Tryouts for new players to be Held on February 12. Site TBD.

60+ will be at 11 am. 50+ at 12 30 pm. 30+ at 2 pm.

We are looking to have 60+, 50+, and 35+ at two (2) sites. March through September for one season with teams getting 15 - 18 games spread out over the months. Expect some weekends off.

An Update: 64 years, & 3 months old is one JJ Bailey who is the oldest League Player to hit an In-the-Park home run. Now everyone knows.

So far Jerry Spencer remains the oldest member to hit a home run. In order for his head not swell, need someone older to de-throne him. A little known fact for SAMSBL is the "older" players are monitored for a rare accomplishment.

And that is hitting home runs, rare, very rare. But miracles do happen every once and a while.

Some history: the first "old" guy to hit a home run was Pete Powell at Sanchez-Spencer when he was 57. The 2nd was Tom Keyser at Blanco at 58. The 3rd was Nelson Wolff at Texas State when he was 64.

And now, at 66 years and TWO months, is the current record holder, Jerry Spencer at Blanco 2 weeks ago.

He is thinking his ball rolled a total distance of nearly 500 feet from Home plate. That record is 617 feet.

Some 2023 details

We have a new site to play baseball in 2023. It has lights. So we can expand. Over the next month all managers will be invited to see the location. It means we can add more teams and play some Saturday games. More details offered here as they become available.

We are looking to have a 50+ division and a 60+ division and a younger division. Expect to play 15 - 18 games. We start in March and will end in September. Details will be published here during late December and early January.

We will have a Managers meeting on 7 December to address all pertinent information for the 2023 season.

I will ask each Manager for a $1,000 deposit that night. I expect about $3,000 per team for 2023.

Several new teams will join us.

The LEGENDS concept of 70+ was quite a success. And we will continue the practice. But we will modify our LEGENDS approach to address a growing problem: AGE. It seems that many of us are "falling off the table" as far as skill and ability is concerned. We are not near as good as we think we are!

To address this situation, I will declare the LEGENDS League for those "C" players who still want to play, because you are vertical, yet will not see a lot of field time on a better squad. In short, you should stop, but like me, you still want to "suit up". So I will create a League for us "C" players to be on the field every game.

Details to follow. Expect cost to be about $400 per player.
