I know I am. Can't wait for April....

I know it's not the free agent section, but if anyone is looking for a team near Norristown let me know. Actively recruiting....

Thanks for checking in.

With the cold & wet weather keeping me from taking any BP, this down time feels even longer.

Good luck finding players - It seems there are less teams each year.

Ken. I'm going to the 2019 Spring Razorback, They already have 58+ teams, so it should be a good one.
Let me know if you are going to make it. I'll bring my stuff for bp. Oh and text me your number, my phone died
and I lost most of my contacts … like a dumbass I didn't have them saved to my sim card. Lesson learned.
I've recovered almost all of them so far, just a few more softball related ones to get.

Great to hear from you Scot!

That would be great - We'll see how that works out...

As was the case last year, we'll already be playing double-headers on Sunday by that weekend...

Are you playing this year?

I plan on playing in the Senior league. I started hitting homeruns again towards the end of the season. My younger
brother and I got together a few times for what we call "chuck and duck" and just try to hit the ball as hard as we can.
It helped me finally get that E/D tournament ball swing out of my head and wound up killing the ball last 5 games in the
Senior league. Hit 2 out in that span came close like 7 other times and am finally pulling the ball to left again.

We'll stay in touch, the tournament isn't till April 26th.

Don't have a FAKEbook account - never will...

Good for you - Last year was a disaster for me hitting wise - I'm looking forward to another chance to clean that up this year...

I'm still hoping some of our past posters stop by to chime in this year...

Well - I finally got out to take some swings today - The temp was above 40 and it hasn't rained in 3 days...

The ground wasn't exactly dry - actually, it was still a bit frozen from overnight - but there was enough grass to stay up, out of the mud, as long as I only took six hits from each spot - then moved over to hit six more in another grass area...

Anyway - I hit 120 shots off the tee - It was nice to get some swings...

My Sunday League team broke up - so I'm now looking for another team in the same league...

We'll see if that works out good or bad for me making the RB tournament...

Good luck with your search. Too bad you don't live near me, I'd get you on our league team. Great bunch of guys,
who have fun, but compete hard every game.

You're right about that snow, but remember we've had big snow in April, and that thought is depressing right now. :(

Looks like another week without 50° weather... It only warms up enough to rain... :(

We played mainly Tuesdays and/or Thursdays, once in awhile Monday. Wednesdays were out due to the 35 and over league using the same fields. This year will be about the same, slightly less as one team dropped out.

He definitely desrves it - We're certainly having 6-more weeks (from GHD) of winter weather!

I'm beginning to feel like a bear - hibernating for the winter - Can't do anything outside without 3-layers of clothes and an umbrella!!!

lol...now several new inches of snow on the ground and very cold weather coming.

Thanks, I will send a note to Chris as I think he is the director for this one.

This is usually a big event and you never know what team will have what with it being an open. I haven't played in this one in about 8 years when we took third. I hope they improved the fields and pushed the fences back a bit to make them 300 ft, but even if not I am looking forward to it. I retired Army as well, along with a few others I will be playing with. We are a very friendly team, unless people start to show their end and then the military fire comes out, lol. I'm sure you will be able to pick us out. See you out there.

Hey Scot - At this point I'm available for the 28th (Sunday) to hang out for some games...

My Sunday team from last year broke up and I'm without a team at the moment (still hoping that changes)...

You planning to come down on Sunday - Around noon?
