Got the 2007 Invitation for the Huntsman Worlds in the mail today. This year they are going to allow Ultra IIs, Senior Combats and or any bat that meets the 1:20 BPF criteria. They also have a new complex ready to go & are expecting to be able to accomodate most of the waiting list from over the years.
    

Being finalists in Huntsman last year earned us an invitation to the NSGA Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky. Any interest? Me personelly, if I had to make a decission on amount of time to take off during the year and amount of money available to spend I could find other tournmanets I would rather do, but  you guys let me know.

February 10, 2007 - Softball barnstormer Eddie Feigner of “The King & His Court” passed away at age 81 yesterday. Feigner with his trademark crewcut and bulging right arm and his four man team crossed the country for more than 50 years taking on all challengers. Feigner with his 104 MPH fastball recorded 930 no-hitters, 238 perfect games and struck out 141,517 batters in more than 10,000 games. In a nationally televised exhibition game in 1964 from Dodger Stadium, Eddie struck out now MLB Hall of famers Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Maury Wills, Harmon Killebrew, Roberto Clemente, and Brooks Robinson in order. Rest In Peace Eddie.
