Carlos May's Birthday

So... Ok you ask, who's Carlos May?  Carlos was a famous White Sox and Angels player from the 60's and 70's who is, at least as far as I know, the only player to have his birthday on the back of his shirt. His uniform number was 17 of course.
 
Despite the great weather, we had our smallest group of the summer with 34 players reporting in. I believe we would have reached four teams if not for all those players on injured reserve. But what the heck, we divided up into three teams, assigned three new managers to run them, and played one heck of a three team game. Team Reagan hit first and scored two runs when Freddie Gonzalez started things off with a double.Team Toro and Team Lopez both went four and out. Advantage Team Reagan. The second inning saw Team Reagan go three and out then took the field and with some rather questionable fielding allowed Team Toro to take the lead as Chamlee,Wise and Radlein all scored. In the bottom of the inning, Team Lopez again failed to score.

The power drain of Team Reagan continued through the next four innings as they managed to score only four runs during that span. Call it bad hitting, poor base running, or outstanding fielding by Team Lopez but runs were few and far between. Team Toro on the other hand put up five runs in the third to build a comfortable lead, Maybe they thought an insurmountable lead, and started to coast a little early. By doing so they failed to score in the fourth and fifth innings. So after losing the lead to Team Lopez who managed to score at least two runs in the third,fourth, and fifth innings: Manager Toro had a team meeting with the result being five runs in their part of the sixth. Having regained the lead and then losing it, Team Lopez put on an awesome display of hitting as Larry Grabb hit a homer and Jeff Simon and Jimmy Laffoon both hit triples as they quickly scored  five runs.

Going into the final inning, the score was Team Reagan 5, Team Toro 13, and Team Lopez 12. Team Reagan started out with five straight hits. Unfortunately poor base running shut the rally down and they were only able to score three runs. With the top of their line up coming the bat, Team Toro took advantage and scored the first two runners. They managed to put three more base runners on but a smooth double play snuffed out the rally. They still held a three run lead over  Team Lopez and showed great confidence as they took the field. Obviously Manager Lopez knew what he was doing as the middle of the line up started off the inning and were pretty impressive. The first three batters each got on and scored (Hill,Byrd, and Thompson) Sammy Lopez then got on and was moved to third on Jimmie McPartlan's hit. With two outs and Sam on third Dennis Borowicz drilled the game winner through the infield. Final score Team Lopez 16, Team Toro 15, and Team Reagan 8.

Lincoln Shot!

Yep, and I don't mean that Ron's car has finally given up the ghost.  Booth shot and mortally wounded President Lincoln at Ford's Theater on this day in 1865.  On the other hand ...

What a beautiful day to play softball (is there a bad day?) The National Leaguers played on Gessler Field and had quite a game. The game started with Larry Chrest hitting a double and putting up the first run of the game. Team Mundy responded with four runs while sending ten batters to the plate. Claude Hearn's home run was the catalyst for the outburst.  Both teams scored the same number of runs respectfully in the second. The score being 8 to 1 it looked like it was going to be a blow out.

I guess you should never count your chickens too early as  Team Mundy scored nine runs in the next three innings with  the top of the order scoring all the runs. In the meantime Duff Hill managed the lone run for Team Moots. Team Mundy scored four runs over the next three innings off clutch hitting and a big triple by Wayne Mundy  Team Moots managed to keep the game tied by scoring five runs during the same period, aided by a triple by Ron Thompson.

So going into the last inning  the score was tied. Team Mundy managed four runs off triples by Bill Miller and Dick Sessick to build a substantial lead. Things looked promising as Team Moots got their first runner on. Unfortunately it was then three and out. Final score: Team Mundy 18 and Team Moots 14. Winning pitcher was Ray Mills

Top performers include:

Duff Hill    5 for 6

Claude Hearn    5 for 6 with a home run

Frankie Accevedo    5 for 6

Ron Thompson    4 for 5 with a triple

Wayne Mundy    4 for 4 with a triple

Bill Miller    4 for 5 with a triple

Vassier Bess    4 for 5

The American League match up was called the KC (Kansas City) Connection. Opposing managers were Freddie Gonzalez and Kirk Coffman. As a spectator, the outlook for a good game was in doubt from the onset when the score was  10 to 2 after the second inning. Team Coffman managed one run in each of the first two innings while Team Gonzalez put up five in the bottom of the same innings. In the third Team Coffman scored six runs and were looking pretty awesome until they were bit by the poor base running bug (that bug bit them in three other innings with the same devastating effect).Team Gonzalez appeared to be unstoppable as they but up five more in the bottom of the third.

