AAA...american arbitration association
Gary19,

you certainly are no dummy, as you continue to defend yourself admirably against the rest of the message board posters. i agree with a few of your positions on the state of senior softball.

let me play mediator for a moment...how about you publish your complete, unabridged manifesto on senior softball - the good, the bad, and the ugly, along with any recommendations to improve the game. we will ask SSUSA to place it at the top in red, up there with all of their important messages. This way, if you want to comment on a particular thread, you can just write "see my manifesto above" one time per thread, and lay in wait for the next thread.

this is not meant to be censorship, but merely a possible solution as a way to keep threads on point and more streamlined

I doubt Joe would be dragged anywhere unwillingly. But that 'trip' to see and try to read a doc with hieroglyphics that is unmeaning full at its best, wouldn't be worth it.
One think I do know he loves the game, plays about any position in\on the field and does it well.

I think anyone here could write it for G19 it would go like this..

I hate Senior softball Rules and regs.
I hate Senior bats
I hate pinch runners
I hate no sliding at home rule
I hate 5 run inning rule
I hate the number of teams in a Tourney
I hate the all the divisions
I hate rankings
I hate the Mat
I hate the 0ne in one count
I hate anything to protect the pitcher
I hate not being able to record three outs on defence
I hate that there are Seniors having a great time with out me!
I cannot believe that the senior game is so different from the game I played in the 70s and 80s.
I hate giving runs to teams in lower divisions
I hate giving a team a extra player to a team in a lower division.
I think all the lower division team should get creamed by the upper division teams
I hate the time limits
I basically hate every aspect of Senior Softball!

swing actually with some exceptions, and maybe the word "hate" is a bit strong, you are pretty accurate there.

Pinch runners are fine, "courtesy" runners as now used are absurd.

Anyone is welcome to a great time, with or without me.

Giving runs and players to a lower team is not nearly as bad as the lack of pride involved in taking them, and then claiming a "win" when you won because of them.
