60+ Florida 11/10-11/16
(Preview)
I wish this was easier, but... We are one of the most successful msbl leagues, considered nationally. John Reel is reigning MSBL Man of the Year. I was in Phoenix to see him get the award. Cool! John wants us to support MSBL, which has a 60+ division in West Palm Beach 11/10-11/16. We have interest in that...

How Do You Like the 55+ Playoffs?
(Preview)
In the interest of starting a civil conversation, I want to share my observations relating to the 55+ division season and playoff schedule. I think it is important that all of the players within the division have an opportunity to offer their input so the general managers can discuss various topics d...

Ball Four, Revisited
(Preview)
Inspired by the recent thread on our board, I reread Jim Bouton's BALL FOUR. I'd read it as a kid, long ago, and forgot every last detail. I sometimes even wonder whatever happened to that kid. Anyway, the book is fast and funny and I recommend it. What was especially great was coming to that last page and...

Do Over has the same outcome.
(Preview)
Last nights do over game (protest replay), had a very similar result as the original. The replay of the bottom of the 4th saw the Whiz Kids storm back int the game with a collection of well placed singles and two Cubs errors. They plated 5 runs to pull to 8-6 before the Cubs could escape that cursed inning....

Cubs use two home runs to upset the Whiz Kids 8-7.
(Preview)
The Cubs got off to a flying start in this one, building a 7-1 lead over the top seed, in the first two innings. With two outs and nobody on in the top of the first, Mike Girard reached on an error and stole second base. Red hot Ron Lochner singled him home, and Andy Hoyle hit a towering drive over the left fiel...

Rain outs and make ups.
(Preview)
Did the Giants and Dodgers play last night? If not, when and where is the make-up? So I can inform my players, if tonight's Whiz Kids/Cubs game gets rained out (80% chance), when and where would that be made up? Waiting to see what happens with the weather is not prudent, in my opinion. I just want to get th...

Cubs bats awake at the right time!
(Preview)
The Cubs entered their first playoff game losing 6 of their last 7 games, scoring no more than 4 runs in any of those losses. To be fair, we never fielded a full team in any of those games. Last night vs the Cardinals, at New Scotland, it was all hands on deck. Even Jon Martin, who drove 5-1/2 hours from his va...

Capital Division
(Preview)
Moving forward with 60+ CDMSBL baseball: 1. Thanks to Don Ball for getting us going. Saturday Capital Division baseball has been very successful, primarily due to Dons work. Rightfully, Don would like to go fishing instead of organize fields, players, umpires, and teams. Way to go, Don! 2. Next S...