The next three innings looked like Team Coffman might make a game of it by outscoring Team Gonzalez seven to three. Again, poor base running took Team Coffman out early in each of those innings. Only trailing by three runs and the top of the line up coming to the plate, it looked like there was a light at the end of the tunnel and victory was near at hand. Alas, three and out resulted in an early exit as Team Gonzalez cemented the victory without having to bat in the ninth.

Outstanding performers include:

Kirk Coffman    4 for 5 with a double

Russ King        4 for 5. with a double

Dennis Sylvester    3 for 4

Herbie O    3 for 4

Freddie Gonzalez    3 for 5 with two doubles

Mother's Day Friday

As Yogi would say "It's like deja vu all over again' ... some days are like that especially on the softball diamond.

 

The Short Porch

With Winter Haven Fitness Day taking most of the complex we were limited to fields A and E. The National League contingent was assigned to Field A where the outfield fences measured a mere 210 feet. You can imagine the gleam in the eyes of some of the hitters as they could see ball after ball clearing the fence and them doing the Jacobson trot around the base path. Well, we burst their bubble by instituting a few new rules for the game. The first was ground rule doubles for balls over the fence, second was that the extra fielder could play anywhere since we were playing with ten fielders, and thirdly (and totally by accident) we implemented the flip flop rule incorrectly. The last one was okay as everyone was pretty much spent what with providing coaches, umpires, runners for other folks, and then a fielder to the opposing team. Having said all that the game and sportsmanship was great and everyone had a good time.

The game started with Team Marino (yes he was one of today's managers) getting off to an early two run lead on solid hitting by Thompson and Marino. Team Mundy responded scoring 5 runs as the first five batters scored. Duff Hill planted his first of two over the fence.

You can't say it better than that Eddie

Team Marino did not bat an eye as they responded in kind as Lee Baker led of the inning and was the first of the five runs that crossed the plate. Team Mundy's only score came off Duff Hill's second fence beater as he drove Josh Wells across the plate.

The third saw no runs scored by either team. For Team Marino this was the case in the fourth and fifth innings as well. In the meantime, Team Mundy scored four in the fourth and 5 in the fifth to build a substantial lead.

The sixth and seventh innings saw Team Marino score an additional two runs in each inning. Unfortunately, Team Mundy scored five in each of their turns at bat.

You Gotta Score to Win, Guys

With Team Marino unable to score in the top of the eighth and the score being 11 to 27. We allowed Team Marino to take another bite of the apple. The first two batters got on base and scored. Then the team Mundy defense reached down and shut them down.

Key performances include:

Ray Mills        winning pitcher

Duff Hill        4 for 5 with two ground rule doubles

Wayne Mundy    6 for 6 with a double and triple

Bob Zelazny        6 for 6

Herbie "O"        4 for 5

GatorLand Field

Visiting Team: Coffman, Gonzalez, Hamilton, Toro, Laffoon, Constantine, Hill, Diaz, Davis, Powell and King.

VS.

Home Team: Grabb, Brennaman, Edwards, Jacobs, Lopez, Butler, Scarbrough, Radlein, Matta and Simon.

I want to say that the Home Team smoked the Visitors, like they would a good cigar. I want to say,we beat em like a drum.  I want to say, we had em all the way. I want to say, they didn’t give us a game. I want to say, Frank Jacobs won the game with a HR, to Right Field.  I want to say, the good guys won.
 

If I said those things and did not recant the embellishments, two things would happen. Preacher and visiting team player, Freddy Gonzalez, would be on me, like heat on a Florida summers day. He would make me repent for lying.  Editor, Ron Butler, would make me rewrite my copy to represent the facts with a little more clarity.

So here’s the honest truth, or close to it. The two teams, loaded with star players, (allow me this embellishment), exchanged leads back and forth, until the Home team won in the ninth inning.  Here is the simple truth, it was a good game.

Our Fan

Starting Pitchers, George Radlein, (Home) and JD Davis, (Visitors) pitched using a paint brush. They both painted on the black line that surrounds the white plate. Still the hitters on both teams found the holes in the field. In fact, George found the hole in right center twice, hitting back to back triples, by slashing line drives in the gap.  At the end of six innings the score was 13-13. 

Larry Powell came in to pitch, for the Visitors, in the 6^th inning, he kept the game close. Both teams continued to battle, adding a few runs into the ninth inning. When the Home team came up to bat, in the bottom of the ninth, the Visitors held a one run lead, 19-18.

