The over 75 Venom Team (#2 in State) won the over 70 SENIOR SOFTBALL FLORIDA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP for the 3rd time in 3 years beating the #1 seed Stingers, 17-1...
the Venom made history last season when they dropped down from the over 75 years old bracket to win the over 70 age division...this year was truly remarkable, getting a year older and playing against new 70 year old teams and winning again...with sad regret, I have decided that the extra 49 games we play in the Florida Half Century each year is too much, so I have taken a leave of absence from playing for the Venom in the FHC next year...I wish them continued success....

The 2023 softball season(11/01/22 to 9/30/23) is over and it was a great success for the over 75 major-plus VENOM TEAM.

It started with the(11/06/22) ISSA Triple CROWN in Sanford and finished with the (9/22/23) SSUSA TRIPLE CROWN in Las Vegas. In total, the VENOM won 7 SSUSA Tournaments & 6 ISSA Tournaments, plus the 2022 over 70 Florida Half Century Championship and two monthly tournaments.

Solid defense, timely hitting and team chemistry has carried this team to all of the achievements it has accomplished.

We are looking forward to some rest and then in November we will start a new year...

Hope you have a Warm Birthday Celebration with your friends and family...on another note, yes, it is quite the area of destruction in Ft. Myers...but, the land that your condo sits on is very valuable...I looked at a lot on the inland side of the beach and for a 60 by 100 slab only was $650,000.00. It will take a long time to rebuild that area due to new regulations...
