| Oct. 19, 2017 Smarkley3 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Leagues in So Cal that allow more than single wall bats This is a great discussion but, I still have no senior league ball to play with senior composites. Who in So Cal would want to play ina league that plays week days with senior rules and bats? I think I can get a local LD to help set it up, possible in Santa Fed Springs if we can put at least four teams together. |

The ball does not have the same COR so when hit by one does not cause as serious injury. I been hit in the head by both and you can fell the difference. Wear a mask and/or other gear if you cant handle the bounce. I already have a 30 to 40 minute drive to play in Long Beach. Palm Springs and Perris are way farther than I want to drive. Yesterday I played in a Co ED 50+ in Pico Rivers at 9:00 AM the hurried over to BLD Wests Covina ( ASA Composite bats w BLD Balls, LOL) only to find the other team forfeited. At this point I am worried if I am gonna play at all. The BLD League is great when we play but, BLD cancels many games because the fields are need for "paying customers. Several people have worked to try to start other senior league in Whittier and/or Santa Fe Springs but, there are a number of free (BLD WestCo) and informal games, practices and OVL that seem to hinder getting enough teams to play, as they would have to shell some cash to play in the new league or leagues. |
| Oct. 10, 2017 Smarkley3 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Leagues in So Cal that allow more than single wall bats I was real happy when I turned 49 and could play senior softball with people more my own age. I just turned 59 and play in three leagues. Two are single wall bats only using 44 COR balls, the other allows ASA bats but does not play constantly as it at BLD West Covina and they cancel games often and have black out periods when they have money making events. I do not understand the need to use crappy single wall bats, why not be safer and use 52 Cor? I find most players, umpires LDs and city's dont understand that a bat doesn't hurt a player, the ball does. I am sick of playing single wall, why doesn't SUSSA organize local leagues for guys like me that cant travel and play tournament ball? Frustrated in Whittier, who is in the same situation and what can we do about it? |
