    Considering I was 2nd on my class "b" team in homeruns at only 5'11 185lbs {the 1st place guy was 6'5 300lbs} considering I was only 150lbs and could clear 300 fences at the age of 16 with sub par metal bats 15 years ago, considering that I regularly cleared fences even with winds blowing in, considering I can swing a 33ounce wood baseball bat bat quicker than most guys can swing a wiffle ball bat {that might be a slight exaggeration}I'll play LF and be good with that. [:D][:D][:I][^][:p][:)][8][}:)][:X] By the way go ahead and ask about the arm.......

    Piss off. I don't get involved in sports. I make fun of the people who do. If I were 1st base ump, I'd be sitting there in one of those folding lawn chairs reading a book and calling "safe" and "out" at random intervals as I notice people running past me. And Lord help the person that runs into me.[:(!][}:)]

    Like for instance a Beachmaster to me is a perfect pick for catcher[:o)] You should be team owner kimi for the uncanny ability to match player to position.

    You'd do fine, Zulu, I'm sure, however, we can't have any disgruntled umps(!) so EMM will have to call 1st and 2nd. [;)][:o)]

    I pithced fast pitch in High school, and I am a pretty fair under hand slow pitcher. I can also do the cather (As long as knees hold out), and first base since I have the glove.[:D]

    Never played softball much, but sure did baseball.
    T-ball all the way through the end of HS.
    I mainly pitched, but also played first, and shortstop.

    Oh well,.......ya take what you get![:D]

    12" or 16" softball?
    I'll be the coach. I retired last night after 3 seasons of coaching girls fast pitch softball (ages 13-16) I never won the play-off championship, but we won 2nd place in the play-offs 3 years straight and the girls all had fun! 1st place regular season all three years too!! Undefeated in the regular season last year!! 16-0.
    I don't think I'm a good play off coach!

    Those who can do and those who can't coach!!! I'm in.

    Long story made very short...I coached a girls college team for a couple of years. It was a good time..learned how to play small ball so this lineup better learn to place the ball and run the bases. No station to station base running here. We are taking every extra base we can and we'll leave a trail of bodies to get it done.[;)]

    btw I have serious reservations about the ball boys...we don't have time to sit around and debate every issue and I don't think we'll be able to keep them separated.[8D]

    Center is perfect for the 8 armed spider[:D]
    Forget trying out for left as you mentioned there is already a shoe in for that position.

    Yup...That was with a Demarini Juggernaut 34/32.

    Those balls sounud like sponges when you hit em. We crushed some Red Dots to 380 - those balls fly like baseballs.

    I smashed one the other night. Then my next at bat I had a pitch to go to right field with, took the hardest swing of my life and missed. I stopped after spinning 180 degrees facing my own dugout. A couple guys fell down like they were blown over. It was hilarious. Of course my bat speed is about 110mph. My golf club head speed used to be 128mph.

    Yeah, we use a Miken 98 (34/30) and a Miken NRG (34/28)
    Also have

    Demarini Juggernaut 34/32
    Demarini Bruiser 34/32
    Demarini Doublewall 34/32
    Worth Wiked 34/28
    Combat Throttle 34/27

    Numerous other "cheaper" bats.

    We have a wood bat we plan on taking to the Tourney. All bats are allowed there. We only have ASA "98mph" bats.
