benji, that list is correct...Tim might of fluffed it with all these old farts spin, but yes Becker has a back issue and still hits it 400 feet. Billy is a major plus player even if he has no ranking!

I talk to you on the phone when you where with the infamous Einstein! LOL I didn't mean you were calling me out, I was just letting anyone know I don't need to hide.. Everyone On Thunderstruck will be playing against me in North Cal Senior softball association or with me.. I just for the record IMO think that 55 major plus players should carry the same rating to 50 major plus.. the best 55s are on the 50 plus level! out of respect of what these athletes can do, is why I think it's unfair for them to be able to bounce down to 50 major level. They were a loaded team for 50 major. 6 55 major plus champs, one 50 major champ and two for major plus players.. seems like a bit much for the 50 major division IMO..

Benji, webbie I don't hide behind keyboard.. I know everyone on that team and they know me.. I am Rich Navarro.. I only stated the facts that I know. I just think it's wrong to have Major plus players dropping one age group and division to chase a ring.. hell, it's the major division so you truly are playing for 12th place.. the 50 major plus is the top 12!

what I know for sure, is 6 guys I played in 55s last year won it with MTC and 2 guys were on a 40 team that got bumped to 40 major plus and 1 guy got a medical exempt from 50 major plus. so I understand that 6 guys makes you a returning team and that won 55s last year major plus. I thought the Tim Millete rule was in and no 55 major plus team could drop into the 50 major bracket??

It always amazing that we provide our own balls first of all... secondly, EVERY TEAM KNOWS the balls... Penalty should be forfeit of the game! IMO

K man, I wish you luck on that first one.... Run it out all the way... and get that ball! ;-) I kind of find it silly that you can't Tape more than two wraps of tape... some guys like thicker handles and some like thin. I don't believe you get better performance by the thickness of the handle. If we are talking Softball;-)

Discussion: RECLASSIFYING A TEAM/AND OR PLAYERS

I believe you guys(Players) are stuck with your rating.. the only way I heard of, is if you have a medical exception that clearly makes a player much less of a player than their rating suggests.. Not that easy to do. As for whole team, you can play at your current rating and then petition based on your competitiveness at that level.. you should call the main office and discuss your options.. My team was reclassified back to major once.. We didn't complain but took our shot and followed the process. We are back in Major plus again.

Discussion: Looking For Some Feedback

Omar, it helps when guys are honest with themselves...Even Starters! I remember coming back from achilles issue this last year and didn't have my legs 100 percent in Westerns, I took a backseat and let my other teammates help me out especially in the Outfield.. I had to be honest with myself and say to myself, others around me were probably going to get it done better than myself at this time...I know that typically Bench players are always looking for time and probably thinking they are a bit better than they really are.. I like that kind of ego to a point, but don't like when it gets the dugout Vibe down.. fine line for sure! I so much appreciate the bench guys, running for guys and helping out whenever they can... Thankless job, but not in my dugout, because I will personally thank them!

Discussion: player fees

The way my North Cal Warriors run it...is we all chip in $150 per player... then we get some help by a few sponcers... I wouldn't care if we got the whole thing paid for, it's nice to know that we have skin in the game from each of our Teammates.
Air and hotel is on every one to pay for.. we run in about 14 tourneys a year, water, ice and sometimes beer get put in cooler by our manager! Balls are bought and then, I think big Ron makes his jeep payments with the rest ;-) That covers it!
