May 9, 2025 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Doc Doxtader took one in the grill in Prescott Hi Everyone, I wanted to let you know that one of our softball family caught a line drive in the mouth this past Saturday at the softball tournament, as a runner. He needs to have extensive dental work, his name Doc Doxtader. If you’re able to help with his Dental costs in anyway a GoFundMe account has been set up.

He was involved in a major accident in St George. He is recovering and working on getting the schedule out shortly. Prayers for all those involved. |

Oct. 19, 2024 softball4b | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Winter "Worlds" It is actually a fairly simple explanation. Most players have a general idea on what they are going to spend going to a tourney. In my opinion, most tourneys held 300+ miles from your home will cost you approximately between 300 and 700 per person. Plus wear and tear on your body if you try and save money and drive. 6-10 hrs both ways. Don't forget a larger number of players are working past 65. We vote on every tourney we play. We take into consideration the historical number of teams attending, cost per player, and of course our overall health. Overall the cost of attending a tourney has risen every year regardless of the governing party. We are blessed in being an Arizona based team, which gives us opportunity to play year round. My personal research when trying to go to tournaments east of Ms or over 500 miles, my personal costs would have been in excess of $750. Probably the only reasonable suggestion, would be rebranding and change the tournament names. Winter Nationals East and West would be more of an accurate statement of fact. Mike Adair Scorpions 70 |

Timberworks and you have been the standard for our age group for years. We/I have enjoyed every interaction regardless of the outcome. Thank you for your contributions to our sport. If the grandkids weren't spoiled before, look out. Mike Adair |
Aug. 20, 2024 softball4b | Topic: Bats Discussion: Soda Pop Point of order. NSA cannot exceed 1.20, ISA and SSUSA cannot exceed 1.21. If the bat does not exceed 1.20 then theoretically you could pay certification and buy a stamp from all 3. I am not sure, but since certification governing body changed I do not believe the NEW bats from multiple bat manufacturers have 1.21 on them just association sticker. Emphasis on NEW issue bats. No matter Soda Pop is my gamer and is a great bat. Mike Adair |
Aug. 15, 2024 softball4b | Topic: Bats Discussion: failed bats Guys I was talking about this point in time. Over my 50+ years of softball I have seen hundreds of "not OTC" bats. But in my area in my age group not as prevalent. I quit playing kids league because there was not a legal bat there plus my diminishing ability. As hard as it is at my age I was trying to stay on point. It will take a couple of years for this to get worked out. |
Aug. 14, 2024 softball4b | Topic: Bats Discussion: failed bats 36, maybe in the part of the country where you are, but in the southwest I have thought maybe 5 bats were "different" than OTC bats. We play 65 and 70 so a pretty good sampling. So a "lot" seems to be an exaggeration. I can see testing at worlds to be a logistic nightmare. 30-45 seconds each bat. Every player has 2+ bats, 20+ minutes per team, 6+ locations. Discussions regarding a particular bat pass/fail 15 minutes. Stickers for good bats, bats used in game, no sticker. Yep everyone is going to have to have patience, good luck with that. Tongue in cheek, I have 10 bats, I may bring them all just to get them tested. If they pass I may start selling them at the park.
