| Feb. 8, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Hey Eddie. Hah ya doon? Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I guess I'm going through my winter or dormant phase. Let's see. Free defensive subbing needs a little time to ferment. Lively bats and balls rule. SSUSA has moved more toward players. SPA is polling players and asking us questions. NorCal is rocking and we've formed a brand new team for 2010, the Barons and it's huge fun getting it going. Dirty and I have buried the hatchet and not in either one of us. The website has gotten more informative and respectful with more and different guys posting all the time. There's less hostility on the website and though that might make it and it less interesting and entertaining it's a good sign. Eddie? You gonna be in Reno? |

| Feb. 9, 2010 Brett Men's 55 239 posts | name infringement (lol)??? Kansas City Barons |
| Feb. 9, 2010 Eddie 12 Men's 50 14 posts | Joe, not sure at this time we are still working out our schedule. Since the southwest championships have been droped in Tucson we are looking to add one and Reno is possible. I was a bit worried that like in Shan after you finnished of all the big gunslingers here that you to left town. I am glad that your demise was greatly exaggerated. Eddie |
| Feb. 9, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | I must say Brett I felt lessened when I saw the Kansas City Barons, thinking we had a great name that no one had taken up, yet. You mean the world ISN'T my oyster??? How cruel. Ours is derived from the last Negro League team that played in the Negro League World Series with a teenage phenom called Willie Mays, the best baseball player I ever saw play. Our name is derived from the Birmingham Black Barons and we use their logo and colors. I think the Barons is a great name for a team and how'd you guys come about picking it? We'll just be playing locally this year in NorCal and then we'll see how the team develops/progresses as we go. I think the Sultans would be a good name, too that's not used a lot. Bottom line, you can call yourself the Yankees but it don't mean you'll play like them. Hey Harry and thanks. The Harrys, now that would be a great name for a team, too. Thanks, Paco. You, too. |
| Feb. 9, 2010 Dirty Men's 50 1371 posts | Joe, Mays is the best you ever saw? And here I had been told that you saw the Babe. :) |
| Feb. 9, 2010 Brett Men's 55 239 posts | I chose our Barons team name 5 years ago for the same reason.....after the Birmingham Barons. I felt it was different and had a certain ring to it. |
| Feb. 9, 2010 Ho 301 posts | Birmingham Barons minor league team also had a former basketball player named "Michael J" playing for them. Unfortunately the last major professional team that was called the BARONS went belly-up in 79-80 and a team from Minnesota had first pick on its players...that being the CLEVELAND NHL BARONS. If you're talking about great names from the past, what about the Beaneaters, Monarchs, Spiders and my twin favorites from the old New York - Penn AA league..the YORK WHITE ROSES and the LANCASTER RED ROSES or vice versa Could even be a new thread started on our favorite old time (who we actually saw play) players Thanks for bringing back some memories Joe. Ho |
| Feb. 9, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Hey Gary. Willie Mays was the best player I ever saw. The ability Mays had to step up, rise up, if you will, to raise the level of his game to meet and overcome a challenge, marked him for me as the ultimate player/winner/competitor as a baseball player I've ever seen. I feel the same way about other fierce competitors like Larry Bird, Bernard King, Bob Gibson, Joe Montana, Frank Robinson, Oscar Roberson and Michael Jordan, just to name a few. I've seen it in some very special senior softball players too, like Clatta, Butch Hayes, Rick Perez and Mickey Hughes, just to name a few. These guys give the impression that they would rather die than give in or give up when challenged. True warriors and competitors who show and bring out the best in all of us. |
| Feb. 9, 2010 Johnny Hose Men's 50 73 posts | Joey, Joey, Joey... Miss ya, little brother ! This board is "Boring" without you. Me and the guys talked about you at practice on Sunday and was just wondering "How you doin". Got your squad up & going? Gonna see the results, when? Give me a call when you get a chance, got some more news too. Later. |
| Feb. 9, 2010 Johnny Hose Men's 50 73 posts | Joe, As soon as I posted, the above message, my computer added the rest of the discussions... guess I gotta feed my mouse, sorry. Still good to see you post! Call me or I'll call you. John. |
| Feb. 10, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Thanks, Johnny. It was GREAT talking with you. Made my whole year, so far as relates to senior softball. Help is on the way and never a better time for it. A great day for all senior softball players and the community of senior softball. Woooohoooooooo. Tell Mike Burbank I said hi and hope his ankle is on the mend. Can't wait to see the both of you. |
| Feb. 10, 2010 Corky Men's 55 451 posts | I'm surprised some team out of NM hasn't used their AAA baseball teams name, "The Isotopes" (get on that Web25) other than the Ft. Wayne "Mad Ants" of the NBDL, it's a cool name. We threw a bunch of diehard travelin softball players together for a tournament and did pretty well. I kinda like the name they chose as well. "Antique Roadshow" (Sorry i know the thread was about finding Einstein, but the name thing is a lot of fun........"Keep on Playin" |
| Feb. 10, 2010 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | einstein--did you get those 4 proposals that I sent you?????---I'm taking them summitt with me next week Wes |
| Feb. 10, 2010 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | Who every---I have been ask by Ridge,SPA to talk about a new way of rating teams. I talked to both Terry and Ridge about a system where we all will know what our rating is and how we got that rating. After each tournament we could know if our rating had gone up or down and why. We could have a web site with the rating of ALL teams so when you go to a tournament you would know if Joe's team was good or realy good, or they might just be ok. Wes |
| Feb. 10, 2010 E4/E6 Men's 70 873 posts | Wes, While you're at it, put a bug in Ridge's ear about hosting more west coast tournaments. |
| Feb. 10, 2010 JamesLG 420 posts | Hey Joe and Johnny: It sounds like you cats know something we may want to hear. When will it hit the press? Thanks: James |
| Feb. 10, 2010 Johnny Hose Men's 50 73 posts | James LG... Soon. Can't say more yet. But, sooooon. Thanks for asking though. |
| Feb. 10, 2010 Johnny Hose Men's 50 73 posts | Hey Lecak... You comming over to Phoenix, right? Can't wait. More stuff to talk about. I think we should start a thread early to get results on the TOC from Dave. It will drive him nuts! Just kidding, seriously. |
| Feb. 10, 2010 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Yes we are coming down. I see your sandbagging into major. Seriously glad to see you guys in the major. It was not going to be a fun year by yourselves in major plus. Looking forward to hitting against big Mike. With you guys, CJ's, us, Las Vegas 50's the bandits, Mudhens and a few others should have some good regional stuff. Don't forget me for May 15th and 16th. |
| Feb. 11, 2010 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | Hey, Corky, we have been the Desperados since 1984, but I do love the name Isotopes. While we may be a little 'Quarky', we only have a few guys that are 'radioactive', especially when 'bombed' on crown and coke. One of the best names of a team I ever played on was 'Big Al's Pizza Parlor and Mortuary'. Still have that shirt, but it is falling apart.Also, a real strong coed team called 'Cleats and Cleavage'.Those were the days. |
| Feb. 11, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Wes, I did. You have my blessing and support for your rating system ideas. Basically, if you, any player, believes/sees a good, positive, inclusive, other directed idea you will always get my/our support for expressing and delivering it. Go get 'em. |
| Feb. 11, 2010 Johnny Hose Men's 50 73 posts | Lecak, You don't miss much do you? Where's your team staying? We need one room there. No, seriously! E-Mail me. And, we have some yoots, too. (youths) They might know your yoots. See you. |
