Discussion: 11 on defense

Why is there a sudden hatred of offense? It isn't as if many guys when they get older all of sudden start hitting the ball harder and in the gaps. This suggestion isn't a good one unless you suddenly stopped taking care of yourself and need to depend on making the game worse because you're not up to the challenge.

Not the worst tournament but the prize given if you win is a g-d awful red hat with a crab on it. Sorry but that is seriously bad

Ir was in Cape Coral for the FHC tournament and like I said it was a terrific ball, everyone should enjoy it.

I am very happy to say that we played this weekend with the new Stote ball and it was great. It is very similar to the Tattoo and is a really good ball. Thanks to the director of FHC for switching to that ball, it was great.

I truly hope this ball replaces the turd Trump Stote ball in Florida Half Century league. They use their garbage ball for their tournaments and to add insult to injury they only use 1 or 2 new balls per game. They force the teams to pay the money for the entry fee and then teams can't even throw in a new ball or buy new balls to use. It's the worst of all worlds. I hope this message gets through to the commissioner and he sees that all other associations use a better ball and newer balls that teams can throw in

Discussion: Stealing other teams Softballs

Count yourself lucky as you could be playing down in Florida in the Half Century association. They use the worst Trump Stote ball and to make it worse they only provide 1-2 balls per game for both teams. You cannot buy any new balls to use nor will they provide anymore new balls. When you bring up the idea to allow teams to buy new balls to use in games these old geezers look at you like you just stole their SS check....

This is pure sarcasm at it's finest. Well said and the beauty of it,is that the people that this was intended for will probably still be oblivious to it's points...

I have a lot of respect for SSUSA in this particular situation it's pretty obvious it's a money thing to the organization situation that is occurring. That has to be the answer on why the ball which is not liked by most people is being kept and won't be replaced.

Discussion: Florida leagues and equipment

I was wondering if I could get info on the typical senior leagues in South Florida. Are they using senior bats there and does the heat really sap the balls badly or do they use a good ball? Thanks

I don't have any dog in this fight but I would simply say I would invite any team we play to use an extended over a senior bat 100% of the time.

Discussion: Pretty sad

It's a political situation and those who are connected are too scared to admit what they did and instead remain comfortably anonymous cloaked with their clout. They know who they are and they are backstabbers who were more then happy to use their connections for their own benefit. I would like to be more direct however the risk of ruining future ball for a lot of guys isn't fair to them. It's not right what's going. However for the record even though we're going the short end of the deal, we're men and won't run from a challenge because that's not what competitiveness is about. We just wished we would be judged the same way as any other team would and the criteria for moving was the same. We love the senior game and enjoy playing.

Posting on here because the other associations don't have a forum and is directed to only a certain few weasels. This is directed to the pathetic jealousy of certain managers and state directors who when they had certain players on their own teams played politics to keep their team in a lower level yet when the players leave to go to another team then all of sudden they are calling directors to get the new team moved up. Your pathetic and don't have the manhood to speak directly to people and instead go behind their backs to cry to the associations. When you use your political clout to get the rules changed that all other teams are governed by and held standard to, your nothing but a sniveling coward.

Discussion: Homerun - Hit and Sit

Absolute total fact, when we were in Vegas a few years ago our guy hit a HR and brought his bat down to 1st and was called out. The rules may be stated but clearly the umps said otherwise. SSUSA should send a reminder to umps

Are teams allowed to bring their own balls to the tournament as long as they are the same ones being used?
