Teams
AWA Enterprises
Home: Sunnyvale, California. Since: 1975. Excellent team site.

Web Site Qoute:
"The AWA Enterprises softball team is now into the 1998 campaign, the team's 24th year of existence, with pretty much the same old cast of characters -- another year older, a little bit slower, and a lot more out of shape. As usual, none of the returning veterans are in danger of being cut. But then no one ever gets cut. Or retires. They just go on the disabled list."

"We enjoy winning, but it is considerably more important to survive for the next game and enjoy a few post-game beers with a group of guys who play hard and play to win, but who can also laugh about the things that go wrong. It's tricky to be competitive and have fun, but over the years we've managed both since a bunch of rag-tag kids took the San Jose softball scene by storm in 1975. Now if we could just get somebody to retire......"

Beat, The
Home: San Francisco, California. Since: 1987.

Web Site Qoute:
"The BEAT started in 1987 as a group of close friends looking for something to do since football season was over. As fielding a full squad softball team can be a little more difficult than sandlot football or volleyball, the founders started recruiting friends and thinking about a name and logo. Being a musical crew, we named the team after an Elvis Costello song with the idea of a true team working together as the instruments of a band work together on each single beat of music."

"Over the years, The BEAT roster has seen numerous player changes, but has always kept true to it's history. Unlike many league teams playing for local companies or bars, The BEAT has and always will be a group of friends that spend as much, if not more, time together off the field than on. This comraderie has seen the team through good times and bad."

Creative Impressions
Home: Detroit, Michigan. Since: 1982. A USSSA "C" league team.

Web Site Qoute:
"The Creative Impressions Softball Team is a casual, recreational slo-pitch team. We've been playing together since 1982 (well, most of use have). Our new for this season sponsor is Creative Impressions, Inc. of Royal Oak, Michigan. We play one night per week, roughly 30 games per year. We play softball for fun, excersize, competition, and love of the game."

"This website exists solely for the amusement of our players, alumni, fans, and friends, and for the exchange of ideas with similar teams worldwide. Occassionally, visitors to this site have misinterpreted our website's existence to be some sort of proclamation of greatness. You will find no claims of greatness here. Heck, we don't even claim to be good for that matter."

Duck Kee
Home: Hayward, California. Since: 1987.

Web Site Qoute:
Duck Kee is an ethnically diverse: Asian (9.5)/White (3)/Spanish (1.5) men’s slowpitch softball team in Hayward, CA that was created over 11 years ago when Alex Lee, son of the owner of Duck Kee Market , pulled together his buddies to play for fun in the Oakland Softball League.

Numb
Home: Davis, California. Since: ?

Web Site Qoute:
"A group of gimps, drunkards, perverts, and reprobates that have gotten together weekly to play softball in Davis, California since the dawn of man (or so it seems). We have many claims to fame... We have more knee braces than any other softball team in Northern California!! We can amazingly score more than 30 runs in one game, and 3 in the next!! We can look like the Yankees in the field, or we can look like the Davis Elementary School "B" team in the field....without warning!! We can leap tall curbs in a single bound!!"

Jersey City Mustangs
Home: Jersey City, New Jersey (?). Since: ?

Web Site Qoute:
"Whenever we lose a close game because of avoidable errors, it hurts. I suppose that this is true of all teams, but the close ones stay in your mind (at least the OTHER guys errors stay in your mind) and provide food for talk all winter long."
