Discussion: Dumb Question

It's amazing how long a bat will last if you leave it home!

Discussion: Dumb Question

Kevin, is there any difference between orange/yellow and green/yellow spinners?
BTW, yesterday I broke my 10" 30oz senior gear that I got from you. It had more distance than my other bats.
Hope you are doing well.

Discussion: You make the call

I agree with Nancy on 2 and 3 but maybe not 1.
Vegas is notorious for batters boxes being short. Ump should have checked this out before the first pitch. If he didn't then make the call.

Discussion: Mask requirement when using pitching screen

In our 45+ league here in Marietta, GA we use a screen. It is placed with in 18 inches of the rubber and we pitch around it. Masks are not required.
We are also not required to stay behind the screens.
I pitch and know which hitters to stay behind the screen and which ones I can venture out. :)

Discussion: Cataract Surgery

I too had cataract surgery in both eyes about 18 months ago.
I opted for the lenses which only correct far away vision. I still need readers. The surgery sharpened my distance vision and
I would highly recommend it!

Perl, same thing happened to me about a month ago. I was baserunner, catcher tagged me after crossing commitment line. There was no call to I tried to run home. The catcher blocked my way to the scoring plate as he was attempting to reach home plate.
The umpire called me out. I contended that after he tagged me after crossing the commitment line the play should have been called dead.
He disagreed with me. After the game the UIC said should have been dead.
We won the game easily so no problem with us.
Back to your question, umpire is correct.
I believe SPA and SSUSA rules are the same.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.:)

Discussion: 2021 Steve Simmons Memorial/Mosquitoland Classic

Seeing this post made me think of Steve Simmons. I didn't know him well at all. In fact I only met him a couple of times. He and I were on the same 2 man team in SSUSA's home run Derby back when they had 2 persons teamS for the derby.
We ended up winning and he was surprised that he was included since he didn't hit any. I had hit enough to cover both of us.

He seemed like a great guy. Too bad he is no longer with us.

No Lefty, I'll be playing in a FHC tournament in Fl.
RDSinNEOHIO, I would think there would be indoor facilities up north where one could perfect their swing.
