MSBL / MABL World Series Spotlight on

Steve Carter (45+ Colorado Blues)

Dawn Carter understands that men enjoy

sharing time with the boys and supports her

husband of 21 years with his MSBL team.

She has traveled with him to five of the nine

Fall Classic tournaments in Florida, and no

doubt the weather in November on the East

Coast is a bit different than at their home in

Lakewood, Colorado. Steve has been an or-

thodontist since moving to the mountains 31

years ago, and began playing softball there

before there was an option to play adult base-ball. After playing high school and college

baseball at Drake University, Steve had heard

of MSBL in the Denver area and decided to

give up the big ball for the real game he grew

up with. In 1995 he was playing for Gary

Triolo with the Denver Yankees, a team with

modest success but plenty of good friend-

ships. When Gary moved to Florida, the

older core of the Yankees team moved up to

the 45+ Division and became the Colorado

Blues. He is now in his 20th year in MSBL,

and has assumed the general manager role

for the team. His good friend, Art SpudKendrick enjoys field manager duties and

recruits players but isnt fond of the paper-

work and collecting money. Steve has the

respect of his teammates and assumes those

tasks so that the operation continues success-

fully. Last year the Blues made the final four

in the World Series like they did in 2008 and

2009 in the Fall Classic. Steve recalls the

year that rain impacted the Series and games

were rescheduled at all hours of day and

night. He also has good memories of playing

against former Major League stars like Bill

Spaceman Lee and Minnie Minoso. After

all, its baseball..a guy thing to share with

your buddies.

Remember - No Drinking or Tobacco products are allowedon the fields during the MSBL / MABL World Series.

Pre Game Plate Meeting Can Be Strategically Vital to Teams SuccessSeveral 45+ Teams In A Must Win Situation Today In Order To Advance

By Tom Prendergast

Its an important part of the game to be sure, the pre-game plate meeting between the m

agers and umpires. In addition to exchanging lineups and going over ground rules, the o

issues that get discussed are sometimes crucial to a teams game strategy. For example, if

are playing in a participation division (Central or Cactus) and have to bat a minimum n

ber of players, its important to know how many other players are on a teams roster for

game. If one team only has 13 players, then the other team has the option of matching number in their batting order. Teams should not list more players than they have dressed

ready to participate in the game on the lineup card. Make sure that both umpires and the ot

teams manager know how many players are available to play in that game. Same with

special exemptions for underage players that you received from the National Office be

arriving in Arizona. By pointing these players out before the game you will save yourse

phone call from the WS office later on.

A quick glance at the 45+ standings page and you see plenty of teams that are 3-2 or

Depending on what happens today, these teams may or may not advance to the playoffs.

Old Hickory Bat Returns to the MSBL World Series

Jon Moyer and his Old Hickory

Bats return again to the MSBL

National Tourney and Tradeshow.

For over two decades, Jon has

been handcrafting bats for MSBL

Players as well as professionals,

collegians, high schoolers and

more. His display will be at the

Trade Show along with many fine

vendors this weekend.

On Wednesday, Jon will be set up

just outside the Tempe Diablo

Stadium along with Dove and Max

Bats. He will be offering some

specials from his stock of bats for

guys that cannot wait until the

Trade Show for new lumber. In

addition to Maple, Ash and Birch Bats, Jon will also be offering

batting gloves, pine tar and other player supplies.

Home Plate Meeting Before Hand Sets The Tone(continued from page 1) and then runs allowed. So if you didnt p

a team from the other division in pool play, head-to-head doesnt

apply and runs allowed are the determining factor. Verify your tot

are correct on the web site: www.msblworldseries.com.
