Played the Washington Nationals today. They call this the seeding game and we were picked to play each other because our records were similar. We beat them 13-5 and I pitched 2 innings and it was 6 up and 6 down which sounds impressive until you realize everybody on their team is over 65. :-)) Supposed to play a double header tomorrow but we don't know yet who or where or when. Another Pic

Well what do you know? We won 12-2 in 7 innings. Guys looked like a different ball club. I pitched 2 innings and had 7 up and 6 down with my only blemish an error by our first baseman. Did have 1 strikeout. That does give me 9 innings without giving up a run. I'd say not bad for an old man but I was playing against old men so ..... Here's a pic.

I took the day off today as our mgr said I wouldn't pitch. We lost 15-3 to a team from Wilmington, NC. No pics to put up but here's a YouTube video of all the places we play here in Ft Myers.

Finally got some stuff from Reed as to a concert he went to last week. -------Here are a couple pictures. The group was called the Underachievers and they're a hip hop duo from Brooklyn. We leave to Orlando to watch the Lakers play this Wednesday so I'll send you some pictures from that too.

Played a team from Baltimore today and lost 4-1. I pitched 4 innings and did alright. No runs, a hit, a K, 3(ouch)walks but that does give me 7 IP and no runs, earned or otherwise. The baseball gods have been very nice to me. Also Bob Misko showed up at the end of our game. He's running a baseball nonprofit in Orlando (not Atlanta like I wrote earlier) and suggested I come down from Jacksonville and play to get some innings in when this tournament is over. Caught him up on some news from Guam and he invited me over to a spread they're having at some place called Famous Dave's tonight. He looks pretty good for an old guy.

OK so we played the Chicago Spirit today at 10AM and lost 12-0. I pitched innings 3 4 5. I gave up no runs, 2 hits, 2 walks 1K. So I did OK. Here's our Team pic.

OK so I'm in Ft Myers Getting ready to start an old guy (65+) baseball tournament. I'm staying with Perry Babineau from Halifax Nova Scotia and playing with the Nova Scotia Monarchs. We had practice today and I got to take batting practice which went ok and throw to the team catcher which could have gone better. I'm supposed to be the second pitcher tomorrow for up to 3 innings. We're playing at the City of Palms Park which used to be the spring training home of the Boston Red Sox. Here's a pic.
