Heavy Metal Softball

Test The Rest Before You Proclaim "The Best"...

I've talked about playing tournaments the last three years, but it seems I've only played for other tournament teams instead of establishing my own. I am currently committed to playing with Del Toledo's Alias team again this year, and I will honor that commitment to the end of the year. But I've always wanted to start a tournament team of my own, preferably with my own Heavy Metal players, because they have just the right qualities, I believe, to make a run at a tournament championship. We would play recreational level, play during the times when Alias is not playing (Frank, Gene, Lee, Nelson, Rich, and Wes also play with Alias), test the rest of the Valley by playing some nearby out-of-town tournaments, and just see what a group of team-minded men can do on the weekends, as well as the weeknights. I really have faith in Heavy Metal's balance of good infielders and outfielders, hitting for "average" and "heavy" hitting (Wes, Frank, Nelson, Joe, Rich -- you guys hearing me? Help me out, now!), intelligent base-running, and just plain feel-good support for everyone on the team. I used to get really pumped when our Wednesday night, Division 3, games came around because there is a good fellowship on this team -- I enjoy playing with all of you guys! So, let me know if you are interested by dropping me a short e-mail, or phone, and telling me if you are in or not. We will only play if most, or all, of you become committed. Every decision for the team is done by vote on Heavy Metal, so if the team votes "Go!" then I will put the tournament mechanism into action. Hope to see all of you weekend warriors on a cool, promising Saturday morning sometime in the future, and, also, near the end of that sweaty, fruitful day, a championship in hand -- but more importantly, even if we don't attain that lofty status, a sense of "team" still solidly intact.

Let me know....
