The 2025 Season Starts April 6th at CC Kahlig Park! All Games will be 2H30M long with No New Inning after 2H20M.
The Start Times for Sunday Games will be for Game 1 will be 8 30 AM. Game 2 at 11 45 AM. Game 3 at 2 00 PM. Game 4 at 4 45 PM.
Games will Start on Time. Teams hustle out of Dugouts so next game can start on time. Managers have Lineups ready for Umpires at Plate meeting. GAMES CAN END IN A TIE. IF TIME PERMITS, ONE EXTRA INNING. IF NOT, GAME OVER!
40-45+
45 Teams will play baseball rules as modified by SAMSBL. Stealing, throw outs from Outfield, Tags at the Plate, etc.
60+
60+ Teams will play a modified game of baseball. FIVE (5) RUNS LIMIT PER INNING. SWAP FIELD. No Stealing 2nd at all. Steal 3rd & Home only if Ball passes the catcher and get outside the Circle. Go more than halfway down 3rd base line, runner must continue to plate. Catcher does NOT have to tag runner, just have foot on plate with ball prior to runner touching plate. OUT if Catcher has ball prior to Runner touching Plate. SAFE if Runner beats the Throw!
No Throw to FIRST BASE if baseball finds grass behind the infield!
15 Runs After 5 Innings. 12 runs after 7 innings, only for 45 Ball!
IMAGE and REPUTATION has served us well for 32+ years. As we trek toward our 4th Decade of playing adult baseball, please remember that we earned our "right" to play on QUALITY fields because we "Play with Class at ALL TIMES"!!!!!!
With 3 weeks of play, some observations:
With such tight turns between games, vacating team move their equipment from the dugout, immediately. Have the post game comments behind the dugout so the incoming team can trigger their game on time.
For 60 Ball, no stealing 2nd base at all. If a pick-off attempt at 1st base, runner must tag 1st before advancing to 2nd base.
May Schedule has been modified slightly. Please take notice!!

An Update: 64 years, & 3 months old is one JJ Bailey who is the oldest League Player to hit an In-the-Park home run. Now everyone knows.
So far Jerry Spencer remains the oldest member to hit a home run. In order for his head not swell, need someone older to de-throne him.
A little known fact for SAMSBL is the "older" players are monitored for a rare accomplishment.
And that is hitting home runs, rare, very rare. But miracles do happen every once and a while.
Some history: the first "old" guy to hit a home run was Pete Powell at Sanchez-Spencer when he was 57. The 2nd was Tom Keyser at Blanco at 58. The 3rd was Nelson Wolff at Texas State when he was 58.
And now, at 66 years and TWO months, is the current record holder, Jerry Spencer at Blanco 2 weeks ago.
He is thinking his ball rolled a total distance of nearly 500 feet from Home plate. That record is 617 feet.

The High School Team has started its play off run. Our Saturdays game schedule will, again, be determined by how far they can advance. Run should be over mid-May.
Memorial Day weekend will see us playing a reduced schedule as some players are traveling to play in a tournament somewhere.
The June Schedule will be published shortly. And we will modify our games around some Select Ball tournaments.

This policy is meant to be right up front.
Several 2025 National Tournaments are on the horizon. In order to participate in these events, players need to be SAMSBL league members.
To attend the National World Series, a player or team needs to have participated in the SAMSBL league. The SAMSBL has a strict policy regarding tournament players. All League Members sign their respective waivers agreeing to the policy. Any player needs a release from me to play on any other team in the nation.
If you play in the SAMSBL, then support the SAMSBL with your talents on the tournament teams at all times. Even pool players need a release. We send over a dozen teams to state and national tournaments. There is room for all who wish to go.
