Hi Everyone,

Well with the 2022 Season fast coming to an end, I wanted to share Links to all of the Pictures Folders that I have created of our Entire CSMS 55+ League.
I know many of you do not have Facebook accounts so you haven’t been seeing the many posts and pictures that we have been sharing this season, so this may well be the first time you will
get to see pictures of yourself and your Friends and Teammates from this Years Season.

I have created a Link for each team as well as Fans, Umpires and Misc Links.
All you need to do is click on the Link below your team name or any of the Links that are provided and it will open up a Google Photo Folder where you will be able to see the pictures from your Teams Pictures or any other Team or Group you would like to view.
And if you have spared for other Teams this season, your picture will also be in that Teams Folder for you to view.
I will still be out there taking pictures for the remaining games and I will add them to your Teams Folders and you will be able to view them with the same Link I have provided here.
You can save or print the Pictures that you like.
I have backed up all these photos as well so even though the Links will expire in Approx 6 months, the Photos will be saved.
And because the Links will expire, be sure to download them or print them before the end of February 2023.

On average, there are about 312 Pictures in each Teams Folder.

Please let me know if you have any questions or issues.

Enjoy Everyone,

Hi Everyone,

A large group of guys in our CSMS 55+ League play in a Hockey League in Calgary from October until April.
(I’m not ready to think Hockey Yet, but planning ahead is always a good thing)

They are searching for Goalie’s for the upcoming year.
If you are a goalie or know of a goalie please contact me and I will forward your message on to Don McKillop and Dave Curtis. Or I can send you their contact info.
And FYI,
Goalie’s play for free and they don’t have to be 55, they can be younger.

Thanks Everyone,

Paul M
(Ex Goalie)

and Here is a quote that seems to fits with this message,
“A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.”
- Wayne Gretzky

Hey guys,

Paul McNeil has been doing something really special this year. As Communications Director, he is coming out to games almost every day and night and taking, literally, thousands of photos. Photos of YOU in action with your Ken Griffey-like swing, or gobbling up that ground ball like Roberto Alomar. He has been posting all this to the league Facebook site.

It’s pure joy for that little egomaniac that is in all of us to open up Facebook the morning after the games to see if the ‘League Photographer’ happened to catch a good shot of us, or our team, in action the night before.

And not only does Paul post wonderful photos, but he sprinkles in tons of great baseball cartoons, pithy sayings and of course ‘Yogi-isms.’

The CSMS League Facebook page show that 170 of our 300-or-so membership have joined the page and are enjoying Paul’s work. I just wanted to let the rest of you know YOU ARE REALLY MISSING SOMETHING SPECIAL! You may want to consider joining Facebook and our page to keep abreast of what’s going on – especially with playoffs just around the corner.

I doubt there’s a slopitch league in the world that gets this kind of coverage!

Cheers,

Gary Paukert
President, CSMS League

Hi Everyone,

There is an important message from our awesome grounds crew about items that are left or forgotton at the Fields.

“We have had on occasion, come across items left behind at the Diamonds, Gloves, bats, hats, glasses etc etc and these items are then placed in the equipment box at that particular diamond, such as the pair of Glasses that were left behind last night at Triwood. If you have misplaced , lost or have just forgot an item, please check with your coach or manager to access that Box to locate, said item.
Thank You,
Ground Crew”

If someone finds an item after a game or whenever, please place that item into the Equipment Box at that Diamond or ask your coach or manager to open the box and leave the item there. Your coach and manager can then reach out to let us know that the item has been found and then a League wide message can be sent.

Unfortunately, not all items are recovered but let’s all try and keep an eye out so nothing gets permanently lost.

(And FYI, for those rare occasions, when wads of cash are found, just pass them along to me and I will make sure it is never spoken of again)

Cheers
Paul M

Funny Quote that seems to fit the occasion,

“Of all the things I have Lost, I miss my mind the Most”
- Ozzy Osbourne

Hi Everyone

On my last message to the League, I indicated that the Storage Box was left open after Thursday nights games between the Mets and the Rangers.
That Information was incorrectly stated by me in my message.
The Box was left unlocked after Wednesday nights games at Triwood. The information had been passed along to me and I was asked to send out the message but I assumed it was after Thursday’s games, but the message was already one day old.

My Apologies to the Mets and the Rangers for singling them out because of this error on my Part.

So without pointing the finger at anyone else here, Let’s all be diligent in making sure the Boxes get locked up after all the Games are completed at all the Fields.

Thanks Everyone
Paul M
