Seeking Baseball Players-Austin Baseball League

Posted 11-09-2012 at 01:56 PM by griffudd


[quote=griffudd;26880514]The Austin Baseball League is still looking for players age 29 or older to play baseball (hardball). The league is just now starting. Anyone age 29 or older is welcome to come out for the league, regardless of skill level.

We're practicing/playing every Saturday (except Thanksgiving weekend) until Dec 15, 2012. We'll also play on Sundays as well when there are enough players & teams to have Sunday games. Games and practices are at Govalle Park in Austin at 5200 Bolm Rd. Game/scrimmage/practice time is 1 PM on Saturdays.

We practiced for 3 hours last Saturday, Nov 3, 2012 at Govalle Park. Most of the practice was Batting Practice--taking swings off a Juggs Pitching Machine using official MSBL baseballs, with a pitch speed of 75-80mph. We got some excellent batting practice.

We'll be at Govalle Park again next Saturday (Nov 10) at 1 PM. We'll either have a game, scrimmage, or another practice using the Juggs Pitching Machine. We're still looking for both players and teams for the league.

The Outlaws team is now up to 8 players, with more expected to show up Saturday.

    Just a notice that the Austin Outlaws, who are currently seeking players, have a practice game against an outside team on Sunday, Nov 18, at Govalle Park, 5200 Bolm Road in Austin.

    We potentially have 12 players who've either signed up for the team on the Sportsvite website, or otherwise indicated they were interested in playing. We don't know for sure how many will show up for the game. But since it's a practice game, we WILL have a game regardless of how many show up, since there is no minimum-player forfeit rule.

    We're also expecting unaffiliated players from other leagues to show up, including both the Mexican League and the Spanish League.

    So there'll definitely be a game Sunday.

    We also have hats for all of the Outlaws team, which will be handed out Sunday to all of those wanting to play for the Outlaws. See Outlaws Photos




    Hope to see you there.

    Mike

    BASEBALL: Austin Outlaws Game, Dec 23, 2012 at Govalle Park



    Fri, Dec 21, 2012

    The Austin Outlaws and the Austin Baseball League are still actively looking for players for the current winter league, as well as the spring, summer, and fall leagues.
    The Austin Outlaws are scheduled to have a practice game this coming Sunday Dec 23, 2012, at 1PM at Govalle Park, 5200 Bolm Rd in Austin. The game scheduled is against a 24-and-under-aged team, though other players may also play for them. Everyone is welcome to come out for the game. Everyone in attendance will play in the game, and will be in the batting lineup from start-to-finish.
    A Juggs Curvemaster pitching machine will also be available for batting practice on Sunday.

    To reiterate, the Austin Outlaws are still actively looking for players, age 29+, for the winter league.
    Practice games have already begun--with the 1st practice game having been played on Sun Dec 9th. However, official league play has not yet started.

    The Austin Baseball League is open to all players age 29 and over, regardless of ability.
    All that's required is a Desire to play baseball.

    So for anyone who just wants to play baseball and have some fun,
    come on out to Govalle Park on Dec 23, 2012, at 1 PM.