The Home team started the 9th inning with a fly out; it looked like the Visitors just might have themselves a W. Until the next batter, Larry Grabb, came up and started a rally with a double.  Brennaman then tied the game quickly, with a single.  Next batter, Edwards, advanced Brennaman to third, with a single to left.  With the winning run at 3^rd base and only one out, power hitter, Frank Jacobs, stood at the plate.  All the Home team needed was a long fly ball and the game was over. This is what I call Money in the Bank with Frank at the plate. Frank did lift a fly ball, only it was a short one, which fell in for a hit, between the 2^nd baseman and the RC fielder. Game over.   

Final Score: Visitors 19- Home Team 20.  

Even at the risk of reprisal, I’ll go back to what I said earlier, the good guys won.

The New Rules Debut

Finally, after two rain-outs last week, we got to play with the new rules changes in effect.  AND I'm proud to say that I earned the first strike from driving a ball into the pitching screen. See, there is justice in the world.  Then I hit a two strike single.  

OK, so I got pretty positive feedback from most of the players on the rules changes, thank-you for that, guys, but we need to play under any given rule for a while before we decide if it works or not.  Sometimes the scenario you envisioned when you change a rule never happens or there's some other unforeseen circumstance or repercussion that appears after we've played for awhile.  Let's see how these changes play out.  Suggestions for the Rules Committee are always welcome.

American League

On field C, the American League had a back and forth contest featuring several lead changes before the game was settled in the ninth inning. The  Visitor's strong lineup started things off with a 5 run first inning only to be tied up by the Home squad in the bottom of the first.  Unfortunately, the Visitors took a zero in the second while giving up a run and the lead.

The visitors lineup looked like they couldn't be stopped with Coffman, Gonzalez, Diaz, Toro, Hill, Accevedo, Lopez, Wells, Byrd, Matta and Radlein at the plate, while the Home boys put up Grabb, Lafoon, Butler, Duff, Scarbrough, Oestereich, Brennaman, Davis, Ota, Regan and Levesque.

After six innings the score was 16-17 when the  Visitors scored 2 to go up 18-17.  Then the Home team scored one, knotting things up again at 18 all. 

In the eighth, Radlein, Coffman and Gonzalez scored but then left two stranded including Juan Toro at third.  The Home team plated Butler, Duff, Scarbrough, Herbie O, and Brennaman  thanks to a timely Ken Ota inside the park homer. (sorry Ken it goes down as a triple as the fifth run scored ahead of you)

The game ended after Larry Wells singled to lead off the visitors ninth but was forced out on a fielders choice.  Nick Matta singled  and took a runner from first with Byrd at second.  Then George Radlein who had been hitting the ball very hard lately, smashed a line drive back through the box.  JD Davis flashed some very quick leather, snagged the waist high hot shot and flipped the ball to first base to double the runner up, ending the game.  What a sudden and dramatic finish to a great game.

The Ridgewood Lakes Challenge

The National League teams today were managed by two of the Ridgewood Lakes contingent, Eddie Sullivan and Jeff Simon. While we were a little slow getting started, Team Sullivan wasted no time in scoring runs and opening up a lead. Their first three batters crossed the  plate and were followed by a couple more hits. Great defense at the end stopped what appeared to be a run away train. Team Simon answered with two of their own but lost the inning. That scenario would repeat itself through the first four innings. 

Team Sullivan scored three runs in the second, four in the third, and 3 in the fourth for a total of 14 runs. Team Simon meantime were unable to match the run production in any of the first four innings as they found themselves down by five.

I don't know if Team Sullivan's bats went cold for the next three innings,  Ray Mills found his stuff on the mound, or if the defense actually took their gloves onto the field with them, but Team Sullivan was shut out over that span. In the meantime, Team Simon closed the gap to one run on clutch hitting by Gene Baker and others. At the end of seven, it was Team Sullivan 13 and Team Simon 11.

The eighth saw Team Sullivan reassert itself with the bottom of the lineup getting so me clutch hits. Sullivan, King, Hearn, and Thompson all scoring. This was the deciding inning as Team Simon was not able to answer  the challenge and failed to score.

Team Sullivan scored two more in the ninth for a total of 18 runs. Team Simon managed one in the ninth to fall six short.

Difficult times

Our good friend and team mate, Tom Wise and his wife Deborah are currently experiencing the loss of a loved one.  Their daughter passed away this weekend after battling some health issues.  Please keep Tom and Deborah and their family in your hearts and prayers as they navigate these troubled waters. 

