Discussion: What's the call?

Batter hits a short pop up that lands in foul territory and spins back into fair territory before reaching third base bag and before being touched by a defensive player, foul or fair ball?

Discussion: Softball family member needs our help

Update on Rod's wife. She is still unable to stand or walk and has lost her short term memory. I want to reach out to those that have sent thoughts and prayers to Mary and to those that have donated. We have yet to meet our goal in helping Rod and Mary. Please share this with others and perhaps post it on facebook. Your help in any way will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Kenny

Discussion: Softball family member needs our help

I'm reaching out to the softball community to help a former teammate of mine in need. Rod Grubb's wife Mary contracted West Nile Virus over the summer and was put on life support. Although she was able to recover from that she suffered a massive stroke and now requires 24 hour care. Rod is self employed and unable to work as he takes care of Mary. Rod has always been the first to help someone in need and now he needs our help. My wife and I have set up a go fund me account to help with the mounting medical bills, mortgage and general needs. Please pass this on to anyone that may be able to help, if not financially, then in prayer.

Thanks in advance,
Kenny Vaught, current member of Timberworks 65's, and formerly with Nighhawks, Joe Browns All Stars, AZ Rogue and Fangrabbers/Towtime.

Discussion: A fifth rating?

This just in! The NCAA and NBA are going to follow SSUSA's guidelines and will institute the following rules to try to keep an even playing field. The Golden State Warriors will now have to spot 10 points or give an extra player and Alabama's football team will only be able to play their starters in the first and third quarters!

Discussion: Remembering Shark

Cinco de Mayo has special meaning for a lot of people across the country. For me and many other members of our softball family the date is also a reminder of the passing of Mike Ayo, also known as Shark.It will be one year since he lost his battle with cancer. Shark will forever be missed and never forgotten. Continue to rest in peace my friend...
Kenny, former teammate on Fangrabbers, Rogue and Tucson Bandits.

Discussion: Mike "Shark" Memorial

For those that knew Mike, it would be an honor if you could make time to attend his Memorial.For those that did not know Mike, it would be an honor to have you join his friends and family to remember a senior softball family member that left us way to early.Shark was an outfielder for Tow Time, Fan Grabbers, AZ Rogue and most recently, the Tucson Bandits.
Thanks, Kenny

Discussion: Mike"Shark" Ayo Prescott Memorial

I would like to thank Bucky's for participating in our memorial for Mike Ayo. I would also like to thank the players and their families from AZ Legends, AOS, Primetime, Alpha Dawgz and all the other random people that joined us on the field. It was a nice tribute to see close to 100 people remember a friend and team mate.Also, a shout out to the tournament directors for making time for us.

Discussion: Prayers needed

Mike was not only a teammate but a good friend to many. He fought a courageous battle for the last few months and just like on the field, refused to give up until the last out. He had many friends and family with him his last few days, giving him the kind of support he gave others. Mike was there for me and my wife when I was going through my medical problems, willing to do anything and everything for us.
He will be sorely missed, I loved him like a brother. RIP my friend...

On another note, I want to personally thank Johnny "Hose" Amjel for all he has done for Mike. John has earned a new respect from me in a way words can't describe.

On behalf of Mike "Shark" Ayo, I want to thank all of those who contributed to the gofundme account and sent prayers and well wishes Mike's way. Mike received funds from Canada to New York and all places between.Contributions totaled $3250, just shy of our goal of $5000.This will go a long way in helping Mike out.

Discussion: Fellow player needs help

This is Kenny, outfielder for Nighthawks, formerly with Joe Browns and AZ Rogue.I am writing this on behalf of Mike Ayo, a teammate and good friend of mine. Mike has been recently diagnosed with acute kidney failure in both kidneys. He has been hospitalized for almost two weeks and has under gone numerous dialysis treatments in an attempt to "jump start" his kidneys.He has now had surgery to install a permanent port for treatment as his kidneys have not responded to treatment. Mike was there for me when I was having kidney issues, 7 surgeries in 5 years, and also when I almost lost my leg to MRSA. It is my time to be there for him and I am asking my fellow softball family members for help.A go fund me account has been set up to help Mike with his medical bills and to help pay his household bills. The link can be reached at: gofundme.com/2g7faw4c. Please pass this on to any and all that may be able to help and please keep Mike in your prayers and thoughts.

Thanks in advance for your help and prayers,
Kenny Vaught
