Guest boatboatboat Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 After 220 games this season (which started in February) playing for Steele`s Sports from Grafton, Ohio, Macenko has an incredible 526 home runs and 977 runs batted in, the most in the history of softball, even though there still are 115 games left in the season. He averages a home run almost every other at-bat.Macenko plays for Steele`s Sports, the most chronicled collection of 12-inch slow-pitch softball sluggers ever assembled, a barnstorming group of bruisers who make the average team look as though it plays an entirely different game. And it does.Steele`s belongs to the elite Super Division, a dozen teams with the very best players who tour the country playing 150-300 games a year, playing softball on a level above everyone else.Steele`s has won every major softball title in recent years, including the Amateur Softball Association, the National Softball Association and the U.S. Slow Pitch Softball Association titles.This year, the aptly nicknamed Men of Steele are averaging 37 runs and 18 home runs per game, making a travesty of the game the average softball team plays. They are 212-8, a record that includes a 97-game winning streak. In a single game, Steele`s hit 63 home runs in a 108-5 victory over the Wichita Falls All-Stars.``The thing about it,`` Macenko said, ``is that home runs never get boring, no matter how many or how often you hit them. It`s like catching fish. It doesn`t matter how many you catch, every one is a real thrill. And anyway, a home run means you don`t have to run. You can trot around the bases.`` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanks Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 And that's why there are limits to homeruns per game now. Scoring 108 runs must have been a 4 hr game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy kgb Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 I've played in tourneys where only One person on your team can hit home runs and anyone else that hits it over the fence is Out......the person is decided by whoever hits the first home run on your team that game......We used to have this guy Billy on our team, pretty good player and really goofy, batted lead off , we would tell him Don't hit it out leave it for Randy our clean up hitter.....every once in a while the dumb fvck would still swing for the fence and get one out and we were stuck with him for the game.....
