If the strong A division teams agree to abide by the pre-COVID restrictions, we should not have a problem. If they don't agree to abide by the pre-COVID restrictions, one of 2 things is going to happen. Either the strong A teams will play in a very small league of their own and play 2 other teams mu...

I find it ironic when the really good teams tell me the weaker teams should get better. I've heard that over and over again. Weaker teams come into the league as friends. They do everything together including softball. Telling them to get better is the same as telling them to break up their team, mu...

As many of you know, COVID-19 forced a lot of changes to the all-star/eddie rules and requirements. In an effort to help struggling managers field teams in 2020 and 2021, all-star/eddie requirements were scaled back. That will change come 2022. And with more teams in the league, the all-star cut-off...

The Quarry light fixtures are sitting on a ship at the port of San Diego waiting for a dock to open. Based on that, the company has set the shipping date as 10/4. We have a shot to get them on the following Thursday or Friday and if I can line up everyone and everything, the lights will go up on 10/...

With 2 powerhouse offenses set to match off in the finals, fireworks were about to erupt. In fact, I checked the backup ball count just to make sure there were enough to cover the over-the-fence blasts. Defending champs Philly Junk took a 2-0 lead early. Doom Cats cut that lead in half mid-game. It ...

Damn right! The only way I'm getting 60' off the ground is by elevator.

That's a big ask. Even if we could get rid of the divots, they'd only come right back. It's just wear and tear. MLB teams play 162 games in a season, 81 of which are on their home field. Think about it. 81 games over the course of 7 months. The Quarry sees 81 games in a little more than 3 weeks and ...

Now that's funny!

I never had any problems with the lighting, I'm more excited to hear about the dirt redistribution. Any idea how extensive that work might be? I love the quarry but trying to reach your cut-off man from deep in the outfield is brutal with the uphill factor If you can't reach the cut-off, the cut-of...

Thanks TK. I only wish I had this freedom years ago.

The Quarry ball field is owned by the Eureka Quarry. It was leased to Andy Suder (snack bar) back in the early 80’s. Andy maintained the lease and I sublet the ball field from Andy. What a lot of league members never knew was my hands were very much tied with what I could do with the ball field. Any...

I am sad to announce the Eddie 1-Pitch Tournament has been postponed until 2022. A number of factors contributed to this decision. First off, I'm getting a strong sense that enough draft candidates won't be available come crunch time. As it is now, 1-pitch candidates are beginning to drop off. With ...

We have yet another last minute defection from the B North. Team 8 (Insurance Runs) has pulled out of the league at the last minute resulting in another schedule revision. For tomorrow, Team 11 will move to Cedar Hill and play Team 9 at 9:00 am. Teams 10 and 12 will play at Lukens 3 at 9 am and Team...

Team 14 (Morning Wood) has pulled out of the league at the last minute. A revised schedule has been posted. There is a change to Week 1. One Hit Wonders will play at 11:30 instead of the originally scheduled 12:45. There are some changes to the balance of the schedule, but nothing dramatic.

A miscommunication between Team Envi and the league resulted in the team being left off the fall schedule. In order for me to make things right and allow them to play this season, I needed help from Dirty Dogs, Slap a Pitch, and I'd Hit That. All 3 teams accommodated, thank you. Team Envi can now pl...

Scorekeepers are needed for the upcoming men's 1-pitch tournament. $10/game is being offered. Nancy said she will do a few games. If you or someone you know can keep score for a few or all of the games, please let me know ASAP.

Tournament statistics have been formulated and are now posted online. Tournament MVP (Most Valuable Player) is named from the winning team. MVP’s (Most Valuable Producers) are players with the most production relative to the categories listed below. A fair and balanced statistical formula is used to...

Zack Lyall (Master Blasters, Thursday Men's) has been issued a mandatory 1-game suspension as a result of a game ejection on 09/15/21 for unsportsmanlike conduct (dropping an F bomb on the game umpire). This suspension is effective immediately. Suspended players are prohibited from attending the gam...
