Hey Dave, Glad the cast is coming off.  It is a "step in the right
direction"
Patti and I will be in FL for the next couple of weeks.
Good luck on the diamond everyone!

Subject: [antiquesBaseball] Norcal Game (maybe doubleheader) this weekend

We're at UNKOWN in Tracy for a game (or maybe a doubleheader) against the

Tracy Oldtimers. (Tracy says they'll know field later in the week. I'll

let you know and send directions when I hear from them.)

Game time is 11am. Showup time is 10am.

Check the website for more info.

  http://esi.xs.com/antiques/

Please respond with whether you are coming or not.

To see what I know about who is coming or not coming to a particular game

check out the "Headcount" link on the site.

Depending on how many people respond quickly, we'll either play one

or two. As before, this is a Norcal game, but all TV players are invited

to play.

Dutch, this is as close as it gets for your possible Livermore guys.

I hope you can get some of them to show up.

Garrett, try to get your guy to come. If Tracy is too far, then there's

not much hope.

Sal, plz call Phil, as usual.

Gus, can you call Danny?

-Denny

Most of you know I'm not much for rules :-), but I'd like to change
a few things this year.

#1. You call me.
I hate (that is HATE) making outgoing phone calls. My work schedule keeps
me at the office late. By the time I'm home, fed, and settled, it's often
kind of late to start calling. So, if you have a question, or wonder if
the weather is OK wherever we're playing, or just want to hear my
voice, call me. If you think I'm ignoring you by not calling, you're wrong;
I don't call anybody if I can help it.

#2. Use my OFFICE phone number.
That is 650-917-7892. This rings twice at my desk and then forwards to my
cellphone. Cellphone has voicemail. Please don't use my home phone any more.
Between babysitting grandkids and Jake's mom in town and Jake's MS, using
the home phone can be disruptive. I turn the cellphone off or hide it in
the garage office if I'm not available, so you can call any time and leave
a message.

#3. Read your email.
I try to keep everybody informed by email. For me, it's the best way to
connect with the 30 or so people on the two teams. And if the email has
a question, please respond. If you hate email, then feel free to call me.
I don't mind incoming calls; it's the outgoing telephone that I HATE.

#4. Set up a buddy system.
If you don't know something, or don't read your email, or are away
or whatever, get somebody to be your proxy. Phil doesn't have email,
but he stays connected through Sal. Gus usually keeps Danny Moore informed.
Instead of everybody calling me, you can talk to each other and get the
information you need.

#5. It's your job to let me know if you cannot make a game. Please respond
early in the week to my email. I'll assume you ARE coming unless you tell
me you're NOT. It's OK to not come; it's not OK to not tell me you're not
coming.

#6. Use the website.
I have lots of info there. I plan to do a facelift sometime this year
to make things easier to find and use. If you need directions to a field,
almost all are available on the site. PLEASE make suggestions for
site improvements. If you'd like something to be on the site that isn't,
please ask.

Subject: MSBL Players Save 40% with Ringor
Bounces-To: Kirk_Ihlenburg_wvsqzy@...
X-Campaign: 652755.652098.592504824

Dear MSBL Player,

Opening day is fast approaching and with that I am thrilled to kick off another season of partnership between the MSBL and Ringor with a special discount on the Diamond Ace spike, one of our premium baseball shoes. Order your Ringor cleats today and you will not only save 40+% but have developed a meaningful relationship with them by opening day.

As the official shoe of the MSBL, we are offering MSBL members the opportunity to purchase the Diamond Ace for just $39.00 (Reg. $70). Click today and you could be enjoying the legendary comfort and durability of the Diamond Ace by Friday. That's right we are even offering a special discounted 2 day shipping from UPS of only $6.00 (Reg. $11.50). That is a total savings of $36.50.

Why does it matter what pair of spikes I invest in for the season? Why should I not recycle my shoes from last year?

As the saying goes; don't go soft, play hardball. And that is just what you do day in and day out. To sustain this level of play you take care of yourself and your equipment should do the same. Using equipment that is uncomfortable or worn out will reduce this level of play and take innings off your baseball life. But it doesn't have to be this way, because for 23 years Ringor has been making baseball spikes that are comfortable and can change the way you feel during the game.

Our Ringor Diamond Ace MSBL promotion provides the perfect opportunity for you to enjoy a successful season of premium comfort and performance at a price point that only a membership in the MSBL can provide.

Some of the Diamond Ace features are a special Achilles Notch that cradles and protects your Achilles tendon, a Shock Sock that resides under the insole absorbing impact pressure through added cushioning. A flex strap at the ball of the foot designed to mimic the natural plantar flexion of the foot, creating a more natural and comfortable bend of the foot when you accelerate and decelerate running down a fly ball or sprinting to home.

Comfort is not the only feature of the Diamond Ace. Performance continues with the exterior of the shoe and its lightweight and durable upper that provides the comfort, agility and speed you demand in a premium baseball spike.

In addition, our Front Four technology features a patented Four spike design which achieves two goals.

       

1.      Power Steering, which enables bursts of movement in all directions and ease of rotation.

2.      Maximum Traction, allowing freedom for lateral movements.

       

I can honestly say that the Diamond Ace is the best baseball cleat money can buy at this price. Your feet deserve to spend the next season in the comfort and performance that only Ringor can provide.

