| Jan. 8, 2017 Fast Old Man Men's 60 4 posts | Look to join tournament team for 2017 I live north of Charlotte NC, and play on a Charlotte Senior Sports weekend team. I am looking for a tournament team for a few tournaments in 2017. I am 61. I prefer outfield, but also can play 2nd base, or catch. I have been playing Church League and Open League ball for 5 years against guys age 18 up, mostly 20's and 30's that are very strong, so I would not be afraid to play on a 55 up team. My greatest asset is speed, and good base running instincts. I run for myself always, plus I almost always am called upon to do base running for slow guys, which allows teams to maximize run production. This is double duty, but my legs have thus far been good enough to do both. I don't train, but I ran in the Senior games last year, and ran a 50 meter dash (55 yards)in 7.38 seconds. I cover 2nd to home in under 7 seconds, and can score from 1st on balls hit in the outfield gaps. The speed also lets me reach outfield balls that others can't reach. I have new lenses in both eyes, and now see better than ever. Important: I am a team player! I don't like mouthy or selfish players. Teams win games, not individual players. I believe in doing my talking on the field, and rarely do much talking anywhere else. The only stat that matters to me is if our team scores more runs than the other team. This is what i always work toward. I play already about 60 games a year, but i could play about 4 tournaments. It could be AA, AAA, or whatever, depending on the opportunity. If you are interested, call me at 828-308-5574. Thanks, Tim |
