Faulkner Park on Broadway

March 13th, 2011

Faulkner Park Tyler TX Spring Softball
During the spring there comes adult softball season in Tyler TX which is played over at Lindsey Field.

Teams need a place to practice on the weekends and Lindsey Field is usually taken so then what do you do?

Faulkner Park is a good baseball park with smaller fields and in the Spring is also heavily used on the weekends. There are, however, some practice fields down below and over near the tennis courts.

We setup this Sunday at the Faulkner Park baseball practice fields. I worked on my batting, fielding, and under hand pitching as well as the rest of my team.

No one reserves these fields for practice as you find at Lindsey Park and so they are almost always available.

You will also find two very nice playgrounds for your kids. There is the splash park which has some pretty cool water spray action going on. It’s basically a toddler water park without a pool and risk of drowning. A traditional park is right next to it.

The other playground is in the middle of the park and has massive slides, a bridge, as well as tons of other stuff.

So if you are a baseball team or softball team looking for that long lost field no one uses for practice you just might find it at Faulkner at the bottom of a hill by the tennis courts. If your wife is not playing on your team she and your kids will have a blast at the park while you perfect your swing.

Texas Rangers not allowed to put midget on their team

January 23rd, 2011

Texas Rangers are not allowed to draft or recruit midgets to play on their baseball team.

Due to a rule established in 1951 when the St. Louis Browns were able to obtain an easy walk by placing a midget at the plate to bat this trick is no longer an option.

So power sluggers like Josh Hamilton, Michael Young, and Kinsler will have to make things happen at the plate in more conventional ways and forget about using midgets to gain extra runs.

What do you think? Is this a bad discriminatory baseball rule? Is this rule similar to women not being allowed in some states to be firefighters because of weak upper body strength?

When are discrimentory laws and rules crossing the line into the realm of lunacy politically correct liberal land? Even many midgets and women can understand why rules and laws like these exist but PR propaganda has a strangle hold on about half the population in America.
