Can we have a gomeangreen.com softball game?

Would anybody be up for that?

Yes. And I would make an effort to see of Mean Green softball would want to be involved.

Not sure what you have in mind, but perhaps we can make this a fundraiser for their program or a cause they support, i.e. Wounded Warriors or Leukemia/Lymphoma Society?

(perhaps we need to move this thread, or start a new one on the FB board to get some traction, but I am really grateful to RAGEMASTER5000 for a great idea)

I reached out to Coach Hubbard to see if he would like to be involved. This is what I got:

We can play the game at Lovelace! He may be able to get some alumni to play, and possibly some of the coaches. I asked him if we could play the game to benefit Mean Green Softball, and he would appreciate the help adding a few things around the stadium to make it better for recruiting. Coach Hubbard may be able to help us get some items for a silent auction, i.e. signed batting helmets, game jerseys, etc.

Just thinking out loud, but it would be fun to see how us guys could hit fast-pitch softball collegiate level pitching....maybe, before or after the game, we could raise some money by selling AB's against an alumnus pitcher for $0.50/pitch, or some such.

I will try to reach out to Mark Miller to see if he would mind organizing the game...we need a date, t-shirt design, captains, umpires, etc, but we got the field!

If it's a slow-pitch game I can work the plate. I did that for about 5 years up at North Lakes when I was still living in Denton before switching to football.
