| Dec. 20, 2018 MartyM | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: co-ed Well Nancy, speaking strickly for my wife and I, She sometimes travels with me, sometimes not for Softball, she seldom goes to the games but is fully supportive of me. In return, all trips involve many deviations to quilt stores. As you have probably noted, I'm trying to form a 75's team here in Wisconsin and just added that I would welcome any ladies that would like to play with us. If a significant other is included, well, guess I would need to have them sign a non-nuclear agreement. And, it's actually very warm here, mid/upper 30's. Walking dogs every day is a muddy mess. |
| Dec. 19, 2018 MartyM | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Wisconsin Oshkosh Ambassadors forming new 75's team Another update, if we do move to AAA then our "3 exceptions" become Majors. AND, another interesting option which I would seriously consider is, according to rule 4.2 C, women, if otherwise qualified, can play on a mens team. Ladies, give me a call or email. Thanks Marty |
| Dec. 19, 2018 MartyM | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: co-ed Intersting sideline to this question, If you note in rules 4.2 C women, if otherwise qualified, may play on mens teams. Not actually co-ed. I've never seen it, but having watched some of the women's games, I could see some fun benefits of this rule. |
| Dec. 6, 2018 MartyM | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Wisconsin Oshkosh Ambassadors forming new 75's team Update to elgible players: Since we are a 75's team located East of the Mississippi we can accept any player who resides East of the Mississippi. Players must be either AA or AAA rated during current season and one prior season. If we exceed the "3 exception" rule on having AAA players then we will become a 75's AAA team. Thanks Marty |

| July 26, 2013 MartyM | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 4-Game Miinimum? Whats with this new 4-game minimum? First Rochester, now I see Elgin(WindyCity) is 4. 5 was sort of acceptable, but 4 is really marginal for expense of travel for a 2 day tournament. Opinions? Explanations? |

| July 18, 2012 MartyM | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: PLAYER RELEASE Wes-Go for it. I think you have a good idea. I'm one of the Players that asked for and received a release after the 1st tournament of the year simply because I was the only player on the team that did not get to play and never got an explanation/apology/nothing. It was painful as I had developed a great relationship with the players. Luckily I found another team to play with. But, I am only getting to play 4 or 5 tournaments. I would love to play a few more and the opportunities exist except for the fact that I can only play for one team. If my team isn't going to a tournament and there is another team that is short a player, I sure would like to be able to play. Never know when the end will arrive and I can't. |
| Feb. 2, 2012 MartyM | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Veteran CORE thread..... If you are like me, I want to see this company/bats succeed. I'm a "MadeInUSA" proponent. If part of the problem is also finances of a startup, Those who really want a bat could step up to the plate, like me, and offer to pay for a bat right now. Assuming the bat is around $200 and 100 of us stepped up, 20 Grand just might help. Marty martym@tds.net |
| Nov. 29, 2011 MartyM | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: IF YOU HAD CATARACT SURGERY DONE: I had both eyes done in 2005 approximately 3 weeks apart. Early diagnosis was cataracts, particularly in lower left of left eye which destroyed my backhand in racquetball. I opted for the crysta-lenses even though I did not have insurance and the cost was about $3500 per eye. I wore bifocal glasses prior to the surgery. I didn't quite make full 20-20 but do not need glasses except for computer work(special low power 24" focal length) and over the counter low power magnifiers for reading small print. My right eye is a bit better than my left. Regarding sports: For racquetball I am fine using clear over-the-counter safety glasses. For softball, I do better on receiving hits straight at me and to my left. Typically on hits to my right I have to remember to "stretch" more as the ball is usually a bit farther than I think. For batting, I really need to concentrate on the ball and be patient since I bat left handed. So IMHO-Go for the crysta-lenses. It's a one time shot for the rest of your life, ignore the cost, look to the future. It is a decision I have never regretted. If you want details on the actual lenses and surgery I'll be glad to post. Marty Meyers-Green Bay WI. martym@tds.net |
