Thursday is looking very bad.

You're probably tired of charts in red/blue.  Here's a map showing where it's legal to own a kangaroo!


 

I worked for a company that wanted me to sign-up for a 401K.  I told them no... there's no way I could run that far!

 

SOME TERRIFIC NEWS:

Thanks to our second baseman Jerry Harris,  we will be having billboard ads running on three (3) electronic billboards throughout the city.

We have this ad displaying on three Flynn Sign Company digital billboards.

 

  1. One at Interstate Dr (near the old movie theater).
  1. One on West Avenue traveling from Downtown toward the 5 Points Intersection.
  1. The third location is directly in front of Save A Lot across from Bucee’s

 

 


Hopefully, this will bring more attention and more players out to the fields. 

End of terrific news.

Thought for the day:

There's nothing more dangerous than an idiot with resources!


Handy Hint for the day....


 






 


 






For you new guys and girls:

We play at the Warner Complex at Centenial Park in Crossville. It's located at 837 Industrial Boulevard, Crossville, TN 38555

 

 





In the event of an emergency, call 911 and give them the location as "CP WC."  These signs are posted on all the fields.







If you have information that you would like posted on the blog, you can e-mail, phone or text me.



BTW: If you meet someone thinking about joining our group, point them to our website which has all kinds of info about playing.

$20 Voluntary Contribution to Support Softball

In order to support our Monday/Thursday Senior Softball, we need bats, balls, first aid items, and other equipment.  Since we do not have a sponsor, you are requested to contribute $20 at the beginning of each season to help defray costs.  This is strictly voluntary.  Softball board member, Ted Meadows, will collect contributions and deposit them in our Bank Account.  Optionally, players on TN State Olympic teams can give their $20 to their team captains.  Once again this is voluntary, and no giving records will be kept.  The City of Crossville has been very generous to Senior Softball over the years.  In addition to giving us free access to our beautiful softball facilities at Centennial Park and Garrision Park, they pay our fees to participate in the State Senior Games in Franklin, TN.  Hopefully, we can all do our part to keep Senior Softball alive.

New Player Age Rules

On March 20, 2017 leadership of Crossville Men's Senior Softball League decided to lower the new player eligibility age.

(1) To be eligible to participate a player must reach the age of 50 prior to Dec. 31 in the year of first participation in the league.


(2) Any current players that may not meet these age requirements are grandfathered-in, and may continue to play.

(3) The eligibility rule does not apply to any ladies who may wish to play in our league.

(4) In the future, on any play dates when we have 32 or more players and can have four teams, we will make every effort to divide players so that players below 70 may compete with players in their peer age group while players 70 and over may likewise compete against their peers.

The sole objective of these rules is safety.
