Hey Team Stradling, if you can wear grey shirts to help us recognize each other that would be great. If not, it's not too big of a deal.

Dang now you tell me . I'm sure you'll recognize me, I look exactly the same. I think I have a grey shirt somewhere will be sporting my angels gear either way.

That was fun.

Like an idiot, I left my glove there. If someone is kind enough to pick it up, Ill retrieve it.

It says "Ollen" on it.

[Biergott]

That was a blast, thanks to all who put it together and I hope we raised some good money for the cause! Team Stradling!

[nate]

Who won it all?

[m0nkey]

Stradlings team beat gotbeers. I certainly didn't suck out there

[Stradling]

It was a lot of fun. I have no idea who anyone was out there. Richard on Gotbeers team made a diving catch in left center. Adam made a diving play in the first game at third which was impressive.

My favorite person out there was a 78 year old gentleman who got out only once today. He is my favorite human right now.

I'm very proud of all of you for your donations, we really did a great thing. I'm looking forward to next year when we try and out do this year.

Well I'm not sure how much Brian can out do himself next year. Nose diving into first was priceless, if anyone has pictures of that I would love to see them.

The 76 year old gentleman raked.

[gotbeer]

The gentleman you are all referring to was Bob Fisher.  Jlar64's grandfather I believe.  They had 3 generations of their family playing in the game.  

 

Oh and his stats for the game.

 

3-4, 2 2b, 1 1b, 2 bb, 5 runs scored.  A slash line of 0.750/0.833/1.250/2.083

 

Yeah, he was quite impressive.  

[Adam]

That 87 year old dude crushed

Trout's grandfather?

[jlar64]

Well everyone is close but Bob Fisher is my dad not grandfather and yes he had two kids and two grandson's on our team plus an 11 year old granddaughter watching. It certainly was a fun day for our family.

[jlar64]

Thank you everyone for the kind words to my day Bob Fisher yesterday during and after the games as well as on this site. He asked me this morning to post something about Senior Softball in which he has been active in for several years. There are 1,000's of guys (and women) playing Senior ball throughout the Unitied States from age 40+ to 80 and over and my dad is currently attached to a 75 and over team.

 

The level of softball in which theses "seniors" play is amazing. It is truely a remarkable sight to see guys at 70, 75 and 80 not only still playing, but playing good ball and staying competetive. You can learn more about Senior Softball at http://seniorsoftball.com/. If you are ever looking for something to do, find a local tournament and take an hour or so to watch these guys and ladies play some great softball.

Dipoto will offer him a 10/225 contract to play 3rd next year.

[Crampknees]

The 76 year old gentleman raked.

My first thought was cheat in on him a little.....my second thought was how stupid I must look chasing after the ball he raked right past me.

[Richard]

Highlight of my day was talking with him and seeing him up there ripping shots into the gap hustling to 2nd for a stand up double.

[LBHalos17]

Bob was THE man out there!  It was tough to follow him after he crushed the first two hits into the left-center field gap for doubles!  He played a great first base too (I stretched-him too far on one throw from short).  I can't wait to see what he does for an encore next year!  And, hopefully I'll make it to the Angels party afterward so I can chat him up more than I got to during the games.

 

Congrats to Team Stradling; that was a nice comeback win.  Thanks to Chuck, Mark, and everybody else who had a hand in putting this tourney together.  I was impressed with the REAL Miracle-Leaguers!  Every chance I had, I would wander over to watch them playing their game.  I saw some HUGE smiles over there!

 

*btw... Brian confessed to me that he wasn't trying to dive into first-base to beat the throw.  It looked pretty good, but he came-up a little short of the bag...

[Stradling]

LB, were you the umpire in one of the games?

 I must be the worst girlfriend ever, because that makes it even more hilarious. 

[LBHalos17]

Yeah, Stradling... Unfortunately, I Umpired your team into the final against our team... hahahahaha.  I hafta admit tho; that was my first time umpiring.  The other team should've protested.

 

*Sorry, Brian... That was kinda funny tho.  And, for the record, Brian played the second game despite his injuries.

[yk9001]

LB Halos - you umped the first game?  You did a good job.

[yk9001]

Didn't see any of this this year (pic from one of the first years we did this - UCSBhubs
