| Sept. 5, 2013 Jetboy 62 posts | Have you ever noticed how many major brands of softball/baseball equipment there are? Rawlings, Wilson, Mizuno, Miken, Franklin, Louisville Slugger, Demarini, Easton, Worth, Dudley, Nakoma and I'm sure I'm just scratching the surface. Are there any other sports or hobbies that have so many manufacturers competing for our dollars? |

Are there any leagues for those sports for 70 Plus men or women. Softball/baseball is the the most popular sport for all ages. When I was very young, I never dreamed that I would be playing softball after 40. Here I am 63 and still playing and having a great time. Andy Smith, 55/60 Major |

| Sept. 6, 2013 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Our area (Central valley, CA) has 'clubs' for most other sports...golf, tennis, volleyball, basketball, BB, bicycling, track etc. Have not personally watched their games but know they exist. Most are geared for the younger ages or middle aged but I know many above 70 that are involved. If they 'make it' , someone\somewhere will buy it. |
