The Rio Grande Valley Senior Texan Softball League is back for its 32nd year. The league is open to all local Texans as well as Winter Texan individual senior men and women aged 55 years and older. The youngest player last year was 57, and the most experienced player was 85. Last year over 110 seniors played in the league and this year they hope to top that.Maybe you can’t run as fast as you could 20 or 30 years ago. Maybe you can’t throw and catch like you once did, but it really doesn’t matter. A few of the past new players never even played softball before, but it didn’t matter. There are two different divisions for the senior men and women players that are based on individual skill levels, and not on age. Maybe you don’t have a glove or bat anymore? No problem, they will have equipment to loan you.The league practices have already started at McAllen’s West Side Park, located on S. Ware Rd. directly across from the McAllen Convention Center. The A Division practice is held every Tuesday and Thursday at 9 a.m., and the B Division practice is every Monday and Wednesday at 9 a.m. The practices run now through December. The first week of January the league will “draft” players onto teams attempting to make each team as equal as they can.Why don’t you call or stop by to see if senior slow pitch might be right for you. There are plenty of bleachers if you want to just sit and watch. Of course, you’ll also be invited to join them on the field and throw the ball around as well.For more information, call Fred Esqueda at (956) 897-6961 or Mike Brower at (734) 834-0128, or email Mike at mbrower@umich.edu.</div></body>
