Oakland Park Baseball

i was realizing that after last weeks game that one day a week of baseball just isnt enough. the only other day i have off is mondays. anyways they have softball leagues, which play on mondays. i am quite aware that that softball is not baseball. but aside from the ball size, bat size, diamond size and pitch angle. anyways i played in a league once and had a blast. just a thought

Hey I might be down to join a Monday softball team/game. I assume the games would be in the evening. Are you saying you want to try to get a team set up, Richard? What do you want to happen, specifically?

Softball's no baseball, but it's fun anyway.

yes i meant i was thinking of a team. there is a slight fee for fields umps etc.

more specifically i was wondering if there are enough people who would be interested in playing softball on mondays to form a team. then enter a league and whoop some fat 45 year old ass.

Yeah, Id play on a softball team. Sounds fun. Is it high arc or fast pitch (probably the former)?

I can attest to the fact that softaball will fuck up your baseball swing.

Count me in. I'm down for back-to-back Diamond Days. And Peter, considering we have a form of slow pitch, I don't think it'll mess too badly with anyone's swing.

Remember that nasty slump I just got out of? I blame it on playing softball in November and December.

Peter, the slump was virtually league-wide. I don't think it had anything to do with softball. I wasn't playing softball and I slumped, too. There are several others who are just getting back on track. I think it was the weather, not the form of game.

I would probably try and come to some of these games, too. Does anyone know what teams are looking for players?

The man speaks the truth. While in NY I played for a company 12 ft arc softball team and a modified fast pitch men's softball league for the last 4 summers. When I began playing hard ball again on Sundays...well...let's just say the air was my domain. It is now that I am starting to hit line drives again and am feeling comfortable in my stance.

But, like Nick pointed out we're not exactly playing in AA ball so I guess the fact that one could play more ball outweighs the potential damage to our majestic swings.

paul my team the park baseball team. which means we need players who will come. imagine something like 15 players since there will be weeks were someone wont show. i however plan on being there every week cuase i have no life. chris it would be high arc or meatball league.

I would be interested in playing monday nights. I also manage a coed Thursday team so I know about the league. If you are interested in starting a team in the Oakland league fees are $600 and the season starts beginning of April, so if you are going to do it I would get on it soon. For Oakland softball get ahold of Kien Lam his email adress is klam24@yahoo.com

As far as your swinging goes it does have a slight affect that I have noticed. But it sure is fun playing some ball during the week.(I know its not baseball, but it is still some fun shit non the less)

Fuckin' A, $600?!

are the softballs made of gold or something? Does that include a Rep from their league coming over and mowing the lawn for you?

Just kidding, but, damn, 600 bones.... I guess if you split that up between 15 people it's $40 bucks each. If we get 20 people in on it, it's $30 each. Ok, ok, i'll still do it.

You probably would not want more than 15 people, cause the games are time limited to 75minutes, and its no fun sitting on the bench. I know its alot of money, thats why most, if not all the teams have a sponsor. Anyway if you need somemore info let me know.
