We are going to be practicing on Sundays out at New Scotland between now and the Fall Classic. It has been proposed that we conduct a "make-up" to the rained out Home Run Derby this Sunday at New Scotland. It will be a lot more realistic for us older fellas to hit it out of that park than it would have been at the Joe. I am up for it. How many takers do we have?
Actually, great idea for HR Derby. Perhaps, using metal, we can have the 28s vs. 38s vs. 47s (hey, we have some older guys who can hit it out!!!). The overall winner gets 40% of the pot and the winning team splits the other 60%. $10 a player.
In addition, maybe even have a combined 38/47 team play a 28 team in a 7-inning wood-bat game. But the 28+ has to use 38+ pitchers who also play in the 28s. (In other words, no Shook, Curtis, etc). Or, they can use Shook, etc., but the older divisions get to use metal and the 28s have to use wood.
A second game could be the teams going to Florida vs. anyone from the CDMSBL not going to Fla. I think we can get the field for the entire day. Start at 10:30 a.m. with HE Derby between games.
I know it's late, but what the hay. We can decide by Friday and make it a go.
I know Sunday is NFL day, but it's probably the better of the two weekend days. Thoughts? JimK
