Trying to have a 2nd Fall season. Players need to tell Managers weather you are committed or not. Money talks.

We play with time constraints of "no new inning after 2:30 with a time limit of 2:40, finish inning". And, in order to prevent a repeat of yesterday causing friction, the SEVEN (7) rule will be implemented until season's end.

The SEVEN (7) Rule pertains to pitchers. A Team gets 7 times to the mound in one game. Once exhausted, the pitchers is replaced. Each time thereafter, a "visit" to the mound will trigger replacement of the pitcher.

To be very Clear: A VISIT is 1. manager going to mound, 2. a position player (catcher, shortstop, center fielder, etc.) going to mound area; OR, 3. a pitcher going to talk to another player.

Seven total times and pitcher is removed from mound. 8th visit, pitcher is removed. 9th visit, pitcher is removed, etc. Once removed, NO pitcher so removed can return to pitch in that game!

Managers use this rule wisely. Umpires can declare when they believe it is a visit. No arguments about this. Games can be declared finished. Offending team forfeits.

Once play resumes, rule changes until further notice: 1. All players sign COVID 19 Waiver prior to play. Managers will offer prior to game. 2. STEALING: Coaches Option at Plate. Only one can insist no stealing, then it happens for that game. 3. Six (6) run rule exist for 1st 6 innings. Swap field after 6th run scores. If time has expired, and last inning is being played, then each team abates this rule in order to have a chance to win. otherwise, Rule is abated in innings 7,8,or 9.

4. Mask required in dugout unless social distancing can be maintained. 5. Each Team Manager bring bottle of hand sanitizer for each game.

So far Jerry Spencer remains the oldest member to hit a homer 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.

For his Perfect Season in his Rookie Year. For his handling all the well-earned "flak" on every baseball decision he made. For his masterful tactics of keeping the 9 who did not like him separated from the 9 who did. And, for keeping his sense of humor when those baseball decisions blew up in his face, the Title of Manager of Year for 2020 goes to MR JIM LEE of the YardGoats. He won by one vote.

This policy is meant to be right up front.

Several 2020 National Tournaments are on the horizon. In order to participate in these events, players need to be SAMSBL league members.

To attend the National World Series, a player or team needs to have participated in the SAMSBL league. The SAMSBL has a strict policy regarding tournament players. All League Members sign their respective waivers agreeing to the policy. Any player needs a release from me to play on any other team in the nation.

If you play in the SAMSBL, then support the SAMSBL with your talents on the tournament teams at all times. Even pool players need a release. We send over a dozen teams to state and national tournaments. There is room for all who wish to go.
