Wash. Rinse. Repeat. This was the recap for most of the past 6 weeks, and unfortunately, all I need to do is copy it for this week. Old Fart Softball was rained out this past week. Fortunately, the weather outlook for this week is positive with no rain!!!!!

I am reposting information from the update from last week as it contains a reminder to arrive early due to church services taking place (and taking parking) at the school. Please arrive early and understand that street parking may be necessary. Also, we will be playing on the upper field.

Please RSVP to the email chain with your intentions for the coming weeks' game due to it getting later into the season, light attendance two weeks ago, and the "parking situation". It is only fair that people who need to travel have a good idea what to expect when they leave for the game on Sunday morning.

I look forward to hearing about a great game this week..

Well, Old Fart Softball came back to life this past week, albeit with a 7 on 7, 6 inning game. The final score was 16-8 to the home team. The game was played on the upper field. Jordan hit an inside-the-park home run, as did Gabe. Danny did them one better blasting a home run shot into the forest in right.

Apparently, since we have been away due to weather, a church as started holding services on Sunday mornings at the school. As such, parking was very difficult this past Sunday, and we needed to use street parking. This was also the reason we needed to use the upper field as cars were parked very tightly in foul territory. This is why we will need to use the upper field. As such, please try to arrive a bit earlier, and realize we may need to park on the street.

Please RSVP to the email chain with your intentions for the coming weeks' game due to it getting later into the season, last weeks' light attendance and the "parking situation".

I look forward to hearing about a great game this week..

Sorry for the late email. It seems that three straight weeks without Old Fart Softball has gotten me off schedule. It is time to get back on schedule and back to Old Fart Softball this week. The weather looks very promising and I am sure that everyone is ready to get back on the field. The rules remain the same, even if I remind to please show up with enough time for us to start at 10;00 so we have plenty of time to get in a full 9 inning game. Also, as a reminder, if th field needs work, please keep the dirt on the dirt. Aside from that, hopefully its PLAY BALL.

As it has been a while since our last game, please RSVP your intentions of playing to the email chain so everyone knows what to expect when they leave for the game Sunday morning.

I look forward to hearing about a great game this week

So, unfortunately, this recap email will be even shorter than last week's. We were rained out last week, making it two consecutive weeks of no Old Fart Softball. With the strong Nor'Easter expected this weekend, it looks like that streak will continue to three. Hopefully, we can regroup next weekend. Stay safe, and stay dry

09/17/2026

Well, last week Mother Nature thought that Old Fart Softball needed a break, so we were rained out. Hopefully the same will not be true this week but, again, the weather reports are not promising. Lets not give up hope yet. Also, remember to be gentile while "maintaining" the field. We still do not want to upset anyone. Please use this email chain as a means to keep everyone informed and in the loop with information. Also, please, feel free to add anyone to the chain, as people may have inadvertently fallen off.

Trying to stay optimistic about Sunday.

We pulled off a very successful "double header" over the Labor Day holiday weekend. In the first game, on Sunday, we had 21 participants. The home team won comfortably 26-18 in an 8 inning game. Among the highlights were Manny slugging 2 doubles and a triple; Pyramid Builder with a driving shoe string catch in center and triple up the hill in right field. OG Chuck slugged a double over the of everyone to center field. We hope that Omar has a speedy recovery from a pulled hammy.

In the second game of the "double header", on Monday, we also had 21 participants. We welcomed back Daniel and Randy. Again, the home team won, this time by a score of 23-7 in a full 9 inning game. Dave C was stellar on the mound for the home squad. Pyramid Builder had another stellar diving catch in center and then drove a shot to deep left for a triple. Danny made a great diving catch at third, and Julius slugged his first home run.

We look to keep things rolling as the calendar heads into fall. As some people will be celebrating holidays this weekend, please RSVP your intentions for the game this week. Everything else has been going smoothly, so congratulation to everyone.

I hope to hear about a great game this week. Please feel free to text me info for the game recap.

Another successful week of Old Fart Softball is in the books. Last week, we had a turnout of 18. The game was generally close and well played with the away side hanging on for a 13-11 victory. We welcomed back Randy and were glad the John Ross paid us a visit. Some of the game highlights were Eli making a great catch running down the hill and into foul territory in RF, Gabe with a triple and home run, Julius with a triple to deep LF, and Will sticking out his glove from the pitchers mound to snag a hard line drive.

This week (9/6 and 9/7) we are looking to play a "double header" with games on both Sunday and Monday. Hopefully Mother Nature allows us the opportunity. As it is a holiday weekend and vacation weekend, Please RSVP with your intentions for BOTH Sunday and Monday. If we do not get enough positive (14 please) RSVPs by Sunday evening, for Monday's game, we will not play.

Thank you to everyone for getting to the field, and ready to play, for us to get in a full 9 innings. Lets keep up the good work.

I look forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

So, last week was a wash out for Old Fart Softball, and that makes for a quick weekly recap. The poor field conditions were the main culprit with second base turned into a swimming pool. Hopefully this week will bring better field conditions. Again, lets do our best to keep play on the lower field and when working on the fields, keep the dirt on the dirt. We do not want to antagonize anyone.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday

08/20/2026

I am glad to report that there were no police, no Board of Ed, nor any groundskeepers laying in wait to cancel Old Fart Softball last week, Everything went on as normal. We had 25 hearty souls come out. The final score was 12-4 to the home team. We welcomed back, after a long hiatus Jordan!! We also welcomed for the first time, George. A few of the highlights of the week were; Jason hitting a shot to the fence in left center; Omar caught a (life saving?) line drive right back to the pitcher; and Jen with a no look backhand shovel throw to 2B for a great force out. Thank you everyone for coming out after the previous week.

The rules such as they are remain the same. As the weather heading into Sunday is going to be a little wet, as we get the field playable, lets keep the dirt on the dirt. Also, lets keep things to the lower field if at all possible.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday

08/13/2026

Well, last week was not our finest hour. With 24 in attendance, our game was stopped in the top of the third inning by a Board of Education employee who did not like the way we made the upper field playable, as the bottom field was unplayable. We left before the police showed up.

With that in mind, this week, please only attempt to play on the lower field, which should be in ok shape as it really has not rained this week. If anyone from the Board of Ed, or the police asks us to leave please do so without any questions. They might be keeping "an eye out". I hope everything goes smoothly this week, and this is just water under the bridge.

Unfortunately, i will not be able to play this week, but I hope to see everyone next week.
