The
Kappa Sigma Fraternity at USC won the
inter-fraternity sports trophy several times and one of the sports we really
excelled at was softball (not that we didn't excel in football, basketball,
tennis, bowling, handball, etc). I played third and outfield on occasions.
After college, we organized a fast pitch softball team but that was a disaster
for me, caught a line drive on tip of my righthand ring finger, broke it good,
ouch; no more fastpitch. After moving to Manhattan Beach, Dan Dominy invited
me to play on the Grey Advertising team which was good competition and later on
Dan organized a couple of his own teams, Steve's at the Beach being the best
one; my nephew Matt Metzler was our batboy and Toni kept score. On those teams I usually played rover or outfield but my hitting was the best. I could usually take an outside pitch down the right field line for singles or doubles at a .667 clip. We even played in a couple of Over The Line Tournaments. I Played a few times on the Marvin Garden's team in Aspen and attended the reunion game in 2004. After moving to Fair Oaks, I played on some co-ed teams and eventually quit do to "body worn out syndrome". Still haven't made it to San Diego for the Ultimate Over the Line Tournament.
