“I say, ‘I can play senior softball,’ and he says, ‘Well, how old are you?’ And I said, ’65,’ he says,’ You’re too young!’”
The crack of the bat and the sound of sportsmanship echo through the Municipal parks every Tuesday and Thursday during the summer months. The softball fields come alive with spirited individuals playing out their glory days.
Midura said. “The funny thing about senior softball is we’re kind of like little leaguers,” Midura said. “We’re going to drop a ball; we’re going to throw it wide, we’re going to strike out . The interesting thing is little leaguers are going to get better. We’re probably not going to get much better, but we do have a great time.”
75-year-old Dick Smith drives to Hilliard from Chillicothe every Tuesday and Thursday to man the infield at shortstop. He grew up playing recreational baseball and softball, and his love for the game has yet to fizzle out.
