OLDE TYMERS SOFTBALL LEAGUE ANNUAL PLAYER DRAFT MEETING

APRIL 20, 2015

The annual player draft was held at the COG on Monday, April 20, starting at 10 a.m. Managers, assistant managers from all teams were present. The meeting was called to order by Bo Wood, who made some introductory statements and then identified the need to finalize the vote on the starting pitch count for this season.

At the previous Board of Directors meeting, the vote to go to a 0-1 vs a 1-1 count resulted in a tie vote. Keith Purdy and Dick Mullins were not present, so the motion was brought up for reconsideration. Paul Litwin and Harry Gowl presented opposing view points, then the vote took place. The motion to go to a starting count of 1 - 1 passed by a vote of 11 to 5.

Dick Mullins then went over the wait list, which went from up to 9 players on it, to the one we now have with only 3 on it, two of which cannot start until July, and one who has not paid yet (so technically is not on the wait list).

Dick Mullins then made a couple corrections to the draft sheet, updating positions, adding injury info and adding a rating.

Ed Sternberg made a motion to modify the length of a game that is tied. We currently use one tiebreaker inning. After that the game is tied if neither team went ahead of the other. Ed's motion was to extend the process to two tiebreaker innings, if necessary. If still tied after the one extra inning, a second inning would be played. If the game is still tied after the second extra inning the game is called a tie and is over. Second by Mullins, motion passed.

Discussion took place on a request from Mike Fleetwood that he be re-rated due to his inability to run as he has in the past. Several members of the tournament team he played with over the weekend stated he should be dropped. A motion was made by Harry Gowl and seconded by Grady Meredith to vote on whether we should reconsider Mike's rating. Motion failed 6-5, therefore no re-rating was be considered.

The player draft then started and ended around 1 p.m. A total of 156 players, which includes the managers, assistant managers and sponsors are on 13 teams.

Okay family and friends, it’s update time! Most of you know I co-authored the script, but that effort pales by comparison with all that the show’s creator has done.

Click on www.FearlessTheMusical.com to hear some (fresh-posted yesterday with more on the way) newly-recomposed, fully-orchestrated and rearranged final productions of original Valerie Connelly songs performed by Valerie. You may once have heard the earlier versions and thought they were good, but now . . . well, judge for yourself!

For a fun sampling, try “LISTEN TO YOUR HEART” (number 7). Then taste the big street-scene opener, “NOTHING IS OURS BUT TIME.” In the show, the #7 song is sung by the male lead and the opener is sung by the “best-supporting” couple backed by a large dancing chorus, but before other interpretations surface, you can hear these originals here exactly as the creator intended them to sound. Tap your toes! Play it again. Sing along! Oh, and be sure to crank up the volume (this is belt-it-out “Broadway-bound” remember?).

It probably goes without saying for most of you responsive types who are receiving this note, but most assuredly: We will greatly value your input and feedback. Please be sure to include both of us (Hal@TheWriterWorks.com and Valerie@FearlessTheMusical.com) with any comments you may offer.

As Valerie continues to final-produce all 23 song and dance numbers, we are hopeful of having news to share about a first pilot-performance staging of FEARLESS! within the next 9-12 months (yes, it takes a little time to put together a quality venue, 150 quality people, thousands of pages of printed scores and scripts, and months of auditions and rehearsals). But we’ll be sure to keep you posted. We will, of course, also make sure you’re invited.

In the meantime, know that Valerie and I are thinking of you and are very appreciative of your ongoing support.

Enjoy! Best to all - Hal
