- More About Me:
- I am a gamer, I come to play everday. I will never be the most talented guy or your team but I try to get the most out of what I have. Great speed and just a knack for being in right place has severed my well over the years.
As a player, I hit the ball all over the place and try to make pitchers work. Every now and again a pitcher will hang one and I can turn on it. Other wise I try to get on anyway I can. I play a solid short and it has always been my favorite position. Although it seems I have ended up in CF and LF a little more these days.
I started playing in a distant world a long, long time ago. Played Little League where my claim to fame was playing on Duran's, which was a Candy factory, of course my Dad worked for NECCO there competitor. I once drove in 8 runs in a playoff game we lost! That stunk.
I played Babe Ruth,CYO and the best experience was Ted Williams Baseball Camp. Three weeks a year and all we did was play ball!
Lost track of baseball after High School, played a bunch of Softball mid 20's, Then rediscovered it 5 years ago and started playing Softball Wiffle Ball and enjoying it alot more then I remembered 15 years ago.
In 2006 I built a cozy little Wiffle Ball Field. I had not realized other people did this until researching it. Wow, people really go all out I found out. So we moved in 2007 and part of the move was having enough land to build a real field, which I did. I built a Replica of the great Ebbets Field. It is amazing. Wiffle Ball is really a amazing sport. There is a entire world for it, leagues, tourneys, equipment who would of known?
I have alos been lucky enough to play in the Tigers Fantasy Camp, The Hall of Fame Fantasy Camp, Pro Ball Camp (which is a great baseball camp) and play competitive baseball in the New Hampshire Mens League. Mainly now I play Wiffle Ball and Softball.
I love to play Wiffleball and Softball I built Ebbets Field at my home! It is the real deal.
the best part about baseball, wiffleball and softball is meeting new friends and like minded people.

Sandlot Baseball Filled the Day For We 1970s Kids; Does it Still?
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 2:30pm 21 Comments 5 Likes
Somewhere, surely, there was a boy last summer with a baseball glove dangling from the handlebar of his bicycle, on 
his way to a hastily put together, loosely organized version of our national pastime.
Somewhere a gaggle of fellow boys—friends, acquaintances and even strangers—found an empty diamond and…

The Real Crime is the Leak to Braun’s Test Results
Since news leaked that Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun failed a drug test this past October, the media has focused on the legitimacy of records, awards, and whether Bud Selig’s attempt to clean up the sport of performance-enhancing drugs has been a failure. All those, in my opinion, are secondary issues, as the real crime is the…

Aaron falls nine votes shy of becoming the first unanimous selection, and his 97.8 election percentage is second only to Ty…

Here is a little Baseball history lesson from two biographies just posted:
Just 10 days after team owner Harry Frazee sold the Boston Red Sox to a group headed by Bob Quinn, one of the first moves the new administration took was to purchase the contract of right-handed pitcher Les Howe, he was discovered by Hugh Duffy. Learn more about him and his debut on The Baseball Page.

LOVE the Wiffle field in your yard. I'm a Wiffler in the Cincinnati area...started a tournament here (Reds Summer Wiffleball Classic)...would love to connect on here, but I'm not quite sure how! hahahahha...talk soon
I plan on going this year if I don't get a roster spot on the North American team that's going to Hong Kong the 2nd week of February. I would love to go to both, if I can make the timing work out. If I go to camp, I'll be there the 2nd week as well.
