I'm telling you Bob...leave those primadonnas and come on down here to Texas, where by March we are a full month into the fast pitch season. You can call from Feb. straight through until at least Oct. But, hey, if you are making the trip, bring Mike along too. I have long since been trying to convince him of the virtues of our fair state.
Joel....I am just the opposite. A little over two weeks away from the start of fall ball, all my pants are neatly pressed and hanging in the closet along side the entire fleet of shirts. All of my shoes, however, look exactly the way they did the last time I walked off of a ball field. (Matter of fact, they are probably still in the equipment bag.) I will probably get around to shining them up about two weeks from this Friday. Needless to say, the first games of the fall season will be on the following Saturday! Scott

Baytown is closer to Joel, but only by about 15 miles.
We can definately utilize the likes of you gentlemen down this way. The first major tournament is the Lady Cajun College Classic Oct 4-6. They, USL, will be utilizing our new complex to host this event. Next tourney would be 19-20 Oct. ASA type, then in Nov. two AFA tourneys. Dec. we have 2 AFA qualifiers and one in Jan. So, "Come on Down". BTW, all my shoes are shined, shirts [even the Red ones}cleaned. {last remark is reference to a post on another board that some of you may have seen. We, AFA, do utilize the Red. Always for the 18U Nats champion- ship game.   glen

Baytown is actually pretty close.........only about 50 miles from me...........
I have driven through it about a dozen or so times this summer driving up (over?) to Beaumont for Softball.......... I have a couple of extra beds and 2 couches if anyone needs..........(as long as you don't snore louder than me)......... And for Mike........I am good friends with the both the District SP UIC and the Asst. UIC............so I am sure I could get some games for you too............grin Joel On a side note.........DO NOT drive 75 mph behind an 18 wheeler on I-10 in the summer.........they peel tires like crazy.........I did once this summer.........and it cost me a tire/rim/$1,400 in damage to my car)......... I have fixed the tire and rim problem.......but I don't have full coverage on my car............so the damage to my front right fender has yet to be fixed.........the tire guy I used in Baytown told me that there are usually a couple of deaths per year in his stretch of I-10 due to 18 wheelers losing tread....... IOW..........no matter where you are........be wary when traveling behind a Semi on a HOT HWY.......
