| Nov. 18, 2005 eje800 Men's 65 1 posts | HOME RUNS NO HOME RUNS ALLOWED IN THE AA 65`S.IF YOUR 65 I THINK YOU SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HIT A HOME RUN(IF YOU CAN! IT WAS FUN ANYWAY |
| Nov. 18, 2005 MK39 Men's 50 333 posts | eje800 Takes a heartless person to make a rule such as this at any level at this age bracket. The 1 HR Equalizer and then singles would be the correct call and fair to both teams. To hit a home run at 65 and be called out??? That just makes no sense at all. IMO Good Luck to you.

| Nov. 20, 2005 Rod Men's 70 24 posts | I'm 68 and played in this bracket at Ft. Myers, I got upset when I read the format for the 65's regarding home runs, we played in six games and saw one hit (out) I'm not a HR guy but did go deep three times and I would have been happy knowing I could hit that far, but it would have been a let down to the team for making an out. I wrote an earlier post regarding this subject and explained that at this age bracket it would be great to hit one, also by allowing a HR to stand in this bracket would simplify some of the guidelines for the association coordinating the tournament. |
| Nov. 21, 2005 River Randy Men's 50 9 posts | I totally agree, If you are playing in the 65 age bracket and if you are to hit the ball over the fence then you should be rewarded with a home - run not an out. |
| Nov. 21, 2005 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | I think at the AA level they are trying not to have 4 or 5 person on a AA team that can hit it out of park. If a team has that many HR hitter some need to move up to AAA Wes |
| Nov. 21, 2005 jah#4 Men's 70 576 posts | I believe if a 65 year old hit a homerun in AA he should at least be given a single. I really only know a hand full of 65 + that can hit a ball 300+ and they want to play major or better. Don Ward Miken/Old South/STW |
| Nov. 22, 2005 lefty_9 Men's 65 5 posts | I'm 65 and do hit home runs, but ther is a AA player in ANY division hitting home runs he should come and play where he belongs. Major or major + |
| Nov. 22, 2005 Mitch Men's 50 68 posts | What should the 65 yr old home run hitter do if there isn't a AAA or Major or Major + team in their area? Give up the game? We're all pretty well set in our ways and to try and change to a "singles" hitter when you're use to hitting HR's would be pretty hard to do, don't you think? I agree with the fact that HR hitters in the younger divisions should move up, but at 65? Come on, at least give them a single. |
| Nov. 22, 2005 Rod Men's 70 24 posts | Regarding lefty-9 post, its good to hear that you can go deep and your in a group of a few at 65, however what Mitch stated is true if you have no other division what are you to do. From what I see most players in the 65's are AAA or AA. Lefty If you follow the tourament schedule of teams you will see this. |
