| Oct. 27, 2003 biggflyy 4 posts | Mobile Senior Softball Championships Was very disappointed in the condition of all the fields in Mobile. You could have put up a net in the infields and held a beach volleyball tournament. Also, some of the fields had fences of 275' and less. A number of teams indicated they will not be back and will look to play elsewhere. There are a number of complexes in S.C, Fla. and Ga. that have fields that would be worthy of holding a Seniors World Championships in the fall. |

| Oct. 29, 2003 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Len, you should have asked him if you stood in front of the box and didn't run up, would that be ok? Its too bad someone didn't have a rule book handy and show him that it states that if you run up IN the box you shall be called out. |
| Oct. 29, 2003 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | The incident that I referred to supposedly happened in the Hitmen/Classic game. I should have included this in my previous post, sorry. |
