| Jan. 14, 2023 Duke | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Definition of Altered Softball My only experience with an iced down ball, was not acknowledged by the umpire. The other team tossed in an iced ball for me to pitch. I instantly complained it was altered, and threw the ball to the umpire. The umpire said pitch it or we could call over the Director for determination. At this tournament, the Director was too far away, and would have taken 15 minutes away from our game. I declined and said lets play. The umpire said let's play ball. On my first pitch, I hurled it as far as I could into foul territory, and said to the umpire...ball one. The opposing team laughed and threw in a legitimate ball. Even the umpire laughed. |
| Jan. 1, 2023 Duke | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Quality player from CA looking to join a 65s AAA team in the Western Region. Hey Tim, This is Andy Smith. Hope you are doing well, and glad to see your interest in senior tournaments continuing. Any 65 AAA team would be thrilled to acquire a player with your talents. Tim hits the ball hard and with some pop. He has excellent speed and plays outfield with a strong and accurate throwing arm. Definitely a quality player and a team player. Let me know the lucky team that picks you up, and maybe there will be room for me to join you sometime the end of April or May. I had some nagging injuries the past 2 years, but all better now. You should have no problem finding a team quickly. Happy New Year!! Andy |
| Sept. 5, 2022 Duke | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2023 Schedule Shooter & Jawood, I answered this a bit hastily. My previous reply was an answer to when the 2023 season begins. To answer this correctly, the first available tournament is the 3rd week of November, which is the Phoenix Worlds, and the schedule for 2023 is traditionally completed some time between November and the end of 2022. Sorry about that. |
| Sept. 5, 2022 Duke | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2023 Schedule Probably more accurately, it begins right after all the divisions are completed at the Vegas Worlds. The first big tournament for 2023 is around the 3rd week of November in Phoenix, AZ. |
| June 18, 2022 Duke | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Check the 60AA schedule Hi Dave, I think the 60AA scheduling may wrong? Advil Knights playing 4 seeding games. Andy |
| June 2, 2022 Duke | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: looking to join a team for Vegas Worlds in September BTW Rod, you left off an important piece of information about yourself. I know you are a consistent .800 hitter. Andy |
| June 2, 2022 Duke | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: looking to join a team for Vegas Worlds in September Hey Rod, Your post looks just like mine. LOL! Maybe we will both get on the same team for the Vegas Worlds. Good luck, Andy |
| June 1, 2022 Duke | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: LOOKING TO PLAY IN THE VEGAS WORLDS IN SEPTEMBER My name is Andy Smith. I am from California and age 72. Without going into details, I have not been able to hook up with a 65 or 70 team. In addition, I now have work obligations the week of the 65's/70's in September. Therefore, I am looking to hook up with a 60AA team for the Vegas Worlds. I had a couple of injuries the past 2 years, and only played 2 tournaments during the Covid-19 era, but did play many league games weekly. As of today, I am all healed now and ready to play. If at the last minute, your team is in need of a player at the 60AA level only, I would be happy to help out. I am rated as a 70 Major player, which is the same rating as a 60AA player. I can play 1B, Catch, or DH. I used to pitch, but did not during the past 2 years, because of my injuries, so not sure if that is an option now. I do not hit home runs any longer, but can hit the ball far enough, if the OF is playing shallow. When healthy, I usually can hit between .700 and .900. Again, just looking to play 60AA only, in the September Vegas Worlds, if you find yourself short of players. Not interested in playing the rest of the current season, due to these ridiculous gas prices. For now, I am content to play 2-4 games per week locally. Thank you, Andy |

| Aug. 30, 2021 Duke | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Can a player run for another one twice in one inning? B.J. You are probably correct. I read the question incorrectly, since he went in as a sub for player C, not a CR. Thank you! Andy Smith |
| Aug. 30, 2021 Duke | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Can a player run for another one twice in one inning? BTW, I do not believe the courtesy runner can bat for player C in the same inning that he ran for player A. Andy Smith |
| Aug. 30, 2021 Duke | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Can a player run for another one twice in one inning? Garyhitter59 is 100% correct! A courtesy runner may be used for a base runner at any time, but the same courtesy runner may not be used more than once per inning. Rule 8.5(1). Andy Smith |
| June 25, 2021 Duke | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Cal Cup? Thank you Dave! |
| June 25, 2021 Duke | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Cal Cup? Who won in the 65's and 70's? Thank you, Andy |
| June 4, 2021 Duke | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ROCK 'N RENO CHALLENGE...BRAVO !! 65 Major results are now back. Thank you! |
| June 4, 2021 Duke | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ROCK 'N RENO CHALLENGE...BRAVO !! correction, "currently on no team this year/season." |
| June 4, 2021 Duke | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ROCK 'N RENO CHALLENGE...BRAVO !! Dbax, The only 65 major scores that I can see right now are the seeding games. They did have most of the bracket scores up, but now all the bracket scores are gone for 65 Major. I already reloaded 4 times. 65 Major Plus, AAA, and AA are complete. If you have it all, then maybe you can copy and paste it here for us, thanks. Andy Smith, Currently on no team year. OK to play 65AAA, 70AAA, or 70 Major. |
| June 4, 2021 Duke | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ROCK 'N RENO CHALLENGE...BRAVO !! sbsoftball30, exactly what I was going to ask. It disappeared yesterday. |
| April 28, 2021 Duke | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Any team going to Reno need 2 outfielders in the 70 age group Your wife is absolutely correct. You are a great hitter, great fielder, fast runner, and a team player! JMHO Andy |
