Pretty sure DeDonatis played a bit of minor league ball too.

Denny Crine was a pitcher? Is this correct? I would never know that by the way he kills the ball.

 

[The Crimedog]

I'm pretty sure Oil Can Boyd plays softball somewhere as I heard on this board.
Danny Almonte AKA "The Little Unit" from the LLWS years ago was spotted in Long Island playing on a Utrip C team I think.

You forget, most pitchers only stop hitting the ball after college when the pro's want them to focus on one thing. Most pitchers were pretty good hitters in their day.

Omar Dahl plays with a team in Phoenix... He hits it a ton but for some reason plays D/E tourneys... OH and i ran on him hahahaha

Either he wasn't paying attention or his arm was broken if you ran on him.

Eric Byrnes may be the absolute worst pro athlete - turned - sports talk show host ever. He is unbearable.

 

[Captain10]

I played against NASCAR driver Elliot Sadler once. Hes from Emporia which is about an hour and some change south of here. Played against him in a tournament in Nags Head, NC. Not a baseball player but still pretty cool.

 

[bakesta72]

Johnny Estrada plays Slowpitch down in Atlanta. We played his club a few years back in a benefit tournament. Dude crushes but he's a drunk.

 

[Living Legend]

i'll tell you who should be playing slowpitch soon.

adam DONE.

 

[pirates33]

Matt Stairs played a few tournaments in Maine after he retired.

 

[Living Legend]

i think gabe kaplar posted on this site before in a custom glove thread fwiw.

 

[ddoubler]

Isnt it amazing to you all that MLB hitters hit a baseball better than 80% of this board hits a softball? You can sig quote that!

I'd buy his bat.

Dude would be a monster in slowpitch.

 

[Richie B]

Dude would be a monster in slowpitch.

He'd hit balls farther than anyone else. Dude has some of the farthest home runs in MLB history. Canseco can mash in his advanced age. I couldnt imagine Dunn.
