Anybody needs a player for states? Mainly pitch, but don’t mind catching, 1st, or EH. Left bat and arm.

Bar hasn’t been open since Covid and the place is a dump now. They haven’t really kept up with maintenance. Tournament doesn’t draw anymore either. They combined D and C last year and I think it was like 16 teams total.

I feel like most PA tournaments aren’t drawing as many teams now. Idk how it is over there in NJ, but if it’s bigger, I’ll probably start playing there

Coke Classic Memorial Day Weekend in Lewisburg was only like 16 or 18 teams this year. 2 years ago it was 64. 🤷‍♂️

Playing as a pickup for ASA D states tomorrow in Drifton. It’s 7 teams and they charge $10 a car to park now for “field maintenance fees”. Will report back.

$10 to park? That's ridiculous considering last time I was there I saw 2 cars run over the same piece of metal sign post and get a flat tire.

Forgot to report back. Apparently with your $10 parking you got a raffle ticket for a bat raffle. I didn’t win. The bar was still closed. The concession stand was also closed but they had a tent with a grill cooking up breakfast sandwiches and burgers and ****. The fields themselves were in excellent condition and played great all day. The park itself was considerably cleaner than last time I was there. So it looks like it’s heading in the right direction besides all the facilities still being closed.

Bump and old thread...Dirtbag, did you play tournament ball this year? If so, who with?
Nope. I’ve been busy with work and fishing. Fishing and softball has always been a toss up for me. Both come with same drama believe it or not. But the fishing drama is nowhere near bad as the softball drama. But I wanted to get back into the tournament scene

What level tournaments do you think you'd be playing or what level were you last time you played? What positions?

In PA, Asa has a split D division for some reason. Last I played was D2 Asa. Been playing league ball but stopped tournament ball in 2020. Mostly pitch but don’t mind 1st, C, or even EH. Ima fat lefty so I ain’t playing OF lol.

I used to play ASA in PA like 10 years ago. I played with George, Devin, Brian Walker, Chris Bernal, and occasionally Peewee. And of course a bunch of names i can't remember. I think we were the Mudsharks.

You still playing with any of those guys? Eddy, sticks, Chris, Brian?
Eddie moved back to NC. I still play with him occasionally if he comes up here or if I go down there. We're still very tight. He was my Bestman 2 years ago.

Last I heard Bernal moved to NC. Walker stopped playing ball and picked up golf. I butt dialed Stix like 4 years ago. He asked who the hell I was, and when I told him he hung up LOL.

Happy Gilmore vibes. How’s ball in Jersey? Last league I played in was the sports outlet league a few years back. And a couple tourneys in brick a while ago.
Seems like less ego and weaker pitching vs 10 years ago. Don't get me wrong, there's still a ton of "softball guys" and some decent pitchers but it's not like it used to be.