I look forward to supporting your successful season. At Ringor we provide the most premium baseball spikes in the business. Worry about your swing or delivery to the plate this season, we'll take care of your feet.

Play Ball in Ringor!

I just talked to Clyde. The field is iffy right now, and he doesn't
expect that it will get better. We agreed to cancel the game. We
play these guys later in the year anyway.

Get ready for Modesto on Sunday, 3/26, at Modesto. It's a double header,
so we need as many TV guys as we can get.

Hi guys,

Our first Norcal game is this Sunday. We play the Fairfield team
at the Stadium in Vacaville. It's the stadium just behind the old
Nut Tree, right next to the Loew's store.

Game time is Noon. Show up time is 11am.

Any of the TV guys who want to show up are invited to do so. It looks
like we'll have 9 or 10 of last year's Norcal guys, so there's plenty
of room for TV guys to show up.

PLEASE respond with whether you're coming or not so I can get an
idea about headcount.

Check the website for more info.

To see what I know about who is coming or not coming to a particular game
check out the "Headcount" link on the site.

Subject: LV directions amplification/practice field/manager's meeting
Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 18:35:53 -0500
Thread-Index: AcYzUbn153Ud0q1iSDqurixvRzBXEA==

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        I drove the Paul Meyer and Silver Bowl parks today and can amplify the directions a bit here.

        Meanwhile, one thing to remember about Las Vegas is that is it laid out North-South/East-West, with the only 2 major roads on an angle:  Las Vegas Blvd (aka The Strip) and Boulder Highway.

        With that in mind there are several key streets to remember Š

        Going North-South: 

        Paradise Road - runs essentially parallel to LV Blvd on the east side Š best entrance to Sahara Hotel is off Paradise (parking is free).  And it dumps right into the airport.

        Eastern Road

        Decatur and Rainbow Blvds Š key North-South on the west side.

        Going East-West:

        Sunset, southern edge of airport

        Russell, runs from airport to Silver Bowl

        Tropicana, northern edge of airport

        Flamingo, central city

        Sahara,  northern side of Sahara hotel.

        Essentially, in most cases the E-Ws connect with the key N-S roads Š and all the east-west roads connect with Boulder Highway on the far east side of Las Vegas.

        Now, with that being said Š

Sahara to Silver Bowl south

1.      Exit Sahara (you can only turn right) on Paradise and go south to Š

2.      Flamingo Road, turn left, go east to Š

3.      Boulder Highway, turn right, go south to Š

4.      Russell Road, turn left, go east to Š

5.      Russell dead ends into the Silver Bowl, which is UNLV's football stadium.  Turn left on Broadbent in front of the Stadium.  Go North to the first right turn (northern edge of Silver Bowl parking), landmark sign says "Star Nursery Fields".  Turn right and follow road to the end, turn right and follow that road to the end; turn left and that road empties into the ball fields.  

6.      We are playing on the southern field, with the grass infield, follow the road around to the east side where there is parking off the third-base dugout.

7.      Note:  Port-a-John is available; we will have water containers and cups in the dugouts.

Sahara to Paul Meyer Park

1.      it Sahara (you can only turn right) on Paradise and go south to Š

2.      Flamingo Road, turn right, go west to South Tenaya Way, about 5.5 miles.  You will cross Decatur and Rainbow Š Tenaya is the next stoplight after Rainbow.

3.      Turn left on Tenaya, go to the first stop sign Š field will be on your left.

4.      Turn left on New Forest road, go to parking lot, which is beyond the left field line.

5.      Note: Port-a-John is available; we will have water containers and cups in the dugouts.

Travel between parks Š. Use Flamingo Road-Boulder Highway connection.

Practice on Friday?

      Finally, we have secured a field for practice on Friday afternoon.

      Sunset Park #7 Š it is a dirt infield baseball field, a place where you and get loose, do some infield practice and hit some.

      We hold the permit from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday.

      First come, first serve Š please share as I doubt many teams will have a full contingent to work out Š but if anyone wants to throw, this is the place.

      Directions:  Field is at the corner of Sunset and Eastern Roads.

      From the Sahara, take Paradise south to Flamingo; turn left and take Flamingo east to Eastern Road.  Turn right and take Eastern (south) to Sunset Road.  Go through the stoplight and take the first left into Sunset Park.  Field 7 is right at that entrance with a parking lot.

      OR, Take Las Vegas Blvd south to Sunset, turn left; go East on Sunset to Eastern Road, turn right (Sunset Park is on your left) and go to the first left-turn into the park Š Field 7 is right at that entrance with a parking lot.

Manager's Meeting

      Manager's meeting Friday at 7 p.m. in room 2703 at the Sahara.  It's in the Tangier Tower; the Sahara Sports Book is next to the elevators to the tower.  This shouldn't take long, but I will be able to introduce my other field manager, answer questions, and we can have some pop.

Again, thanks to Denny Brown for his directions and to Clyde Jones for his assistance to helping to bring all this together after we were left high and dry by our Las Vegas connections.

See you Friday Š

Cheers
