They just love the game. They are a team of former college and minor league baseball players who compete in an Ann Arbor adult fast pitch, hardball league where they won the end of the season tournament last month. We're beyond that. We just like to play. This isn't slow pitch softball.
Pitchers throw fastballs just short of major league speeds.
Riling's team has players from 19 to 35. He is 32, a Belleville High School and Eastern Michigan University graduate. The team is now an A. Green Financial team, like the Connie Mack team that made it to the regional playoffs in Battle Creek this year. Most of them have sports injuries. They play for no money.
