Initial Interest Thread; Milwaukee vs Madison; Possibly a Charity Event

[lcbj68c]

Mods, Please pin this to keep at the top please.

 

There seems to be some interest in playing a game pitting Madison vs Milwaukee. I am also in the process of trying to develop a charity game or tournament to be held possibly at Miller Park, perhaps the Main Stadium or maybe Helfaer Field with a flight-restrictive ball. The game would look to be near August/September. If you are interested in playing, coaching, or helping out with any aspects of this event, please post here or pm me regarding how you can help out. I am just in the beginning stages, so I dont have a lot of details other than I am trying to line things up to get it done. I am looking for input or any assistance, such as tailgate grills and things of that nature. A home run derby type event and other ideas are welcome ideas. We'd probably have a block of 4 hours, if I can get it done at Miller Park. The only thing I ask is please don't make this thread "Insert team here" is gonna whip that "insert team here" "insert body part" here, back and forth banter. Thanks ~Luke

Just let me know what you need, and I'll see what I can do.

I'm in to play, coach, and possibly do some errand-running or something of the like.

Regardless if this is for Charity or not, we are going to still beat them like they stole something. They are playing in the minor leagues in Madison. Welcome to the show Madison, and you guys are gonna get smoked.

[bball123h2]

Have we picked a charity? Given the recent events, some kind of flood donation may be a good idea.

[lcbj68c]

I've been in contacts with a few, but I like the idea. United Way I assume works w/ flood victims. If anybody else knows, please advise

I vote for late August before school gets rolling again.

 

Home Run Derby is all mine.

Like practice last Friday?

 

P.S. you know I'm just busting your groin. We had a good time working exlusively on hitting the other way, missed ya.

Apparently you haven't seen one of my 90 foot bombs.

[razzzorsharp]

I'd do whatever.

[iHARTbrewCREW]

Sounds like fun. Could the home run derby just be who can hit it outa the infield, cause they i may have a chance at getting one.

[Houlie24x]

I can help with whatever. August would be better for me.

[Crazyk1294]

I'm always up for more softball. Madison sucks.

[valpocrewsader]

Sounds like a great idea. Schedule permitting, I'd love to be involved.

[brewerjamie15]

Count me in as well. I do however, ask that I get a copy of emails in regards to what is going on. I very much appreciate the initiative but I also need to be involved when the site is being represented.

[lcbj68c]

I've narrowed this down to a couple of options for the Madison guys and am waiting a response from their leader by his PM. Real quick, I need your guys input on what would be a go or no-go for each of you personally?

 

Sunday Aug 17th - Softball 11am-1pm Private Tour 1:30pm-3pm Dinner/Brewers Game @ Dodgers 3:10 First Pitch, however only 9 days away!

Saturday or Sunday August 30th or 31st. Same type of set-up however this is Labor Day Weekend.

Monday Sept 1st- Our best chance to get a Brewer Game in, but this is Labor Day! 1:05 Brewers game vs Mets then 5:30 softball game.

Friday August 22nd or Sept. 5th - Friday Night Brewers Games. Softball at 4:30pm and Brewers games at 7:05pm...however people have work.

 

Brainstorm your feelings so that NeedMoreFans and I can get this done. Your travel and work considerations are my biggest concerns.

[nullbyte]

First preference: 8/17, 8/30, 8/31, or 9/1 dates.

Second preference: 8/22

Last: 9/5

[Houlie24x]

I can make any of those dates. However, if it was on 8/17, I would have to leave right after the softball game.

[razzzorsharp]

I could make the 17th only.

[Brewer Fever]

I don't know if I'm allowed to play in this thing, but I'd love to participate if possible. The 17th works great for me as well. It would be a good warmup for the fall league.

[valpocrewsader]

I thought you moved out of state, Brewer Fever? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Yep that was me. I went off to California for the military but was sent home with a chronic knee issue that kept flaring up. They made me take a medical discharge and I've been home ever since. It's the kind of thing that rarely bothers me in everyday life. But military rigors made it flare up too often for their tastes. I've played softball all summer and haven't had a single issue.

[brewerjamie15]

I don't really have a date preference at this point since I'll mostly be at the mercy of an odd work schedule anyway. Hopefully, which ever date you guys choose will work out for me.

[Crazyk1294]

Luke-

 

In case you didn't already count me in, I'm in like Miles Davis!
