Masters Games

CLANBOB wrote: [QUOTE=Tim P] Tim, If like the WMC 50-54 class of 2010 there are 2 flights of throwers, they divided the throwers by ability assigning them to an "A' class and "B" class flights. Again, not much value to have an unbalanced mix from a spectors or athletes perspective.

Nice job Bob it's not easy to beat the one and only Kevin youngberg...

I AD a small Games/Festival here in the SF Bay Area (at least for now) and don't take a dime for it.  I might actually get a few hundred dollars for gear, next year, if we can't contract it out to the SHA.  Maybe. Seeing as the TOTAL budget for the entire festival in 2011, when we started planning in January, was $1400 I think we done good.  We did great this year. WOW!  Attendance was way up!  We're starting out with $4,300 for  the entire event for 2012. 

A third of my field is Masters. Another third is <200 pound guys. We get 3-4 women out and I throw all the   200+ pound A's, B's and C's in an "Open Mens" class.  This year I think I had 26 throwers....last year was 24.

Rob - you gotta get in an RV and drive to Cumberland Gap to take on Myles.
You gotta get on an airplane and fly to Loon to challenge the Stewart and Petur .
You gotta get on a plane and fly to PTown to let the 50+ Cal boys know who's boss and enjoy Kel's hospitality.
You gotta drive to Springfield and meet Mark and Brent and Berle.
You gotta go to New Hampshire and look Dirk in the eye.
You gotta drive across the Everglades at 4 in the am to make it to Dunedin and Youngberg and break every field record.
You gotta go to Loon and follow Ryan all day.
Go to Ohhh Canada and find Harvey.
Watch the Rhino clear 21'.
You gotta work 6 f*ckin' months to break a Stewart WR by 3/4 of an inch.

Come to San Antonio next April and fight Crusty the Pirate and Mr. Clean Doctor and some old guy and wee Mikey too.

The best part of being a Master is to seek out and find these rare men and have lusty combat and silly times with them.

I know people have called me a record whore , but my fondest wish is that 20 years from now someone looks at the Master's field records somewhere and says

" Who the Hell was Mike Baab ?!"

and someone says ....."He's still throwin' down in Texas"

Because this is just ego and challenge and fun.

Oh, and the 56 sucks

42's Flyyyyyyyy

May you all have enough gristle to make it to Masters still tossin'.

Mike, I really liked all of what you said. I always wanted to be on the same field with you and myles, great athletes and people.

I remember the first time I was able to throw with myles it was a "great feeling" and honor. Myles beat me and I loved it...

Personally, high on my Masters Wish List is to get to the SE and throw with Messrs Baty and Gray.....and hand 'em a butt whuppin'
    before we go out and destroy the local buffet and bore everyone within earshot with stories about how studly we are.

KiltBill wrote: Rob, we are looking at having a Ringold / Ocala rematch. We will allow one 40-45 year old on each team. J. Baty wants Braidy and Ocala wants you. Gives you 3 months to perfect your game. You up for it.

Bill, that is a big honor. I would love to do that but, Braidy and Brent Miller were planning on coming to Ocala for a all out war with myself and Kevin "The Moose" Dupuis throwing in the A- Class, we can switch to the masters if you would like?

Big Ed is turning San Antonio into a premier event.
