They might not hit the ball the hardest or circle the basepaths the fastest, but they still like playing ball.
The Nanaimo Adult Recreational Slo-pitch League is once again planning registration for the coming season.
The league is for women 45 years old and up, or men 50 and over, and is non-competitive. Nobody keeps stats, and they sometimes don’t even keep score.
“A lot of people ask, ‘Well, did you win?’ I say, ‘I don’t know,’” said Mike Moore, the league’s past-president. “It’s all friendly.”
Everyone gets to play and gets to take at-bats. If a player has trouble running to first base or beyond, a teammate can handle the baserunning.
Games go at the McGirr Sports Fields in north Nanaimo every Tuesday and Thursday at 10 a.m., but players can register to play just once a week if they prefer.
Registration starts Tuesday (April 19) at 9:15 a.m. and will be followed by a pickup game.
The league runs until the end of September.
