Jan. 15, 2025 NYGNYY | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Clarification for pop-up caught by catcher rule LMR. Great point regarding dead ball. If a catch happens to track down a foul pop up and is going away from the plate say toward the first base dugout and less than one out runner on 3rd. Why wouldn’t that runner be able to try and tag up and out run the catcher or pitcher to home/scoring line. I hope this makes sense. |
Jan. 11, 2025 NYGNYY | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Idea Why not and let’s play singles only game on little league fields. Anything over the fence is an out. Bases at 60. Works for me. Lol |
Dec. 11, 2024 NYGNYY | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Bat Warmers Just was told last night that if you change the grip on a bat and use bat tape/athletic tape it’s considered alternating the bat. Is that true? The person also said that if you add one of those rubber grips on the handle it’s also considered alternating it. These 2 things can’t be considered alternating a bat. |
Nov. 22, 2024 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ball for 2025 Following up on 9 ball. I reached out to Baden recently and this is their response: Thank you for your email. The SPFIRESEN-01 is the preferred softball for SSUSA and other senior leagues. Currently the cover material is not changing. We appreciate your feedback, and I’ll forward it to our baseball/softball category manager. |
Nov. 21, 2024 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ball for 2025 The ball performs just fine my issue at 70 is that the cover gets real dirty quickly and blends in with the dirt all the time. It becomes very difficult to see even during the day. No need to reply you can clean them….we’re talking about the other team’s ball. Baden should do something to improve this issue. Like with bats everyone is trying to improve durability and performance. Baden should be held to the same standards. IMO |

Aug. 21, 2024 NYGNYY | Topic: Bats Discussion: Soda Pop It’s my go to bat. I used it in Rocky Mountain this past weekend. I have 2 grey wigs, 2 Sin City and a Blue Grass. Have to put more swings on the Blue Grass before I comment but I’m a Short Porch guy. |

Feb. 20, 2024 NYGNYY | Topic: Bats Discussion: Senior Bats I highly recommend you look at Short Porch’s lineup of senior bats and YouTube videos. IMO they are the best out there. |
Feb. 3, 2024 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Baden Senior Softball I recall sometime last year there was some discussion about the Baden Senior Softball cover. The ball performance is fine IMO however it gets slick and dirty in a very short period of time. In most cases our team just buys additional replacements. Wasn’t Baden working on improving the cover? |
Jan. 8, 2024 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Commitment Line question This question comes up in our local league all the time. And we use both 65 and 70 foot bases. Can’t wait to get the answer on this one. |

Dec. 4, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Softballs This past weekend I played in a local tournament in Tucson. A rumor was going around about a new softball for 2024. That the Baden was being replaced, any truth to this rumor? I like the Baden performance but the cover sucks IMO. |
Nov. 30, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Moving to villages fl. Plenty of Senior teams at the Villages playing daily. Also you should contact Florida Half Century League they will be helpful. From there you’ll get to know the traveling teams in the area. Good luck |

Sept. 30, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Winter Worlds Phoenix Now that the Worlds in Vegas are coming to an end…and thank you, it was fun. Can we get some information on what fields are going to be used in Phoenix? I don’t need age groups and field assignments, just looking for which fields. Thanks |
Sept. 5, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Courtesy Runner? Dave--this is not a runner replaced. I understand that, this is a courtesy runner for someone else, they then come to bat and get on...can they have a courtesy runner. Thanks D2 |
Sept. 5, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Courtesy Runner? Same inning. If you run for someone else, then come to bat and get on. Can you have someone else run for you all with the courtesy runner rules? Thanks much appreciated. If the answer is no can you point me to the rule and section. |
