time to react (conservative estimate) = 60 / 100 * 3600/5280 = 0.41 sec ======= Slow pitch Softball ======= exit speed, well hit softball = 90+ mph distance to pitcher's mound = 50 feet Slow pitch softball time to react = 50/90*3600/5280 = 0.38 sec So far it seems a 50+year old, amateur softball pitcher's reflexes have to be on a par with a 20-something major leaguer's. Given how major league pitchers at times are hit by a line drive, the chances of injury in senior softball seem to be foreseeable. Requiring the masks makes sense to me. |
| Jan. 4, 2014 ACC | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rules Committee Minutes Thank you. I have written nsga.org (Senior Games; email nsga@nsga.org) and the ASA (whose rules are used in some senior events; email info@softball.org), asking them to consider the rule change SSUSA adopted. I hope others might write so all may play safely, fairly and without fear of liability. |
| Jan. 2, 2014 ACC | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rules Committee Minutes Can someone please explain to which senior tournaments SSUSA rules apply? E.g. do they apply to Senior Olympics? Thank you. |
