The 2010 season triggered at the Double Tree Hotel with more than 30 team managers present. Each manager was introduced to allow each to meet the new
guys. The first games will be the weekend of March 13. All teams are to complete a team roster, player waivers, and photo ID's for all rookies. These
documents are due on or before February 25. All players are asked to "pursue these details with vigor" to ensure all team details are completed in a
timely manner.
The Tryouts will be held at the University of Incarnate Word on Saturday, February 13 (weather permitting). The 55+ group will be first at 9:00 AM
followed by the 45+ group at 10:00 AM and the 35+ group at 11:00 AM. The 18+ group will commence at 1:00 PM. Each team manager that wishes to participate
in the draft needs be present 30 minutes prior to their respective group's time frame. The drafting order will be handed out to each participating manager.
The fields for 2010 will include VJK, UIW, Wolff, FRG, Blanco, BMc, TRN, WAG, WEI, and a new site to be announced. Games on weekdays will start at 7:00 PM
and weekends will be 10, 2, & 6 where lights are available.
The rainout number will be 210-302-8228. All players are asked to call it and just listen if weather is an issue on game day. The announcement will
provide instruction as to how to proceed; updated hourly as required.
There will be a workday at BMc at 4:00 PM on Sunday, January 17. Several small projects will be accomplished by those who participate in the event. The
SAMSBL has offered its membership for work days at UIW, VJK, Wolff Stadium, or any where our presence will benefit the field.
The Regional and National Tournaments for 2010 include maybe a Memorial Day weekend tournament in SA, either July 4th in Dallas or SA, Labor Day in SA,
and the World Series (Oct 18 - Nov 6) in Phoenix, AZ. For the first time in our history the SAMSBL will enter the Father/Son tournament and a 65+ team.
The SAMSBL will not play any games during Easter Weekend (April 2-4), nor on Sunday, May 9, Mother's Day. We will play baseball on June 20, FATHER'S DAY.
Make your plans accordingly.
An effort is underway to secure a trip to the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, NY to play a baseball game at Doubleday Field. Keep up with
this web page as details unfold during the season.
All SAMSBL members are asked to continue their superb efforts of keeping our solid Image and Reputation impeccable. These two icons of our League have
served us well over the years and opened many doors. I hope each of you have heard some the great things people have said about us of the years. For
those who have not heard, just know that we are the only adult amateur league that gets to play on superb fields with quality competition which is
organized. Never forget that others out there do not get to share what we have due to their own bad choices. They have earned what they do not have.
And, they can keep what they have. And we will keep what we have.
