Practices begin in August for MSBL 65-and-over World Series

It's that time again. It is time to prepare for the 2011 Men's Senior Baseball League (MSBL) World Series. This year, I'll be playing in the 65-and-over division and the games will take place at those beautiful spring training complexes in Phoenix, Arizona, Oct. 24 through Oct. 30.

Two years in a row I have battled one injury or another, so I'm hoping the third time is a charm, and that this will be the year I'll be able to put it all together, along with my teammates on the Tucson Golden Aces. Last year, it was the team from Canada that kept us out of the playoffs and chances are we'll meet up with the Canadians again this year. The Aces will be coached once again by Mike Morales (from the Old Pueblo Club)and we will have players on the roster from as far away as Saratoga, New York, Ft. Myers, Fla., and Rapid City, S.D.

We begin practice next month, every Saturday morning, at Reid Park, field #5.
