There will be lots of Antiques playing in tournaments this fall.
Bob Wilms will manage the Norcal Giants (55+) in the Roy Hobbs World Series in Ft. Myers, Florida. Sunday, Nov. 14 through Saturday, Nov. 20.
I will manage the Norcal Antiques (60+) in the same tournament that week.
We did not organize an Antiques team for MSBL or NABA in Phoenix this year. But we have lots of Antiques playing on various teams. Here’s a few that I know about:
- Terry Gammill and I are playing on Lanny Ropke’s Sacramento Patriots team in MSBL 60+ Mountain Oct. 18 – 23.
- Mike Flick, Randy Olson, Angelo Crudale, and maybe others are playing with Dick Giberti’s Bothman Oaks in the same division.
- Zach Jones is playing with Donny DeCordova’s TriValley Hawks team in 60+ Central.
- Rich Battiato is playing with Rob Segura’s MSBL 50+ team.
If you know about other Antiques* playing this fall, including yourself, add a comment.

*Antiques include anybody who has played on regular season or tournament teams any time, any place. Once an Antique, always an Antique.
