"We had a great game on May 17th where my Middleburg Red Sox beat the Nova Yankees, 12-2, as my starting pitcher, Alex Mondro, threw six outstanding innings, but he also went four for four hitting on a very hot 90-degree day.

Alex is on my 18+ Middleburg Red Sox in the DCMSBL, which I’ve had in the league for almost 35 years." Ted Eldredge, manager

Carlton researched the area and found the San Antonio MSBL.  He hit the gym, hit the batting cages, and was doing pretty well.  He then decided to go to the league tryouts, still hovering around 350 pounds.

“I would love to report a ‘happily ever after’ ending to this story, but I stunk up the place.  I didn’t hit a single ball and my fielding was horrible.  I went into a serious depression and decided to give up.  Nobody drafted me.  I was lost.”

“Wow,” exclaimed David.  “I couldn’t believe it when I got the news. I had always seen the announcements of new members being inducted into the MSBL Hall of Fame and thought it was such a great honor for those who had contributed so much to their leagues.

I never thought what I did would measure up to being held in the same regard as those guys."

“Back in 2010, a good friend from Little League recommended I play.  It had been a few years, so I went to batting cages, and also started attending indoor workouts. There weren’t many facilities at the time, like there are now with D Bats and Bat Flip, but I found a way.

I wish I would have found the league sooner.  It’s great to get out there with guys from all skill levels.  It’s fun.  You build fond memories and lasting friendships.” Rusty Nail
