VISIT TO CITIZENS BANK PARK
February 18, 2009
It was a cloudy and sometimes rainy day, but that didn't dampen the spirit or enthusiasm of the 20 or so softball'ers that made
the trip. What was billed as a 90 minute tour evolved into a 2 1/2 hour session, including lunch in the dining area. Many thanks go out to John Duffin
for his work in arranging this event, and for all of the photos he snapped, several of which are shown below. Don't forget to double

The Montgomery County Senior Softball League is a Slow Pitch League that had its beginnings in March of 1999. It is
now going into its eleventh season with eight teams, Magics, Marshals, Marvels, Maulers, Mavericks, Minutemen, Mongrels, and Mustangs, and the travel
team, the Marauders.
The league is for male players 60 years of age and older, whose skills may not have kept pace with their enjoyment of the game.
The League is registered with the amateur Softball Association of Pennsylvania (ASA) and abides by their playing rules with modifications for our senior league and
players. Some rules have been softened to protect the players such as: no base stealing; no sliding into bases; no metal spikes; and to avoid collisions, the League
uses two first bases, and two home plates.
Everyone plays and bats. The league emphasis is on safe play, having fun, demonstrating sportsmanship, getting some exercise, having some laughs, enjoying
camaraderie, and winning, in that order of importance. We don't worry about dropping or misjudging fly balls, striking out, missing ground balls, bad throws, or
having back to back senior moments, as we have all done these things in the past, and will likely continue to do so in the future. We are thankful we can still
play for the love of the game.
Membership contribution is $65.00 per player per season and this pays for balls, bats, insurance coverage, postage, and other league expenditures.
