BAD NEWS FOR PITCHERS, GOOD NEWS FOR BATTERS
The new ASA rule changes for 2010 have just been announced. The two biggies that will affect us:
1. Knob cuffs are now legal.
2. Pitching height limits are changed to 6-10 feet. No more 12-foot pitches!
Seems to me that a lot more pitchers are going to be injured with this rule, for two reasons:
Flatter pitches are easier to hit harder, and Pitchers will have less time to back out when their pitches are flatter and get to the plate faster.

Practice Sunday at noon at Dexter (Dodds if somebody else is using Dexter).
Temp will be near 70, the sun will be shining, should be a great day for softball!
Also, Tom Young tells me that several guys from the Pteradactyls (the team we used to play on Sundays) plan on coming so it would be great to have enough to play a game.

Did Rudy leave my bat bag with anyone before he left for Florida?
I loaned it to him when the 65er's went to Phoenix. I was going to
pick it up last Thursday, the 29th, but my game was rained out.
Also, does the Thursday night team play at 7:00 tonight?

Wyatt, click on the blue word STATS up top (in the header) and you'll get the season's stats.
Or am I not understanding what you mean?

Ouch! Great Illini game yesterday! I went to the 83' game - the last time Illinois beat Michigan at home. That was quite a season.

Just a note to let you know that we will continue our Sunday noon practices at Dexter until it becomes uncomfortable. Everybody is welcome! Weather is supposed to be great tomorrow. If we have enough, we'll play a game. Otherwise we'll all get some batting practice in. We start at noon, but several people get there at 12:30 or 1:00 and that's fine. In other news, the new issue of Lost Treasure magazine has an article about me in it: http://creativitycoachingsite.com/treasuremanual/losttreasure.htmNot very well written, but I'll take it. ---Dan, http://danhughes.net

A little humor on a rainy day: URGENT: ILLINI football practice was delayed 2 hours today after a player found an unknown substance on the field.
The head coach suspended practice and called federal investigators.
FBI forensic experts determined the white substance was the GOAL LINE.
Practice resumed after agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again this season..

OK, Greg. Maybe someone else wants to take my place. 2 late games in a row is a little tough. 95 miles round trip. Don

Don, Thanks for the offer; I can't play tonight or next Thursday (Nov. 5) due to work and travel commitments. If the season runs longer I'll be ready for Nov. 12, but the team would suffer a big letdown from you to me.
