"If You Do What You Believe You Can Do And Not 
What Others Believe You Can't, You've Won Half The Battle" 
Let's Play Ball or Forever Regret We Never Did. 
 
 
..........I'm Presently Seeking To Form A Unique Softball Team Made Up Of Physically (Challenged) Handicapped Sports Active Persons Who Are Missing Either A Hand, Arm, Leg, Foot, Finger(s) Or A Combination Of These. Do You Have The Ability, Willingness Or Drive To Overcome Your Disability? Can You Make The Best Out Of What You're Physically Missing? Come Join Me For The Biggest Challenge Of Your Lifetime. I've Really Enjoyed Myself For Several Years Playing This Game Against Non-Handicapped Players And Now I'm Looking For Others Who Would Like To Experience The Same.  The Ballpark Is My Escape To Pure Enjoyment So, "Lets Play Ball Or Forever Regret We Never Did". You Must Have The Ability And/Or Potential To Play Softball And Be Very Serious About It. Lots Of Confidence And Persistency To Succeed Needed. Only Good/Positive Attitude Players Need To Respond As We'll Compete Against Others Who Are Physically Blessed. Lots Of Memorable Moments And Trophies Are Mine To Keep And I Plan On Going For More Until It Becomes Physically Impossible For Me To Continue Playing This Game That Has Given Me "The Ultimate High And Physical Enjoyment Of My Life".

..........Briefly About Myself, They Call Me Jaybird And I Was Born Missing My Right Leg Below The Knee & Several Fingers On My Hands. I Wear A Prosthesis (Jokingly Referred To As A "Bionic Leg" By Some Ballplayers) And Despite My Life Long Double-Handicap Situation, I Am Able To Run And Catch/Throw With My Left Hand While I Play The Game Of Softball. I've Played In The Following Leagues: (1) Commercial (2) Forty-Plus (3) Church (4) Co-Ed. I've Played An Average Of Up To 6 Nights A Week For The Last Six(6) Years In The Following Positions: First Base, Pitcher, Catcher & Some Third Base. In This Period, I Also Had My Own Team "The Jaybirds"  And Won 12 Team Trophies, My Thanks To All My Former Players.
