Looking for a softball team...
Have played 12" and 16" in the suburbs forever but tired of the commute. Strong bat, good hands, mostly an infielder. Would like to play weekday evenings but flexible, know the game and reliable. Mens or Coed, any level.

Looking for a Team
Just moved to Chicago and desperate to find a team to play on. Been playing my whole life, play mostly third base but could play anywhere in the infield. Solid hitter that can still hit the long ball occassionally. Looking to play on a men's team preferably but could do co-ed, also. I love to have a good time on and off the field yet still competitive, too. Let me know if there are any teams out there looking for players. Thanks!

Looking for Softball Team
Solid hitter who boasts .750+ lifetime average. Defensively, well, I've lost a step or two but will suffice. I make an excellent catcher, or first baseman. Looking for recreational 12" or 16". Email me if interested at sellisd77@gmail.com. Oh, and I'm pretty social and open to times outside of Tuesday nights.

Let me know if you still looking for a pitcher. I played for 5 years in Bloomington but then moved up here last year and have been wanting to get back into it quick. We usually were in the top 2 so I'm competitive, but not sure what it is like up here compared to there. I pitched for all my leagues and can play any other position as well. All I n eed to know is what day and where are you guys playing.
