Baseball Starts but a Great Softball Season Is Already Ending by Bob Rittner for Many Seniors, Baseball Has Al- Ways Been the National Game April 2015 Published Since 1968 Only Good News for 47 Years Volume 47 No. 4 Baseball starts but a great softball season is already ending By Bob Rittner For many seniors, baseball has al- ways been the national game. We played every variety as chil- dren - from softball to stickball to one o’ cat and more. For us, baseball is no longer an option, but with softball, and modi- fications to account for age, the sport remains a way to excite us and engage Above, Joe Farrell has his eyes on the ball for an infield catch. John Schneider, cen- us. ter, was also moving in on the play and Howard Huff was backing up both players Why do we get up at 7 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday to play? from the outfield. Below, second baseman Guy Bertuzzi prepares to catch a fly ball, “We have fun,” said President Guy Bertuzzi. “This has been the most suc- while shortstop Paul Fice and outfielder Allan Bendert hope for a good finish. cessful season of my 16 years in On Top of the World softball. We have added (OTOW News photos by Doug Kates) many new players and they acclimate quickly to our style - competitive but always friendly.” The morning starts out with 30 young men. Teams are divided equally and everyone plays. There can be as many as five outfielders or five infielders, but no one sits the bench. There are home runs, catches on the fly in the outfield, fantastic defensive scoops in the infield, and aggressive baserunning which would make any wife hold her breath. Tony Caputo, treasurer and longest term player with 21 years, agrees this has been a great winter. “More players, few rainouts and exciting games made this one of the best seasons I have experienced,” Tony said. “Of course, I am sorry to see the season end,” Guy said, “but with so many players leaving for the north, it is probably the right time to end it.” Sure, there is a humorous side when a bunch of veterans get together and pretend they are all 20 years old again. You can get one person’s point of view in Doug Kates’ column on page 14. But for real, next time it’s 8 a.m., think about what you’re doing and then realize these guys are taking batting practice, cleaning their cleats or warming up their arms. Sure, baseball season starts this month, but it’s a little late. Another great season has already taken place. John Schneider, a rookie, reflects the attitude of many when he says he loves the laughs and the camaraderie ... “A fellow Canadian told me what fun it is and he sure was right,” John said. “And don’t forget,” added Jim Kemp, “after the game, we go for a convivial breakfast.” Page 2 / April 2015 ON TOP OF THE WORLD NEWS ON TOP OF THE WORLD NEWS April 2015 / Page 3 Preparations before you head north March provided us with great weather to kick off the community’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
