| March 23, 2010 Airbosn | Topic: Bats Discussion: Weight of bats Not to sure of the QA at the bat plant, but from my manufacturing experience certain products were plus or minus X amount. However, certain customers want the exact weight, lenght, color, etc. for their buyers, sponsors, players. |
| Jan. 25, 2010 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Military MOS E4/E6 Close???LOL, for a nuke, maybe!. In that time frame(1962-1968) I was aboard the USS Saratoga, USS Lexington, USS Forrestal. |
| Jan. 22, 2010 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Military MOS OK, time for a little naval action, VN 67 and 72, Ubon, Thailand 72, stationed aboard 13 aircraft carriers as Crash-Fire-Rescue & Salvage Officer, Assistant Aircraft Maintenance Officer, VF-171 (F4 Phantoms), Aviation Fuels Officer, Flight Deck Officer. Served only 31 years...BTW, our troops out there deserve all the support we can give. |
| Jan. 20, 2010 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Just Curious! E4/E6 Absolutely...BTW, Never a ex-Marine, always a former Marine. |
| Jan. 19, 2010 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Good info Gee! A good Lacrosse helmet would meet all the requirements. Every watch those Lacrosse guys beat each up and fling that "Rock" into each other? LOL |
| Jan. 19, 2010 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Just Curious! Steve, down here in P'cola we have court judges, lawyers, college professors, law enforcement and firefighters and all the other vocations listed. I myself, 1,retired Naval Officer, 2, Environment/Safety Specialist retired from International paper |
| Jan. 4, 2010 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: different age group and divisions competing each other Bruce, frequently, we have played down in qualifiers and usually get placed in the lower age group but in the same rating. 60 major plays down to 55 AAA. I say this since I am beyond 65 and those young guys are beginning to catch up to me...LOL. Sooooooo, if you play down by age you also play down in the lower rating. BTW, don't want the 11th player. |
| Jan. 2, 2010 Airbosn | Topic: Associations Discussion: We'll see who wants good balls. As a tournament committee treasurer I can tell you this, 1. If we use crappy balls you da player will scream and yell. 2. You will recommend that we get better balls or you will not attend. 3. No matter what age group (50-75), you all want great balls to hit. 4. If a tourney gets a bad rap, teams will avoid. 5. BTW, We (the locals) make very little money on a tourney. We do it for the love of the game. |
| Jan. 2, 2010 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What's Wrong With-- When I was inspecting reserve centers in the Cleveland to Columbus area I remember a few fields around Columbus that actually had a line accross the diamond at a 12 foot height to aid pitchers and umpires in guestimating the whereabouts of 12 feet. I think they removed the line for regular league play. BTW, Gary I did a lot of playing around Brookpark, Independence and Brecksville, Nice area of the country. |
| Dec. 15, 2009 Airbosn | Topic: Associations Discussion: Herb Oliver? Bruce, Herb sent me a package. The package includes rules, accomadations, official roster,etc. He is scheduling the tournament to start 25 August in Chattanooga. Phone 423-320-8518. |
| Dec. 6, 2009 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Would it be acceptable to just make a pitching Mask and shin guards mandatory? Encourage the use of protective equipment...Softball is not OSHA regulated...Yet. lol. |
| Dec. 6, 2009 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Its Unanimous - The Best Senior Softball Players Are in California and Florida Audie, Well Said. The rule will hurt 6-8 panhandle teams since we have Bama and Georgia players on our teams. My guess is that we will play SPA during the coming year. |
| Dec. 6, 2009 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New PPR & Middle rule The PPR and this latest attempt does nothing for me when I pitch. 1. On many occasions I stand with the left foot on the extreme right side of the rubber and on occasions not even touching the rubber, lol. 2. After the release I am usually out of the box, either to the left of right depending on where I pitched the ball and what pitch I used. 3. In a number of situations I will be covering second. 4. The pitchers that I have observed move around in the area of the mound/rubber making it difficult for the umps to make a reasonable call. 5. SSUSA, Please review the rule with safety professionals. |
| Dec. 6, 2009 Airbosn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Nashville meeting Bruce, I believe that the committee did not look at panhandle (Pensacola to Tallahasse) population. The teams in my area depend on Alabama and Georgia for players. Well, I guess we will play nothing but SPA. |
| Nov. 27, 2009 Airbosn | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: TOC 60 Major JohnBob, I am not sure, was down in south FL for the SSUSA Winternational and heard that there was some reorganization going on. |
| Nov. 7, 2009 Airbosn | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: South Alabama or Florida Panhandle Knightrider, We have a couple of teams from the Pensacola area. We also have a league of eight teams that play doubleheaders on Saturday morning at Exchange Park in Pensacola. In addition to the above we play "choose-up" each Monday and Thursday morning at 0900 and have batting practice each Tue and Wed morning at 0900. All this occurs at Exchange Park. Need further info contact me at Airbosuun@aol.com |