Sorry guys, the fields are unplayable.  See you Tuesday.

Weathered OUT

Today's games are cancelled due to weather and field conditions.  We'll have to wait until Friday to play under the new rule changes.

Reminder!  We now need to sign in before 8:30; the first pitch time is now 9am.  

Chernobyl

Yep, today is the anniversary of that disaster at Chernobyl.  Fortunately, we didn't have a meltdown like that on the ball field today although it seemed hot enough.

Servicemaster Field

The American League played a three team contest today under the watchful eyes of  Denny Holder's class of student umpires.  Denny brought the entire class out today and supplied each game with 4 umpires.  On the Servicemaster Field we had Brett Jones, Kaitlyn Warren, Art Knight, and Kayla Montgomery rotating through the play calling roles.  Nice job everyone!

While we didn't have any meltdowns or explosions today, we definitely had weirdness.  Like Jimmy Lafoon and Danny Parker playing catcher?  You don't see that every day. The game was close with Regis Finnegan's Hit squad scoring steadily in every inning to finally rack up 17 runs against  Russ King's Sitting team's intermittent scoring with 5 in the first, 6 in the 4th, 5 in the sixth and two in the final frame with zeros in between to total 18 runs against Joe D'herin's Field boys final total of 15 runs on a combination of big bursts with a few scattered runs here and there.  

The decision came down to the 7th inning with the score at 15-16-15.  Regis's squad scored one to tie the game at 16 but then Russ's team plated two to go ahead and then managed to shut down Joe's boys for the overall win. Good close contest guys!

Fred Gonzalez  3 for 4

Gessler Clinic Field

When is 5 really 4 or who's keeping score today.  Dennis Holder supplied Winter Haven Senior Softball with umpires today, with 5 students covering 4 bases.  Dennis' students: Stephanie Koustsombaris, Dewarderick Morris, Nafis Walker, Brock VanLier and Malcolm Alls, did a great job for us by covering the bases and we help them pick up the subtle differences of "Senior Softball".  Thanks folks, you can come back anytime.   

Now for the game, Richard Sessink pitched a great game for the homeboys as they crushed, yes crushed, the visitors 22-6.  The home team posted, or would have, 5 runs in 4 separate innings.  A minor accounting error occurred in the home half of the 3rd when the hitting team thought they had scored 5 runs, but it was just 4. So, it was a day when 5 was really 4 or maybe don't give the score pad to the guy missing a finger.  

Hector Marinacci, one of our Canadian players, who is headed back north for the summer, went off in style with a triple.  (He'll need the time resting after having to run that far.)

Upcoming Changes

Today's meeting of the BOD addressed the implementation of the rules recently approved by the BOD and the change to the non league playing schedule (read earlier start time). It was determined that Tuesday, 30 April 2013 would be the effective date for both. Let me start with the easiest change first.

Starting Tuesday, games will begin promptly at 0900 hr. Players need to sign in or call ahead by 0830 hours to get on the roster to play.

Now for the rules changes that will also go into effect on Tuesday. As you know we appointed a rules committee that looked at all suggested rule changes and made recommendations to the BOD. These were then voted on by the BOD and if approved, made a part of the League Rules. The new rules will be posted on the web site prior to the implementation date so everyone can read and understand them. I will attempt to capture the main changes. If I do not mention a change then you should assume the rule remains in effect as previously published.

1.    The governing rules will be changed from ASA to ISA. This was driven by the fact that the Florida Half Century follows ISA rules and that ISA has rules written specifically for senior softball. Complete ISA rules can be accessed through the web site.

2.  We have redefined the location of the pitching screen and have amended the rule to state that the first ball hit into the screen will be a strike. Subsequent balls hit into the screen will be called dead. You cannot strike out by hitting into the screen.

3. ISA running rules have been adopted with one exception for players in the National League. The major change means that players in the American League can no longer have a runner from home. They must reach first base on their own. Our exception is that the National League players can still have a runner from home. If they do use a runner the old rules about advancement beyond first base applies. Once reaching base a courtesy runner can be substituted. During subsequent at bats the player must again reach first base on his own but can take multiple bases.

4. There will be no intentional walks allowed during non league play. Only one intentional walk will be allowed per team during league play. Umpires will call a 'no-pitch' when it is determined that the pitcher is not attempting to throw a strike.

5. During league play each rostered player must play at least four innings on defense. Pool players cannot play more innings on defense than any rostered player.

