| The sign of an old man? Getting sore after one game of slo-pitch softball. It was extraordinary fun last night, good guys on the team.

| Experience isn’t exactly in ample supply for our team. We have just half-dozen returnees this spring, while a few members of the squad have never played slo-pitch before this season.But you’d never know that based on this year’s results. The draft looks like it worked for all 6 teams.

| Hey, in 'slo-pitch'... Is there any reason ever to choke up?" Yes there is one reason, if you play in the masters.

| Today...still not so good. Think I pulled my quad on Monday night, no amount of aspirin or beer is going to help. If I was a horse they'd put me down. I will be ready next week. Can anyone stop that yellow machine that is Sylvia Morris?

Can anyone beat Sylvia Morris team? They should be playing in the other league, they are that good.

| Great effort springs naturally from a great attitude. Hence my skills we never so good that you would be able to notice them diminishing. Like, Ive never hit a grand slam and then a walk off hr and followed it up the next game with a gawd awful 1 fer 5. That kind of diminish mentally. No one beat Sylvia Morris.

| I have played ball in the Aurora, Markham and the York leagues over the years this was my first in the USPL Masters division. I am here to tell you this is the best run league I have played in years. The umpires are great, the website information and the organization are the best. The Crosby festivities were second to none. Tip your hat to the leaders of the USPL.
You should all be proud members. Thanks for listening to my rant.

| Thanks to the executives who did a hell of a job with what they had to work with in organizing the season and the playoffs. I personally enjoyed meeting a few new guys in the USPL that I had never met. All six teams we played had many good guys. I think it speaks volumes with the talent level displayed during the season and how our USPL masters has grown. Now if we could only get the city to open the vault and fix these aging parks and quit dumping money into soccer every year. Off to shed about 40 lbs to keep up with the young bucks.

| I ended the season with a stand up triple, a great high. Now I get the ultimatum to either catch next year or leave my old team. If I go to the masters I get a shot a reclaiming my glory days. It is a tough choice, how is the level of ball in the masters?

| The masters division plays at a high level. Some folks lack some mobility but most have great gloves and better attitudes. They players respect each other and understand the reasons why we show up to play.

| Like others, this masters league has been a exceptional experience. I played baseball growing up, until I was 16 and gave it up due to being busy with work and other school activities, then a couple years later I moved to go to school. A classmate that lived in the Markham for years asked if I wanted to play on his beer league slopitch team (that had existed since late 80s). I took it as an opportunity to meet some new people in the strange new city and then I got hooked. I still play with passion but the legs are not what they used to be. I understand that we are sticking with our old team from last year, what a great suggestion. In all my years, I have never seen such a organized league. I fully endorse the USPL.

| Great post about Hugh.
When I first learned how to hit a slow-pitch softball, I was swinging too soon. A friend of mine told me to pull my cap down some on my head, then, keeping my head level, wait until the ball was in sight over the plate, then swing. This helped tremendously with my timing. Now Crosby does not scare me anymore.
