| Feb. 28, 2006 hornachec Men's 55 50 posts | ISA Senior Nationals ULTRA II WILL BE ALLOWED at the ISA Senior Worlds in St. Louis this August. There was a question a few days back if the Ultra II would be allowed. Talked with owner of ISA and he said that the Ultra II would be allowed at the ISA Senior Worlds. |
| March 1, 2006 bashbro1 Men's 70 267 posts | Great NEWS Hornechec! Our W.E. Ruth 60ís team has that tourney on our schedule for 2006 and can hardly wait. By the by, I jus luv the ětrampolineî effect I get with the U2. The bat just seems to eat the bat for a split second and then slings into outer space at velocities (Model named, VELOCIT-E for good reason) Iíve never experience with any other bat of any kind. No wonder this is the ěbat of choiceî for the vast majority of senior softball competitors today. So, ěwhatís in your bagî? If you donít have one of these state-of-the-art masterpieces, then in my opine, itís like bringing a knife to a gun battle! And they are now offered senior prices from $178.50 add shipping, to $199.00 maybe shipped free on board. Iíve put in my order for the Miken Ultra II ěCOMMEMORATIVEî bat painted in senior colors for about $150.00 that is due out shortly. Check with you local Miken Rep for how to order this classic bat.

| March 1, 2006 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | You're kidding I hope on the COMMERATIVE part. |
| March 1, 2006 bashbro1 Men's 70 267 posts | Lecak, now would I kid you? I guess you find something abominable about the Miken company commemorating one of its bats, in this case the Ultra II? Letís see I believe it would be Websterís def 2 in this case. Commemorative: Def. 1: A ceremony to honor the memory of someone or something Def 2: In recognition of meritorious service or having great merit in and of itself! Yes, it got to be Def #2! Bashbro1 |
| March 1, 2006 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | bashbro1 I'm with you all the way on your definition can you walk me through what senior colors are. It sounds like a can't miss promotion by Miken. |
| March 2, 2006 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | But what color is a wrinkle? |
| March 3, 2006 modo9999 13 posts | The Fields for this tournament are awesome. Hotels are located near fields , Casino's. Resturants and a Huge Mall are practically next door to the fields. Airport is also close to Hotels and Fields. |
| March 3, 2006 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | It sounds like a great tournament in the making, U2's, casinos, convienent location. Maybe they will even have working scoreboards and 2 umpires per game :). |
| March 3, 2006 modo9999 13 posts | Score Boards are being installed as we speak. |
| March 3, 2006 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Modo9999, please don't take my previous post personally, it wasn't directed to you or the fields there. In the past we have played in "Nationals" that used only one umpire in the preliminaries, no working scoreboards and the home team had to keep the books. |
| March 3, 2006 modo9999 13 posts | I wasn't offended. Just wanted to let you know we will have scoreboards. |
| March 4, 2006 TexasTransplant Men's 70 516 posts | Modo9999, I'm looking forward to this one. I haven't played in St. Louis since the early 70's when I played in Forrest Park. It was an usual experience to play outfield on those fenceless fields. Sometimes I would be looking the fielder from a game on the neighboring field in the face. The Cardinals are in town against the Brewers that weekend. Do you thinks we'll be able to get tickets with the new stadium and all? |
| March 5, 2006 modo9999 13 posts | Cardinal Tickets are going to be tough to get. Single game tickets went on sale yesterday. I think they are sold out except for standing room Mike |
| March 6, 2006 turn2 489 posts | what 50 or 55 major plus teams are planning to go to st. louis? trying to decide where most of the teams will be st. louis or oregon for the usssa national. thanks donnie chavis turn two / rekco / county sports 55 major plus |
| March 6, 2006 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | GSF-55 was considering Salem, Or. but figured that they would get very few teams. We want to play where the best teams will be... such as Turn Two. If ISA will have 5-6 major + teams, I believe that we'll go there. If they do allow the ultra II, the chances of getting the best teams will increase. We haven't played in St. L. since the Carter administration. Bob Woodroof - GSF mgr |
| March 7, 2006 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | one additional consideration for GSF will be the fields. Will they be maintained? The last time we played ISA ('01, Las Vegas) they did not take care of the fields. The batter's boxes, in particular, were in awful shape. How often will the fields be dragged? etc.? It isn't our intent to offend anyone but our sponsor isn't willing to spend $ if the players' concerns are not paramount with the TD. It's 2,000 miles from So. Cal so it isn't a 5 hour drive for us. |
| March 7, 2006 modo9999 13 posts | The fields are excellent. We will drag the fields as often as necessary. If you have any concerns call me, Mike O'Donnell Missouri State Director ISA. 314.608.3523 cell 636.343.7876 home |
| March 8, 2006 turn2 489 posts | the wood, thansk, for the info. we also want to play the best competition and also st. louis is only 2 hour flight for us. we would like to see 4 or more teams also. if anyone finds out anymore teams keep us informed. thanks, donnie turn two / rekco / county sports. |
| March 9, 2006 hornachec Men's 55 50 posts | Ruth 55 and Ruth 60 will be at ISA worlds |
| March 9, 2006 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Hey Guys, Not to be a pooper but if I remember correctly, I played in the Black World's in Saint Louis a couple of years ago and we got rained out, around the same time of the year. We got one day in and that was is it. We coin flipped for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Not very satisfying given all the expense and investment of time. |
| March 9, 2006 turn2 489 posts | hornachec, what division is the ruth 55 team? thanks, donnie |
| March 13, 2006 hornachec Men's 55 50 posts | turn 2 right now we are rated major in 55... couple of those who are eligible to move up have decided to play on a new 50's team |