6. In the event no coach/umpire is provided all appealed calls will be determined in favor of the team in the field.

7. League play will have two divisions based on established criteria. National League will consist of players generally over seventy years of age, all females players regardless of age, and American League players that have petitioned the BOD and been approved to  play "out of league". 

The American League will consist of male players between the ages of 55 and generally 69, and National League players that have requested  and been approved to play "out of league".

Players desiring to play "out of league" must submit a request to the BOD stating the rational for the request. The request must be received by the BOD no later than 14 days prior to the draft each year. 

The BOD appreciates the input made by league players in bringing these issues forward and thanks the rules committee for their work in presenting their recommendations to the BOD. It is the BODs hope that approved changes will better the playing experience for all our members. If some fall short, do not be disheartened because, as we did this year, all rules and requested changes brought forward by the players will be reviewed by the committee for inclusion next year.

The Commissioner

Warren Spahn's Birthday

The winning-est left handed pitcher in Major League history was born on April 23, 1921.  He won 363 games in his career.  He is quoted as saying 'hitting is timing; pitching is upsetting timing." I think JD would agree with that.

Field D

Team Toro vs. Team  Jacobson    

For the first four innings the game was tied at nine runs apiece.  Early highlights for Team Toro, the visitors, included a two run  homer by Chuck Duff in the fourth frame and a homer by Don Keller, also in the fourth inning.  

Team Toro scored five in the top of the fifth with hits by Powell, Simon,  Toro, Schapler, and a two bagger by Chuck Duff.  The home team failed to score in their half of the inning but added a run in the bottom of the sixth.  At that point Team Toro led 13 to 10.  

In the top of the seventh, Team  Toro surged ahead on a strong five run performance featuring hits  by Schapler, Duff, Borowitz, Woodard, Powell, Simon and a homer by Chris Constantine.   

The visitors added three more in the top of the eighth on a Chuck Duff three run homer.  With the score at that point 22 to 10, Team Jacobson caught fire in the bottom of  the eighth to score six runs and close to within six runs of Team Toro. The six run explosion featured hits by Regis Finnegan, a double by Larry Wells, and hits by Tom Wise, and Kirk Coffman.  

Both teams fell flat in the ninth inning and did not score. The final was 22 to 16  with Team Toro coming out on top.  It should be noted that Dean Schapler was hit on an errant throw whole going into second base in the ankle but continued to play thru the injury. We hope that he is OK; he showed true grit.  It was an exciting game and a fun day at the ballpark was had by all.  

Team Toro leading hitters included. Chris Constantine with four hits with. a HR, Chuck Duff with four hits including two HR, and  Jeff  Simon with five hits. 

Team Jacobson leading hitters were  Don Keller with three hits including a HR, Les Jacobson with three hits including two doubles, Regis Finnegan with five hits including two doubles,and Ed Kline with three hits.

Field B

The umpire yells out, “play ball”, not “let’s go to work” at the start of a game. That’s kind of nice, even at age 55+, we can still play.  With that in mind, you might enjoy this link to George Carlin’s classic comparison of Baseball and Football, it’s funny and PG rated. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmXacL0Uny0

Well, that was the spirit in Winter Haven, at Field B, today. There were lots of smiles and some good natured kidding, which caused laughs to flow from players on both teams. Good thing too, because the hits were not flowing.

The home team, managed by Joe D’Herin, got enough metal on the ball to score 5 runs in the 1^st and 6^th innings. In between those big innings there were some dry ones. The visiting team, managed by Bob Zelazny, kept the score close throughout the game. Defensively, it was a good thing Tommy Snider was on top of his game for the visitors. During the course of the game, Tommy fielded 5 balls, at 2^nd base, and threw out the runners. The shut down fielder also added 3 hits to the offensive side of things, which kept the "V" team in the hunt.

The “H” team had their own star, Russ “not in my house” King made some nice catches in right field. Russ also swung a hot bat, getting a triple and a HR along with a few other hits. The cry, “MVP”, was chanted a few times by the home team, in support of Russ, who was smiling like a Butcher’s dog.

The final score of the game: Visitors 11- Home Team 15.

Other news and notes to report: Denny Shaffer’s time of playing ball here, at Winter Haven, is coming to a temporary close. Denny will be leaving soon to spend the summer up in Ohio.  Pat Drouilard and his lovely ball playing partner, Penny, also left this week, for Canada. God bless all of you, see you next year.

 A special shout out to Ari Harris, who sold his home and is moving away; he will not be playing ball at Winter Haven anymore. We will miss you Ari, it was our pleasure getting to know you. We wish you the very best, come back and visit anytime.
