2015 Border Battle

[KraigP26]

I'm sure he's a great guy and huge respect to any one in uniform! Still a very unfortunate name.

Like that actor from the 60s or 70s, Peter O'Toole ......Imagine 2 names both referencing a pecker

 

[louconn]

my girl is canadian so there is always a border battle going on in my pants.

Is this going to be televised this year or streamed like last year?

 

[ns09]

Only about a hour and a half away from Midland may have to go watch a few games

My guess is it will be streamed, ESPN picked it up in the past because the were there already for the fast pitch. I don't believe there is fast pitch this year just like last.

Cant wait. Last year was a great time! The players are really cool and down to earth guys. doesnt hurt its only an hour away from my house!

 

[bartxe]

how come there arent any guys from Resmondo on the team?

 

[WillW3]

Any word on if the games will be streamed?

I'm sure he was given a hard time as a kid and even as a young Airman. He's a CMSgt retired from the Air Force, I didn't have any problems asking him a question 11 years ago when he was an assistant coach for the All Air Force team. Props to both Chief Raper and Pup for representing our our country while wearing a different uniform.

Both are real good guys and very easy (don't go spastic over trivial ****) on the game.

I was at Eglin 11 years ago for the Armed Forces Championship.

I guess mammoth home runs put butts in the seats, but I would rather see a game of skill and speed than watch yet-another-HGH-monster mash one out and walk to the dugout.

I agree. Home run derby can become boring real quick. There should always be some level of a limit on HRs.

Has anyone been to one of these? I plan on making the drive there on Wednesday. Wondering if they will have shirts/hats for purchase, food at stadium, etc.

The dudley hycon zn 52/300 I am assuming??? And that's crazy to see a 375-400 ft bomb with a 52/300! I have hit a few in the 330-340 range with a 52 and I got ALLLLLL of it, just amazes me adding another 60-70ft on that!! Oh and thanks for the link chudder...

Those Dudley Hycons fly. I have a few in my BP bag and we've hit them in the 340' to 350' range. To hit it 400' is amazing freakin' power.

 

[mattya420]

Last years event was great. Canadian teams played great, the fans were amazing. Hopefully Michigan can repeat last years success.

 

[JBT2020]

They've been using those balls for the last two or three years I believe. I can't hit it that far, but that's another reason why I chuckle when guys say things about the LHB not being impressive because of thin bats and golf balls. These guys do similar things in games with 52s so, yeah, I'm impressed.

I agree. Hitting softballs 400' with those more restricted flight softballs is amazing. I think the ones they use on tour are 53 cor 600 comp.
