My $0.02 - AGM

Strap — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:26:43 GMT

After the AGM on Sunday, I was thinking how smoothly it ran from previous years. I would like to thank the outgoing executive for their work this past year as well as welcome in the new exec.

I'd just like to make sure that although the league has a long history and tradition behind it, I think its important to keep moving forward. Many of the issues raised at the AGM simply ended in "the executive will look into it" Although I understand why every issue isn't debated untill we are blue in the face at the AGM, I think some transparency into the executives descision making is a good idea.

I think the exectutive should post on the website, web polls for various issues (wood bats, league helmets, age limits, etc) and let the league vote just to give the executive some direction about what people want in an accountable, organzied fashion.

On a side note, thank you to Chris and Ryan for accomodating some of the Jewish holidays in the playoffs. I appreciate how you handled a tough situation and look forward to kicking both your asses in the playoffs if given the chance :-)

Looking forward to kicking ass and taking names in the playoffs,

NFL Survivor Pool

dalton — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:22:41 GMT

Anyone interested in joining an NFL survivor pool let me know.

Pick one winner every week straight up, no spread. Can only pick a team once. Results and picks on line. $100 entry fee. Last year there was approx. 100 entries, but there will be more this year. Winner take all, unless there are multiple people still alive by the end of the regular season in which case they would split the money accordingly.

Contact me via email at adalton9@yahoo.com or call me. Money has to be in by Sept. 7th.

Jews & Playoffs

Strap — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 17:59:53 GMT

The Jewish holidays in September are the night of the 8th, Day of 9th and 10th. Then again Friday the 17th.

As of now 3 Playoff games have a conflict. I spoke to Ryan. He said if enough people voice concern, he'll change it.

Hopefully we can honour the tradition of Jews in the playoffs :-) and redo the schedule.

Just on a quick count, didn't check penises or anything, 20 out of 90 players are Jewish. You can call us Thornhill soon!

Good luck to all,

Strap

RHMRBL in the Community

Moncayo — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:01:40 GMT

For those who don't know, the RHMRBL donated funds to the York Central Hospital some time ago in an effort to give back to the community. Recently the Hospital has put up a plaque recognizing our contribution. I wanted to put these pictures up somewhere until I was able to create a more permanent place on our website.

Here they are:

Thanks again to everyone for contributing and making this happen. I hope that we can do more for the Hospital as well as other organizations in the future!

See you on the diamond!

Cheers,

The Pelzanater will be back!

Richie P — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 16:39:53 GMT

To all my missed RHMRBL’ers,

I trust all is well with everyone in this new season finally getting under way. The teams look pretty balanced and once again should make for some exciting ball!

Oh yes I wish I was there but for this year I will have to pass. I will not say it is retirement as of yet but will say I need a well deserved break. I also just had my shoulder fixed via surgery and let’s just say, it will be better than ever when it finally heals or a bucket of bolts not worthy of our mighty RHMRBL. At least I have my one and only championship trophy to look at, thanks Astro’s, you will be missed!

As for me now, if you haven’t heard yet, I have left the food industry completely and have joined a new organization in the tax strategy profitable giving. In very short, I can make any Canadian tax payer receive up to 191% return on their personal income tax (and it’s legal)! Interested, then give me a call, 647-827-0759 or email rpelzer@profitablegiving.ca and I’ll get you what you need to know ASAP!

Hopefully I will see all of you on the ball diamond sooner rather than later. Cheers to the 2010 season!

Richie P. (68)

P.S. – Have you seen our historical sveltie McSvenner Cam lately??? I told him if he lost 50 lbs this year he could wear my number for next! Then ask yourself, will the 11 o clock show ever be the same??? Please lavish him with words of encouragement and whisper sweet nothings into his ear about his new show and how it will be bigger and brighter than ever!

2010 Schedule

Thanks,

Retirement

telfy — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 19:07:19 GMT

I'm one of those rookies that played on the same team with Reaper, and I agree with Moncayo & James that a big part of myself coming back was how much fun it was to be on the same team as Reaper. The parking lot will be a lot quieter with the lack of the Reapman, but I'm sure he won't be able to stay away all summer!!

