Would be interested in picking up for this (or future) tournament(s)....
Everyday, tournament-tested pitcher, aging into 50's Senior Division in March. Looking to catch on or make contacts with a senior team for upcoming season. Based in B'ham. Can play multiple position(s). Have and still currently play competitive (C/D) league/open/wknd ball (all associations) on the junior circuit.
Pcallan, are you familiar with Ed who directs our senior league in Birmingham? I would love to have a 50's pick-up team from Bham in the tourney.
Can take 2 more teams on Friday; several openings for Saturday.
Looking to pick up with a 50 or 55 team for the weekend. Can only catch or EH right now as I am still recovering from a hip replacement. Normally play outfield but stil a very good hitter and can get around the bases.
Friday, Feb. 26:
10 a.m. F1 Deep South vs. Travelers
F2 Strykers vs. Gadsden Gentlemen
11:15 F1 Deep South vs. Code Blue
F2 Strykers vs. B & D
12:30 F1 Travelers vs. Code Blue
F2 Gadsden Gentlemen vs. B & D
1:45 F1 Strykers vs. Deep South
F2 Gadsden Gentlemen vs. Travelers
3:00 F1 B & D vs. Code Blue
I can still take 2 more teams on Friday; last half of schedule would be revised.
Still need teams for Saturday, Feb. 27--50/55/60's.
What teams are in for Saturday?
Jim, I am waiting through this weekend to see if others contact me about Saturday. Unfortunately, it does not look good and I will probably have to cancel Saturday.
Saturday, for 50's and up is cancelled.
FRIDAY IS STILL SCHEDULED TO PLAY! One of our weathermen here in Birmingham believes that the rain is primarily going to be in north Alabama while another disagrees.
I have talked to the park director and we will make a decision on Thursday. That still gives us plenty of time since the tourney does not start until 10 a.m. and everyone is driving over that morning.
I CAN STILL TAKE 2 MORE TEAMS FOR FRIDAY--65's to 70's.
Weather is not cooperating; rain starting tonight through most of tomorrow. Tourney is cancelled.
