Game Tuesday, May 15, Antiques Red vs. Giants

0

We have another mid-week game this week. This is another makeup game from an earlier rainout.

Laney College, 7:30 game time, 6:45 show up time.

The entire field (including base-paths) is artificial turf.  They say any type of shoes (metal or rubber) can be used.  (If you have more than one pair of shoes, you might want to bring both to see which one works best.)  J

The baseball Field is at:   5th Ave & 8th Street, Oakland, Ca.  The best approach is from I-880. Here’s a Google Map.

Directions (from the South) from I-880

Take exit 40 for Embarcadero toward 5th Avenue  0.3 mi
Turn right onto Embarcadero 0.1 mi
Immediately Turn right onto 5th Ave
5th runs right into the Ball Field at 5th Ave and 8th Street.

 

Directions (from the North) from I-880

Take exit 1B for Jackson St 0.5 mi
Merge onto 5th St 69 ft
Turn left onto Jackson St 0.1 mi
Turn right onto 7th St 0.2 mi
Continue onto E 8th St  0.4 mi
Look for the Field on your left.
(Probably need to U-Turn at 5th Ave to get on the right side of the street.)

There is a parking lot behind center field, or you can park on the street behind right field.  The Baseball Field will be unlocked around 7PM, but the parking lot will be open before that.

Hi guys,

We will play  Antiques Red vs. Antiques Blue on Tuesday, May 8, at Laney College in Oakland. Game time is 7:30. Show up time is 6:45. This is the makeup game from our rainout on what would have been the opening weekend.

As I’m writing this (Thu evening), we have 17 confirmed “Yes”. We need 18 at least and I’d like to get to 22 if at all possible. The list below is our current info. We’ll update this as we hear from you.

Part-timers: This is a good game for you guys to show up. For those of you who haven’t heard, Laney’s field has been redone. All turf, and lights, of course. I’ve been told that it is now a great field to play on.

If you’re reading this on the web, please submit the form below to let us know. If you’re reading this in your email client, and you don’t want to go to the web to submit the form, just send email to Gus.

Results 4/21 and 4/22

The Black Sox beat the Giants in the opening game on Saturday, 22-1. I don’t have any details; I got there too late.

The Blue lost to the Braves on Saturday, 13-3. Rankin Lyman, Bobby Scott, and Mike Perona did the pitching. New recruit Dave Roberto scored 2 of the three runs. We had 17 guys for this opening game. A few were Red players who came because we were going to be short or came because they were confused.

On Sunday, the Red lost to the Tribe, 9-3. Ted Hinckley and Mike Perona did the pitching. We were ahead 2-0 early on, but the Tribe came back on us. We had only 9 guys for this one, a few of whom played on Saturday too.

Please remember to let Gus know whether you’re playing or not. It helps us figure out whether we need to talk anybody into doubling up. And it helps us prevent having 17 guys one day and 9 the next. :-)

I still need fees from many of you. If you haven’t paid yet, please do it now.

 

Results from Palm Beach Classic

0

I played in the Palm Beach Classic last week. The event is put on by Play at the Plate. The tournament takes place at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, FL. This year there were 10 teams in two divisions. 6 teams were in the “full rules” division. 4 teams in the “modified rules” division. I played on the White Sox in “modified rules”. Both divisions make no age restrictions. The modified rules teams tended to be a bit older, but we had a 22 year old on our team, for example. I was second oldest on our team.

I just talked to Gus. Max Baer is muddy and full of puddles now (9:45pm). It will get worse, cuz the rain is not planning to quit. So no practice on Sunday, 3/25/12.

I also just got the word that we will start the season next weekend! We’ll play next weekend, take the Easter weekend off, and play the weekend of the 14th and 15th. I will post the detailed schedule tomorrow, Sunday.
