I am still playing softball. This is one of my big time consumers but I really enjoy getting out there, being competitive, and the exercise I get out of it. Here are some teams that I have been on through the years. Shoulder Injuries-After fighting several years of shoulder problems, and multiple surgeries, (all but one was an open surgery, not minor arthoscopic and some requiring overnight stays), I have resigned myself to a coaching role. I am now coaching a team and that is filling the gap of the need for a competitive sport. To see these guys get better and work hard every week to be better, gives me a satisfaction that I never had any idea it could. I am doing some catching and hitting now but very limited. The level I am participating is good because it has me doing some cardio that I need to do. The Fireballs in San Diego where they took first place.
I have been a part of a team called the Traviesos for the last few years. Unfortunately, the team disbanded due to several reasons but a group of about six of us went to another team, called The LA Force. Some of the Force guys moved on to join an existing team called the Fireballs, which I am a part of now and coaching. Below is a pictures of me in a Palm Springs tournament in January 2005 playing first base followed by some pictures of the Force team.
