| Nov. 9, 2015 softball4b Men's 70 1248 posts | Pretty good hitting considering he had tennis shoes on. Good Luck Big Cat. |
| Nov. 11, 2015 Gorilla Boy Men's 50 271 posts | Thanks Mike...I wish I could find a pair of shoes that will fit this big old foot. I usually wear size 16's and now and then I can wear a 17. Depends on the maker of the shoe. I have a pair of Nike shoes that I will need to break in. I can hit in anything. When your foot is that big you have a tremendous foundation. Ha! Ha!

| Nov. 11, 2015 OZ40 549 posts | Hey Mike, just for the heck of it I went on Ebay and entered "size 16 turf shoes" in the search box, 76 pairs came up, all were new mostly Nike, Reebok and a few others. Good Luck in your search. Oz PS: If you walk barefoot in the woods your footprints may show up on TV's "Finding Bigfoot". :-) |

| Nov. 12, 2015 jones32 4 posts | Hey. Big Mike, glad to see you are already at it. Hopefully we can get together some time this spring and at least hit together. Stay in touch and lots of luck to the legend MIGHTY MIKE MACENKO! |
| Nov. 12, 2015 DOERBAUM Men's 55 86 posts | GOOD TO SEE "MIGHTY MIKE" BACK IN ACTION. MIKE, YOU HIT PROBABLY THE LONGEST BALL I'VE EVER SAW WITH THE OLD CU-31 TECHNOLOGY. IT WAS AT RUMPKE PARK ON THE DIAMOND WITH 128 CIRCLING THE OUTFIELD. A RIGHT CENTER FIELD SHOT THAT CLEARED THE HIGHWAY AND LANDED IN THE PARKING LOT (CORNFIELD) ACROSS THE STREET (500' +-). ANOTHER MEMORABLE SHOT I WITNESSED WAS AT THE USSSA WORLDS AT THE FREDRICK KEYS STADIUM IN MARYLAND. YOU RIPPED A LINE DRIVE DOWN THE LINE THAT THE FIRST BASEMAN MADE A MOVE TOWARDS (MORE LIKE A FLINCH) LIKE HE HAD A SHOT AT IT. THE BALL DARN NEAR PUT A HOLE IN THE PLYWOOD ADVERTISING WALL BEHIND THE FENCE. GLAD I DONT PITCH ANY MORE WITH YOU ON THE WAY BACK.....LOL! FROM WHAT I SAW ON THE VIDEO MIKE, TWO THINGS, LEG WORK AND DIET BIG MAN. WE ALL WANT YOU AROUND FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. LAST NOTE ON THE SHOES. MY SON IS 6'8" WITH A SIZE 16 E AND CAN ORDER JUST ABOUT ANYTHING HE WANTS OFF OF ZAPPOS WEB SITE. KEEP BOMBING BIG MIKE! P.S. IS KORDO PLAYING SENIOR BALL AT ALL YET? |
| Nov. 12, 2015 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | Gorilla Boy (Mike) You always have a place to play with your local buddies with us you know, in-case other opportunities out of state fall through. If nothing else you are welcome to hit with us "anytime" too--------Of course YOU would fit in with us pretty well, being an "All Cleveland Area Team" :):):):):):) I "think" we have to move out of 50's and into 55 Major Plus next season 2016. Not trying to age you, but your right there with the rest of us :):):):) |
| Nov. 13, 2015 Gorilla Boy Men's 50 271 posts | Graphite, right now I have a couple of different ideas on what I want to do. The one team would be possibly from Alabama. Got a couple of different things offered at me. Not sure just yet. OZ,thank you for the Ebay. I have know that for years. I have bought some from there. I usually pick my shoes up at the Nike Outlets in Florida. When I use spikes they are usually the type with the little tips on the bottom. Jones32, Thank You. Trying to get after it. One of these days we will hit together for sure. Doerbaum, Thank you for the kind words. I did enjoy hitting at Rumpke. It was a hitters park. I know I hit some long ones there. The shoe thing is always a welcome. As you can see I really don't have a problem hitting in tennis shoes. Yes the legs is a good thing, that is where I got all strength in my swings. Gary, I will always keep you guys in mind. I would like to start hitting early next year outside and inside during this winter. So we will get together for sure. Thanks guys. Mighty Mike Macenko aka:Gorilla Boy Talked with Carl Rose yesterday and he is ready to start swinging the bat again. He will be 50 soon. So he wants to get into a little senior ball for sure. |
