Hello League,

This is reminder to all players, coaches, fans and managers.

There is no outside alcohol permitted at any of our game locations. Triwood, Webber, Aero, Charleswood 1 and 2 and this also includes, all areas surrounding those field locations. Unfortunately, our friends at Triwood sent a picture to us this morning, which was taken after last nights games at Triwood.

A large group from one of the teams that played last night at Triwood was recorded on Triwood property with coolers and what was assumed to be alcohol that was not purchased from JT’s Lounge.

Gentlemen, this does not meet CSMS 55+ expectations of the code of conduct for respect of property, and it jeopardizes the liquor licensing of Triwood Community Center.

JT’s Lounge was open last night, which should have provided a perfect location for an after-game libation.

Please be respectful of the rules of all of the parks and locations where we play softball.

We certainly do not want to offend any of our partners and we do not want to have to take further action against any offending Teams, Players, Coaches or Managers.

Thank you.
Chris Tucker
President

Hello Everyone
A bat was found at Triwood Diamond after Mondays Games between the Rangers and the Cubs.

The bat is a Miken Primo and is purple in colour.

The bat is currently being stored inside the Seacan at Triwood.

Thanks Everyone

Hi Everyone,

I have had several people reach out to me about what Bats can be used in our League.

The Picture for this Post shows the Six Logos that are acceptable.
Your Bat must have one of these Logos and also meet the other criteria listed Below.

All this info can be found on our Website. Please Look on the Left Hand Side of the Home Page, under Links,
click on RULES OF PLAY.

Then click on
2024 Calgary Senior Mens 55 Rules

Look Under
RULE 2 – EQUIPMENT, Section 2.2

Here is the Rule listed below,
Sec. 2.2: Only Bats with any of the following six logos on them that are not on the ASA
list of non-approved bats, may be used during any league or playoff game. No other bats
are allowed, nor are any bats that are dented, altered, or damaged in any way such that,
in the opinion of the umpire, they may pose a danger to the players or may give an
unfair advantage. Teams are to ensure that all bats that are to be used during a game
are available to be inspected by the umpire before the game starts. Illegal or altered
bats will be removed from the game and use of said bats will result in an ejection for
both player and Manager. Further discipline may be forthcoming as a result.

Hey Everyone,

Just a reminder that there are no games scheduled for “A” Division on this coming
Tuesday morning, May 14th because of a prescheduled Triwood activity.
( movie being filmed )

All evening games for the “AA” Division are not affected by this event and are still scheduled for their normal start times.
But it is suggested that because of the trailers, equipment and cameras that are set up in and around the Arena, parking may be an issue so please arrive early to find a place to park.

Thanks Everyone for your attention to this message.

Regards,

Hey Everyone,

One of the sure signs of spring for me, are the messages about items left behind at our ball games.
Here is the First of the Season.
(I’m not including the water bottle I found after a practise last week that belonged to Phil, which made its way back to him minutes after)
We are looking for a Lost article of clothing.
At last Thursday’s games at Webber Athletic Park between the Expos and the Blue Jays, one of our Fans who was on the 3rd base side
left a grey XL hoodie / pullover, with Linde on the Arm at the Diamond.

If anyone that was at those games as a fan or was playing in those games and happened to pick that Hoodie up,
please let me know so that it may be returned to its rightful owner. ( I don’t want to embarrass Mike W, so I won’t mention the former Twins Coach full name here)

So Hey everyone, Let’s all be on the Lookout for Gloves, bats, water bottles, clothing etc etc after the games are finished.
Think of all the League Messages we might be able to prevent !!

Send me a message if you picked up that Hoodie.

Thanks Everyone,
Paul M
