Question for DW and TM60...

Posted by Denny on December 11, 2020, 11:32 am

With Dan Smith leaving, it's a "changing of the guard" in major softball sponsorship. Believe he was one of the last "big" sponsors left in the game that can be traced back to the 90's? Also, one of the things that upper softball seems to be lacking is the guys like Rusty, Jeff Wallace, Jeff Hall, ect... Has anyone filled their shoes?

Yes, we have new sponsors and new stars and a huge crop of young players that are about to burst on the scene (most already have).

The Sponsor that most likely left with Dan holds the record for sponsoring major teams since the late 1970s early 80s. Although I don’t think they were called major teams back then...

His name is Eddie Menosse ...From the logo I saw of this team Menosse deservedly got top billing..

His name was at the top of the logoI. I would say even if it was not intentional? Eddie earned it for his longevity alone.

My view on Rusty and Wallace is they were kinda like Harvey now... but... those two were kinda replacements for the Meade and Mighty Mike types...Mike or some other longer in the tooth guy like KEGS;-) then I, would have to name who those two older guys were replacements for...

As for Halls ... His “antics” are very hard to duplicate, “cuz” most knuckleheads like him don’t have his athletic talent.

I would say Hall replaced Dave Stephen and took it to a new level..and NO... I don’t use knucklehead in a negative connotation...

I am a proud member of the knuckleheads...Its just some of us off center guys accept it and take pride in being Jesters while competing and accept our quirkiness while others fight it...or don’t have it at all....

I can’t tell you who I think is Hall’s knucklehead replacement but I will say... if one knucklehead sees another competing on a softball field... it’s obvious...but again Jeff’s talent on the field was super special and getting a knucklehead that matches that talent?????

the best thing about Hallsy is
