| June 4, 2016 curty | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: would like an explanation two points I see here: self evaluation= we are not dominating at our current level so we need to be re-evaluated down. And, he's our buddy, no matter how good he is, so we should be able to have him on our roster & stay at lower level. Both cases are self serving. SSUSA tries very hard to protect lower division teams which is why there are so many lower division teams! My team- Hannington's, from Mass. was moved to M after a good season. Many of our guys felt we couldn't compete-UNTIL WE PLAYED! Winning easily @ local level was not a challenge, now we must play harder. Step up people, and we will have more teams at upper levels. USSSA & ASA did & still do not protect those lower divisions and look where they are. |
| April 4, 2016 curty | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: same team playing in two different age groups if a team is rated AAA & they age up, they will be allowed to move down in rating? |

| Nov. 20, 2015 curty | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: First time for everything had a line drive deflect off our pitchers shoulder ( lost it in the mask) to be caught in the air by our shortstop @ Winter Worlds a couple weeks ago. |
| Oct. 20, 2015 curty | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Why is this rule not enforced?? any umpire that "waives" a rule for any reason, or fails to enforce a rule should not be on the field. What if both teams agree to not use the foul lines? And this can go anywhere. I have umped for over 35 years, in 4 associations, and I would be very uncomfortable with teams telling me what rules they will play by. |
| Oct. 4, 2015 curty | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: international pacific rim tourney On the plane home, met up with teammate Mel Stinnett- recently married- that missed the International banquet while in the emergency room with a kidney stone shortly after playing!! Now that's tough luck! Had an absolutely marvelous time coaching the USA White team despite the 5th place finish. My bad. Big shout out to everyone involved, from Ross (needs to smile more) to each of the wonderful people from my team. The whole deal was amazing. Thanks to SSUSA for including me. Super banquet, marvelous entertainment,outstanding players from all teams. I would appreciate any pic's/ info/ input sent to me @ 774 200 6907 or curt_01092@yahoo.com. |

From me & all of us @ Hannington's/baystate bombers,we wish you & yours the best going forward. Curt Snow |
| Aug. 18, 2015 curty | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Favorite Baseball Movie all good, my vote goes to League of their own. Having met 4 of the original players @ World tourney @ Phoenix several years ago, they now hold a special place for me personally. Besides one of the best & most often used lines-- "there's no crying in baseball" ( softball) |

| July 14, 2015 curty | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 66 yr old looking 66 , looking for 65AAA going to Vegas for worlds. Currently 60M, will b there for the duration of tourney. live in mass, limited positions due to bad knees, can't do outfield. Willing to sub. have others interested also, not enough to field a team. |
| June 18, 2015 curty | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: courtesy runner same general situation:runner slides into second, time is called, he needs attention for torn pants, goes to dug out for repair. Out? While not quite the same, the rule should be interpreted the same. Coyrtesy runner is in the game when he touches the base. As this did not occur-- and ball was dead therefore no offense or defensive play can be made, NO CALL. |

| May 1, 2015 curty | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: obstructed base SSUSA has addressed this issue @ rule 8.6. This states that a runner can miss the base to avoid collision & continue & not be called out. Hard to find but I am sure it's in there. |
| March 17, 2015 curty | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Unloader Knee Brace i wear them on both knees to play. cuts down a little on mobility left & right & can't jump up quickly after a dive. pain is reduced a small amount while on the field, but more so AFTER play. I also have orthotics to correct a severe bow legged condition. I am currently looking into the stem cell therapy, as I had it in my heart 4 years ago. Anything to keep us on the field!! |
| Feb. 11, 2015 curty | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Unloader Knee Brace hey Dix-- you should be upset with teams in your division for NOT going. The wounded Warrior game & all the other events sponsored by SSUSA made my trip worth while, despite not finishing well. guess not all can see the forest for the trees. |
| Feb. 11, 2015 curty | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: TOC WOUNDED WARRIOR All-STAR GAME THRILLER thanks for an absolutely fabulous time. must add-- in true dramatic style, that final homerun was off the scoreboard! Also, a fantastic catch by Warrior's left fielder. A.mazing men as well as athletes. |
| Dec. 30, 2014 curty | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The TOC i consider this an elite event & am proud to be a part of it. It's more than just another tournament. i wonder why / how teams are shorthanded as each qualified team had to have had enough players to win a major tourney. I realize that players move during the off season, get hurt & even retire, but at the time that a team qualifies is when a commitment should be made. Our team earned a berth @ mid summer and immediately began making arrangements. We lost a player to mortality & will celebrate his life at the T.O.C. as a team. Curios as to circumstances that cause a team to become shorthanded? |
| Dec. 29, 2014 curty | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The TOC i understand the points made here. our team has had the same basic players, with age being the mitigating factor, from 50's thru 55's & now 60's, & really enjoy playing @ T.O.C. when qualified. The experience ( with all that SSUSA offers) at this event has proved to be excellent! The dates are not as important to us as all of our guys look forward to it. If we qualify @ Winter Worlds it just makes planning easier! Do a lot of the teams out there change that much thru a season? here in New England there are not many players to choose from @ a given age/ level, so we play together for extended time periods. Wondering about other areas? |
| Nov. 18, 2014 curty | Topic: Bats Discussion: Anaconda Sports Rep / Frank Short hey Mike, i'm the guy w broken new U-II @ worlds @ Vegas. just want to thank you & Frank for getting the replacement situation rectified for me. hope all is well for both of you, & see ya soon!
