Nov. 2, 2017 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | Pro Slow Pitch Softball Late 70's Early 80's I had a similar thread on here a few years ago: Driving by a vacant softball field that used to be packed with fans back in the day here in Ohio, Memories of the OLD Pro Slow Pitch Softball Leagues from the 70's and 80's. These leagues intrigued me when I was in my late teens and early 20's. The local Cleveland Team even used to be on LIVE TV when we only had five channels :) A lot of the guys who played on these teams back then are playing senior ball now (or have in the past) Did any of you guys ever play on any of the teams? Here is a list of who was playing in 1979, I believe leagues were playing (some teams folded and some new teams expanded) between 1977-1982 1979 APSPL Regular Season Final Standings Eastern Division Record Pct.
