Baseball Batting Cage

Lehigh Valley Men's Senior Baseball League all-star games highlight inclusive ...

Nothing traveling several dozen miles per hour ever seemed to move more slowly. We were each 18 at the time in 2001 and this was the final game of our final baseball season. Unless you’re good enough to play in the pros or the semi-pros or college, we thought, there just isn’t baseball after 18. And we weren’t that good.

“In!” he called. Ugh. It was bad advice. Mike took it and charged a few steps. He tried to stop and retreat but instead slipped and fell down. The ball was over Mike’s head, rolling to the wall, never to be recovered as the other team’s winning runs scored.

That was it. Ballgame over. Baseball careers over. From now on it would be fantasy teams and TV baseball and beer-league softball and egg noodles and ketchup.

The baseball was behind us and there was nothing we could do about it.

But I was wrong. Nothing is over in baseball until you give up or die, and even then the game goes on. Baseball behind us? Ugh. It was bad advice.

The Lehigh Valley Men’s Senior Baseball League, which celebrates its all-star games Saturday at Coca-Cola Park, was formed in 1988. It’s got talented guys, including some former college players, even some former pros.

But more than that it’s got plenty of guys like me: as short on talent as they are filled with love for baseball. Thing is, not so many people know about the Lehigh Valley Men’s Senior Baseball League. And even when people hear about it, they ask you if you’re sure you’re not really playing softball.

Since then, the league has grown from 17 teams and 255 players to 42 teams and 682 players, and 2011 was a benchmark because so many men came to tryouts that Cahill couldn’t fit them all onto existing teams.

He made the leftover strangers, including me, into a new team, a first-time experiment for a league that’s most markedly different from our area’s Blue Mountain and Tri-County leagues — where the best amateurs play — in that it tries to include everyone.

Inclusiveness is all that even got me into the league. I hadn’t played baseball in the 10 years since that ball flew over Mike’s head and I wasn’t very good then. But I swallowed hard, went to tryouts, hoped I wouldn’t embarrass myself — then mustered nothing more than a few foul tips in the batting cage.
