| Feb. 17, 2013 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking to for softball team in Central Illinois (Decatur, Peoria, Champaign) Send me your email Barney , we have a good 65 team & are on your border....Ron |
| Dec. 17, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: AAA Home Run Outs BIG CAT ole buddy.....was talking w/your old friend Cobbie recently....we were recalling how the ASA Men's Major (young guys) , has a limit of 10 HR'S & that big exposition game with the USA & Canada ,on ESPN each year, has a limit of 10 HR'S. That game has some very strategic moments each year when those guys show their versatality w/the bat to keep it in the park late in the game. Take care pal........AAA-3 hr's , then outs. |
| Dec. 2, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: looking for 50 and over major or 50 and over major plus team Wow , small world . I went to High School w/a Dale Womack in Lou. Ky. He would be 66 now. I wonder if he was around your area in those days ? |
| Dec. 2, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Altamonte Springs, Florida, 2013 Winter Softball Camp Sounds good 1 of 11 . but I have been to the last 3 TOC's, further south in Lakeland area , in Feb. & thought I was In Northern Michigan.... |
| Nov. 19, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: toc To "the answer"....1st of all U must abide by the "border rule". Roster wise , a team may replace 1 for 1 , meaning for each guy that cant go , U can replace them w/player of same level up to 13 names.....U cant just play on any team. Even if you want to take an older guy , he still must be on the same skill level or lower.....Hope this helps you..Ron P.S. been there , done that. |
| Nov. 14, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Awards for championship teams Last year , our team received a Combat back pack ( half - sized ) bat / equipment bag with shoulder straps . Something like you would use to transport your gear while riding on a motor cycle . I have yet to see anyone on my team or anyone on any other team , utilize 1 of these "white elephants".... |
| Aug. 15, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Heartland 65 AA had 3 teams . Close games . |
| Aug. 1, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Heartland in Chattanooga MARIO:You guys have the best Senior Team I have ever seen.What did U think about that Louisville 50 Major team ?..... HEARTLAND allows you to have 2 players "off" your border & 2 players 1 year younger.... |
| Aug. 1, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Heartland in Chattanooga There will be a 55 & a 65 team from Louisville going.... |
| Aug. 1, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISA Columbus,Indiana Yes it was. I missed the watch part of it. All I wanted was a shade tree & a cold beer....Heard that 50 Major "Snakes/H&O got a TOC bid as did Jim & Joes 60's. |
| July 31, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISA Columbus,Indiana T-shirts & All-American medals were given to winners & runnerup.....Anything else U buy.....T-shirts are the "sta-dry" material that U are seeing now days , that bwas good.We are going to put #s on ours & use them in Dalton & Chattanoga.... |
| July 1, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Slowpitch, US National team vs US Futures team on ESPN2 at 8:00pm or ES2HD Ironically , I happened to be listening to the "Jim Rome Show" on the radio at noon the following Monday after the game.The softball game between team USA & The Futures became the topic. He was very harsh about the players & the game itself.He called them "a bunch of 5'10 , 310 lb slobs.I never cared much for Jim Romes big mouth & his self described knowledge of every sport. Anyone know if he ever even played anything or just relies on his big mouth to get his personal points accross & make money doing it ? |
| June 21, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Barberton ; Any sour notes ? I attended Barberton Tourney last week . Besides " blacked out " scoreboards , everybody was talking about the batter boxes . It was like hitting out of a slippery 6 inch hole in the ground . Many players were complaining about the footing . One of our guys fell (he was not the only one) while swinging & received a small hemotoma on his wrist & was bleeding . The place actually takes you down memory lane from whence many ballparks in the 50's & 60's were situated up & down a street . Other than those 2 issues , we had a good time with " Red "......So so tired of playing in big tournaments with no scoreboards. |
| May 26, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Stop the 3 day tournaments 3 Days ! How about 4 ! Take for instance Plano . We have played there at least 5 or 6 times . You leave home on Wednesday & get back on the following Monday . But , the real kicker to some of these tournaments is that a lot of times during the seeding , you play 1 game on a particular day . |
| Feb. 13, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: TOC Update That would be Floyd from Grand Rapids...Yes , he does not use a senior bat. I believe he uses a "mayhem". And he has been idle for 5 months.... |
| Feb. 13, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: TOC Update Kinnico , from Michigan & Indiana wins the 55 Major. They are a fine team,veteran players doing it together....Hats off to SSUSA for putting together an indoor feast , ran and orchestrated like a "Hollywood Production"......Yes , again the weather became a factor. It was cold every morning & Sunday morning was no exception,33 degrees with a 40 mph wind. It really takes a lot of the fun out of it when the weather misbehaves like that.Spectators wrapped in blankets were abundant.....Isn't the month of February considered as the coldest month of the year no matter where you are in the USA ?....3 years in a row , of cold weather , should deem worthy of strong consideration for changing the dates of the TOC to an earlier date....Teams scramble all season long to qualify & dont go. I believe they must be looking at their "Farmers Almanac" & trusting its long term outlook of the forecast....And last but not least , another "Major" senior softball tournament with no electronic scoreboards....And I do mean another. |
| Feb. 6, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: looking for a contact BULLETHEAD , whats your question . I see you are on the border near maybe "Club Hollywood" ? Steve , I sent msg to info@seniorsoftball...Hopefully thats what it takes to enter contest...Dont see any other way. |
| Feb. 3, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: looking for a contact Yes Steve , you can go. Anthony & I are limping as it is . I will be having a total knee done on Valentines Day when we get back...Get my # from Danny or I will get yours....RG |
| Feb. 3, 2012 jimjoes-gman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: looking for a contact BULLETHEAD , that would be me (Expert Car Care), whats up ? Neck10 , we are that 55AAA team you played in Chattanoga. |
| Dec. 29, 2011 jimjoes-gman | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What makes a tournament a national tournament Steve , why do you continually converse w/those idiot's ? |
