Site Updated :: August 25, 2025 |
SAMSBL is a league of adult amateurs who play baseball (real hardball) in age divisions of Open, 30 &
over, 40 & over, 50 & over, and 60 & over. The SAMSBL is a member of the national organization known as the Men's Senior Baseball
League/Men's Adult Baseball League (MSBL/MABL).
The league is for men who love the game of baseball. SAMSBL is in its third decade of existence. We have tryouts once a year in February. We all pay to play from
mid-March until August for league games (about 21 games) on weekends.
Tournaments are extra and usually occur over the major holidays
throughout the summer. The grand finale is the National
World Series in Phoenix, AZ during October.

Another Update: Gary Whitney supersedes JJ Bailey now, as the oldest player to hit an In-the-Park home run at 66 Years and 5 months!
Another update: Today Scott Hickman at 62 years & 5 months, of the Padres, became the oldest player to hit an in the park grand slam home run. His 4 RBIs gave the Padres their first victory this season
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. August 17, 2025
Nelson has written a new book about baseball.
He has been invited to our games next weekend as a guest player and a book signer.
His subject is about the History of Baseball from antiquity of Greece to New York to San Antonio up to today!

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. August 25, 2025
The 2025 season has concluded. Some Sunday slots will be available at CC in September at 10 30 am for those players going to the World Series.
Just to keep "in the groove" fir tournament play.
The season was successful in that every team won a game or two and each lost a game or two. And several Games came down to the last pitch to see who would win. Exciting!!
Congrats to the Stars for climbing from the cellar to the top with a 10 in-a-row win climb!
