| Oct. 31, 2014 ALLPRO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Passing of Fred Purvis Played with and against Fred for many years. Awesome Power! What everyone has said abot him as an individual is absolutely true! I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. It has been said many times about others but in Fred's case it couldn't be more accurate - " a great player, but an even better person". God Bless, you will be missed! |

| Aug. 12, 2014 ALLPRO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 7 run rule From what I heard two of the "best" 70 Major + teams in the nation failed to hit even ONE home run in Sacramento last week (each played 5 games) I agree with the above post - Home Runs are very difficult to hit in the 70's and in fact if a study was made I don't think there would be one SSUSA tournament in which the allotted 7 was reached by a single team! If I'm not mistaken one of the 70 Major Plus teams did do an analysis of their home runs and determined they had hit a TOTAL of 7 in over 300 ab's in SSUSA competition! If the 70's went to a "one up rule" it would allow the combining of the Major and Major + teams into one division for a much "broader" competitive base. |
| Aug. 2, 2014 ALLPRO | Topic: Bats Discussion: Combat Red 10inch EL I presume then, that this is the "Red Canadian Combat" referred to in the SSUSA response and therefore IS ILLEGAL for use in SSUSA events! |
| Aug. 1, 2014 ALLPRO | Topic: Bats Discussion: Combat Red 10inch EL Yes, they are adamant that it has never been approved by SSUSA. |
| Aug. 1, 2014 ALLPRO | Topic: Bats Discussion: Combat Red 10inch EL Thanks for the responses, but I would like one from SSUSA. The people who think this bat is "illegal" are SSUSA umpires. Thanks! |
| July 31, 2014 ALLPRO | Topic: Bats Discussion: Combat Red 10inch EL Is the Senior Red Combat 10inch barrel that was released several years ago (BPF 1.20) legal to use in Senior Softball? I have heard that it was never approved by SSUSA. Is this true? |
| Oct. 24, 2013 ALLPRO | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 70 eligible Can't play for your team, I live in Vegas but thanks for asking. Looking to hook up with any 70 AAA/Major/Major Plus team going to Bullhead City and or Phoenix from Southern Cal., Nevada or Arizona. |
| Oct. 21, 2013 ALLPRO | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 70 eligible Just saw your other post. Sorry, I can't play any of those positions, only Catch or AH, but I can hit!! Thanks for considering me. |
| Oct. 21, 2013 ALLPRO | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 70 eligible I'm looking to play with a 70's team and would love to go to Phoenix! |

| Sept. 13, 2013 ALLPRO | Topic: Product review Discussion: Softball and hot weather!! We use the very same Trump Rock MCT ball in our Tuesday/Thursday "scrimmages" that LVSSA used in their World tournament for years and that SSUSA/LVSSA used last year and will be using again this year in their LV World Tournament. As I tried to illustrate in my previous post I do not believe this ball is any more "dangerous" than any other ball and believe no ball better performs consistently "in the heat" (we reached 118 degrees this summer and had a stretch of over a week of 110 degrees each day). Relax and enjoy everyone, it's gonna be another GREAT tournament full of outstanding teams and competition! |
| Sept. 11, 2013 ALLPRO | Topic: Product review Discussion: Softball and hot weather!! We have used the ROCK for many years twice a week 52 weeks a year in our Senior "scrimmages" in Las Vegas. We have a mixture of all age groups and all levels from AA to Major Plus. Normally we have 30+ players on 2 separate diamonds participating. On an average of 4 at bats per player each Tuesday and Thursday that we play, that would translate into 480 at bats each week and 24,960 per year! We have had maybe a half dozen minor injures caused by a "batted" ball using the ROCK in all the years we have been using it! I'm sure that ANY ball would have caused just as many or few (depending on whether your an optimist or a pessimist). Once again (like the bats) lots of opinions and speculation, but no facts, documentation or studies to substantiate them! |
| June 11, 2013 ALLPRO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Famous Sports Bat Bag Thanks for your efforts. I e-mailed 68Levi, hopefully it will result in a positive response. I find that a bag that can stand on it's own is very convenient and now I'm spoiled. Worth makes one but it does not perform as advertised and has no fence hooks! The only other one that I know of that stands on it's own is the DeMarini "Black Ops." bag but it is "cost" prohibitive ($200). |
| May 24, 2013 ALLPRO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Famous Sports Bat Bag Anyone know where I can get a Famous Sports roller bat bag? I believe they went out of business. I've tried every Softball site I know of and can't find one like it anywhere. Thanks. |
| Jan. 24, 2013 ALLPRO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Best Pitcher Best Pitcher I ever faced and had the pleasure of playing on the same team with was Sammy Sapienza (sp)of the New York Statesman, bar none. Fierce competitor with a "Herky, Jerky motion that drove hitters nuts! |

| Aug. 24, 2012 ALLPRO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: VEGAS WORLDS 2012 Damn Ron you are getting "grumpy" in your old age! The team I'm on will also be playing at the Cheyenne complex and you will find it much improved since the last time you were there. Maybe I'll get lucky and be able to see you hit a "tater" or two. Take Care and say hi to that lovely wife of yours. |
| Aug. 9, 2012 ALLPRO | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Vegas Sept 28-30 Tournament Can't go wrong with this guy! He is as fast as anyone in this age group and very solid on both defense and offense! |
