| June 12, 2007 Sweet P Men's 60 191 posts | SPA World Tounament July 13-15 Who will be playing in the SPA World Tournament in the Major '55' division July 13-15? |
| June 12, 2007 salio2k Men's 60 547 posts | I thought that you were Major +. Good luck in MO. |
| June 12, 2007 audieh Men's 60 249 posts | The Hollis Appraisals 55 will be there in the Major Plus division. |
| June 12, 2007 Sweet P Men's 60 191 posts | Sal, congratulations on winning the Burbank league. Enjoy your title, because Rocky is bringing back the Kings for the summer season, so you guys better load up! I heard D&K also got moved back down to Major, and that you guys are going to KC? |
| June 12, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I'll post for my good buddies, RT and JAH4. Kayson's Grille 55's will be there playing 55 Major. I'll be there with Audie and his Hollis Appraisals. |
| June 12, 2007 E. Ness 122 posts | Looks like the 55 Major and Major Plus will be big this year. There is suppose to be a couple of good AAA teams from KC playing major also. Cheaper to play here than go to GA. I guess. Bruce I hope you guys got rooms at the Casino's since they are the closest motels to the fields. Also since you are coming to my town make sure you get a good steak and bbq before you leave. Unless they have changed the open fields around the ball parks to soccer fields there is plenty of room to take bp at the park and don't let the area fool you the complex is only 5 years old and is very nice. If you want more info about the fields and area e-mail me at. sg550223@yahoo.com |
| June 12, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Thanks! I have already noted Arthur Bryant's and KC Masterpiece BBQ. I'll pass along the other info to our coaches. |
| June 12, 2007 E. Ness 122 posts | Bruce KC Masterpiece is no longer in business. Try Gates, or Jack Stack. There are many others but you will not have the time. I know you don't know who this is and because of work rules I cannot post my name but here is a good clue. Except for the SPA I cannot play out of region because I am land locked in KC which means I have no major plus team to play for. So this is my one and only tournament this year. I will be playing for the Mavericks. |
| June 12, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Mr. Ness, you're right, I didn't have a clue. I wondered where you were. Thanks for the tips on the BBQ joints. Do they serve pork out there? :) I'll make sure I look you up when we get there! |
| June 12, 2007 turn2 489 posts | e. ness, i believe in the world series in minn. each team can add 2 out of area players if anyone you know is going and also the usssa has open rosters. later donnie |
| June 12, 2007 salio2k Men's 60 547 posts | Yes, we will be there playing Major. We are supposed to play this Saturday in Chino against E. Ness's Mavericks. Double Play is slated to be there also. Maybe we will play against you on the 24th. |
| June 12, 2007 E. Ness 122 posts | Yes the do Bruce. Some of the best around.Make sure you look me up bro and I will be looking for Curts team also. I hope everyone enjoys the tournament. This is the first time in a long time we have had a senior world here in KC. Donnie Thanks for trying to help but I don't know of anyone going to those two tournaments this year. |
| June 12, 2007 E. Ness 122 posts | Salio, They will not let me play in those tournaments. Right now I can only play in SPA events with the Mavericks. I hope that changes in the near future and some other associations do as SPA has done but for now it is SPA only. |
| June 12, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | ENess: I not only know your identity, I know where you live. :-) GSF - 55 will be in KC... I spoke with Ridge yesterday and he also says that this might be the very best 55 major + event that SPA has ever had... perhaps 8 teams. We have had this on our calendar for some time. Thanks for the BBQ info, too. :-) Bob Woodroof |
| June 12, 2007 E. Ness 122 posts | I hear that Bob. There are other places just as good but y'll will need a guide for those places. |
| June 15, 2007 Brett Men's 55 239 posts | KC Masterpice is still in business. They are located at 110th & Metcalf in Overland Park, KS. The KC Barons are a very good local 50+ AAA team and will be playing in the 50+ major division. It made more sense for us to play in this one instead of going to Daulton, GA. What other 50+ major tames will be playing in this tournament? |
| June 15, 2007 E. Ness 122 posts | Brett, You know KC Masterpiece is to far from Liberty and cannot compare to the above mentioned places.;) |
| June 15, 2007 Brett Men's 55 239 posts | My personal favorite for BBQ is Jack Stack in Martin City. |
| June 15, 2007 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | you want BBQ you need to come down here to tx . |
| June 15, 2007 E. Ness 122 posts | ODB, I have nothing against Texas BBQ but my preference is KC BBQ. Could be because I grew up on KC BBQ and to me nothing compares. I am sure everyone has their own style of BBQ they like or grew up on. besides you left CA to retire in Texas so you only know one style;) Brett Jack Stacks on the Plaza is great also. |
| June 15, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Ok Brett and Nessey, I have these as a must try: Gates , Jack Stack and Arthur Bryants. Is Martin City convienent to the ball fields? How about the Gates, and Bryants? |
| June 15, 2007 E. Ness 122 posts | Bruce Martin City is not close to the ball fields. The one on the plaza is a lot closer. AB is just across the river as is Gates. North of the river where the ball parks are there are many bbq places but none of them are as famous as the ones mentioned. When I see you on Friday I can give you directions to all these places. |
| June 15, 2007 Brett Men's 55 239 posts | Bruce, there is also a great BBQ joint (especially known for their ribs) in Excelsior Springs, which is just north of Liberty a little ways. The place is across the street from the Elms resort. They usually have good live blues bands outside on Saturday nights. |
| June 15, 2007 Robo2 238 posts | Sweet Construction from NJ - 50 major will be there. What other 50 major teams and from what state? |
| June 15, 2007 Sweet P Men's 60 191 posts | The NCI and D & K '55' Major teams will be there! |
| June 15, 2007 armiho211 Men's 70 449 posts | OKAY 65'S--- WHO'S COMING ?? THE TEXAS GREYHOUNDS 65'S, MAJOR WILL BE THERE. hope we get a big turnout from around the country, would be nice to see teams we havent played against before. let's have good games, great bbq, chase wild women ( kidding ! ) make new amigos. see ya ! frank armijo #11 |
| June 15, 2007 cpope Men's 75 160 posts | E-Ness, The Suncoast Sunrays arn't going to make it to KC. Sure hate to miss it and it would have been good to see you again. Maybe next year. Anne says HI. Take Care of your self. |
| June 16, 2007 E. Ness 122 posts | Damn cpope I was hoping you were coming. Tell Anne I said hi and I hope to see y'll soon. |
| June 18, 2007 CRUSADERVB Men's 70 275 posts | DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE 50 MAJOR TEAMS WILL BE PLAYING? WHAT SUBURB? HOTELS NEARBY? CLASS ACT FROM ILLINOIS WILL BE IN KC. |
| June 19, 2007 Brett Men's 55 239 posts | CRUSADERVB, the tournament is being held at the Fountain Bluffs sports complex in Libery, MO. There are 2 casinos (Ameristar and Harrah's) near by and lodging is available within fairly close. |
