Hey Scot - I'll have to see what the schedule is - What is the date of the Razorback Earlybird?

I tried to make all the updates - I don't list individual leagues, but I try to list the fields that are used... But your posts will give others access to those league personnel...

So I tried to follow the list at the Lehigh Valley Businessman's site - but their field names & links are somewhat hard to follow...

I think I got them all distributed correctly between the Lehigh County locations & the Northampton County locations...

Thanks for contributiing...

I'll have to see if my league has already started by then - I think it will have but I won't have a schedule until late March...

Hey Scot - My Sunday League starts playing on April 15 - So I'm not going to make it, unless we play the 10/11am games - I'll let you know for sure once I get a copy of the schedule Late March or Early April...

28 Days Until Spring!

That's cool Ken. I'll be there for sure anyway, so when you find out something just let me know.
Hopefully things work out, BP is always fun and always a good thing. :)

Wow nice list Ken. Let me see:

jreeder is still playing tournament ball but he is older and slower and now a catcher
Condo is retired
briandlaw the bobble head is a moderator on bigboy board and lawyering somewhere
69unit, bambam13, and Hackdaddy are all old and in Pittsburgh hopefully still playing senior ball
bainsco and softballjunkie9 are probably married and living in Canada somewhere
halter91 think he plays in Norristown
Dmertz21 was on my league team last year in the Bethlehem league, also plays in Palmer
bigwignj also played in the Bethlehem league last year
cableguy11 Art is living in Colorado and after hip replacement is hopefully playing ball again
The GEMRS Baby! .. is jreeders brother, not sure where he is
gaphitter played in Ephrata back in the day, not sure where he is at

dhess17 Lynnswan88 Robbie no idea. But all were part of the PA Contingent along with bainsco 69unit,
bambam13, Hackdaddy halter91 The GEMRS Baby gaphitter jreeder briandlaw and of course the infamous ImminentDanger
and yours truly :)

not sure who the others are on your list, but some sound familiar.

Same as above, I’m still here I just don’t post often, but read mostly everything. I haven’t played in PA for a couple of years now besides tournaments that take me there. All my leagues and full time travel team are out of jersey. I’m moving to Easton tomorrow, so that may change but probably unlikely. There’s hardly any utrip in PA whereas it’s all over NJ and I enjoy playing that more than ASA.

That's right, you played for Evans Trucking. Don't know why I thought you played in the Bethlehem league. I am
getting old. :confused:

Who you are playing for this year ?

Glad to have you here - If you're playing this year, post up some game info - It's always good to hear what others are doing...

Thanks. I just play for an over 35 league. If I ever feel like embarrassing myself I'll post some details from time to time.

I was out swinging yesterday - Took 120 shots off the tee...

Most were decent line drives with a few pop ups in there...

Morning Gents ......

Question, is there any 40+, 50+ leagues in South Central PA ? Last year was the last year running a team in Hanover and this year, just looking to play outside of Hanover. I did become an ASA Umpire last year which was great and will be umping again this season in Hanover ..... But the need to play is still there .....

Any help would be appreciated .....

I would check the association links at the beginning of this thread - track down the local commissioner & find out what leagues are being covered by their association - Check out any local overXX+ tournaments to talk with guys playing on local teams...

Clarify - You want to play in the Hanover Area? How far from there are you willing to go? For XX+ leagues you may have to get to a larger playing area...

I play in the Mechanicsburg/Harrisburg area - 55+...

Anyone here is State College area that is looking to add a player?

I moved up here a bit ago, took a year off after going to nationals and moving. Looking for a spot to play in the evenings around Centre Region fields.

Depending on the day, may have another friend that would want to join as well.

Played D level ASA, top bracket play in local league. Not afraid of a good game between tough teams.
