Ready to do my time.......


I am ready to serve my minimum 8 game sentence to participate in this years 55 division...Ronnie Maz has assured me the conditions are not too bad...and the prospect of being a "free man " in 2019 should help me persevere.....

Happy New Year

Jonny

Hopefully you can get your sentence commuted!
Love to have you join us on the Platinum Marlins, without the threat of not being able to play if we aren't the ones to draft you.
It is America, after all.

Best of luck Jonny. Hopefully you will stay healthy and will be able to make more than the 8 game minimum with whatever team you land with. You'll have a great time in the 55's regardless.

Yup! Another glowing endorsement for the draft restrictions enforced only in the 55+ division.

Herb - Imagine if rock bands could only get new members by choosing from a draft pool. It's your turn to pick ... and I am the only one left in the draft pool. That's how bad it is!biggrin

Good point Don. The Beatles would have been stuck with Pete Best. Ringo would have been selected by Hermans Hermits.

Mommy,can I go out and play with my friends???
No, but what you can do is get in the car and I am going to drive you over to the other side of town and let you out so you can experience playing with kids you don't know.
Don't worry,mommy knows what's best for you.
After all,you're playing aren't you??
And you will maybe even make some new friends.
C
Because that's what you need in your life at 60,new friends.
Who wants to be stuck with the same old friends you've had for years?

All kidding aside,I can't believe that there are actually people who think they should be the one's to decide who you play with.
Also can't believe that there are members who would allow this nonsense to continue.
55 to 60 ish aged men being told you can't play with your buddies?
Same people who want a draft to even things out,are the same ones who like to tell you they are playing at this age for the love of the game.what a joke.you can't have it both ways. This is what happens when you let the kids who never got picked for dodgeball till they were the only ones left try to weasel their way into the rule making process..You all should just shut up and be thankful there is something for you to do other than looking in from the outside at other people having a good time seeing old friends and playing the game they love. Why don't you try enjoying yourself and if you are unhappy,I got two words for you.
Kick ball.

Jonny, you shouldn't have to serve. You did nothing wrong - unless, of course, wanting to play with your longtime teammates is wrong!