Retirement

Reaper — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:13:24 GMT

Hello all. Just wanted to get on here and thank the league for everything it has done to make 20 years of ball the best ever. I joined as a kid and now leave as an old man. Life is cruel....LOL.

I remember hanging around this league before I was even old enough to join. It was a social event to come to the park, sit in the bleachers, razz everyone, laughing all the time...life was easy.....good times.

For many years, this league was our source of entertainment. If you weren't playing then you were up there watching. Everyone would meet up there, have a few, then head to O'Tooles for more. Then on to Steer Inn. Can't believe they never sponsored. Diamond 1 parking lot was our own hangout. 6 teams all standing together telling B.S. stories.

The league has changed over the years and although sad, it was a change that we all knew would come. The addition of schools, houses, and changes to the parking lot made it clear that the best years, for me anyways, were behind. Alot of people have passed through this league and I have never heard an unkind word about it. Unless it was 3DB.

I do have a list of people that I wish I had of played with over the years. No offense to anyone, but it is for old vets only. Here it goes. The Buckster, Ricky Berridge, Andy Boruszok, The Kid, Daryl Goddard, Chick, Dan C, Davey T, and Lester. It is amazing to even me how Bob Barton and I also were never on the same squad. Saved me a criminal record. Just kidding Bob. It was in my contract.

I also have a list of my favourite guys who I got to play with alot. I'm going by memory so order means nothing. They are: Dicky, Waylen, Rob Scott, Richy P, Danny A, Jimmy A, Carlito, Action, Finbag, Cam Googles, Mookie, Desi Mon, Joe Green, Jordan Levy, Wardo, B.Waite, Billy Lyons, Marvelous, Postie, and the ultimate teammate.....Bammer.

Here are some other names that meant alot to me and this league. Tom Price, Tuffluck, Terry Robertson, Chris "Svenner" Kristensen, Doc, Kerny, Darby, Goldie, Treth, Dusty, Timmy Warren, B.D.(Dr. Longball), Quincy Trim, Steamer, Critter, Saulsbery Steak, Kevy Mac, Big Daddy, Rodge Rumble, GOOB, Rob Jones, Rob Cole, Andy Dalt, Gord "Dream" Weaver, Spike, Timmy "Eggs, Hollywood" Lawler, Palmjob, The Rocks, Matt B, Ninja, Gary" Wild Thing" Godwin, Carm, Frank"the Kak" Verbanak, and all the brothers of the Andersons, Garbes, Pardettis, Ciaravellas, Coopers, Vietchs, Kennys, Colatostis, Freedmans and the Hooks.

Anyways, the league is in good hands. It was a great place to grow up (if I did) and old (which I did). Lots of great friends and memories came from this league. Thanks for the ride. Cheers.

Toronto Gets Games !

Bob B — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:04:24 GMT

Just wondering ... Toronto gets the PanAM games, what happens at Richmond Green ? If ye all remember a large sum of cash was spent on the plan for the Olympic bid and it included a 20k seat stadium built atop Diamond 4. Of course that meant some destruction of other diamonds for parking etc. Has anyone heard of and or enquired if this concept is reborn ? Does Richmond Hill plan on getting in on the action of the games and putting the Green up as fodder ? Odds are would be my guess but if so we better keep a look-out for new facilities.

Anyone have any input who we might ask ?

New Rules ???

Bob B — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 15:36:01 GMT

I note with interest the adoption of the "new" rule for all baserunners. Wear a lid on the basepaths ! Well all in favour of safer play but who is the closest player without a lid - the pitcher hmmmmm !

I also note with regret that the DH/DF rule was not clarified leaving it once again open to interpretation and cheating as was done in last year's playoff !

Amen !

Quelle surprise !

Bob B — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:08:24 GMT

Past a 'kids' diamond yesterday at Bayview Glen park I think was the name, northwest corner of Bayview and Briggs/Bantry near Hwy 7. All dirt infield except it was apparently the mysterious "RED CLAY" often discussed. Does this mean the town is using the magic mud ? Does this mean there is another reason why Richmond Green doesn't have it ? Like maybe don't want to spend the money to install it right now ? Mmmmm !
