Joseph Chevy Sr. Softball Inaugeral Blog

Hi;
Many friends of Joseph Chevrolet team mates have asked to be informed of our senior softball exploits. The purpose of this blogspot is to create a journal of the team results of the 60+ year old, senior softball team sponsored by Joseph Chevrolet, Cincinnati, OH.
This team is comprised of the best senior softball players in Ohio and northern KY. The Joseph team competes at the national level in several senior softball associations. For example, in 2006 & 2007 the team competed in tournaments from VA to OH to IL to FL to AZ to Cal.
The team has won six national level "ring" tournaments since its inception in November, 2005. The Joseph Chevy team was initiated by Roy Hern and sponsor, Dave Neiheisel of Joseph Chevrolet. Roy lived in northern OH for (8) years where he participated in local play as well as traveling tournament play. However, Roy began his senior softball with a Cincinnati based Joseph Chevy 50+ year old team in 1993. Having lived in both northern and SW OH, Roy was able to identify the best players in both areas and recruit the current 60+ year old Joseph team.
Most recently, on Nov. 10th, the Joseph team won the Winter National Sr. Softball tournament for 60+ year olds, Major Division. (8) teams total competed in this division, including archrival Rochester Legends, past winners of several national tournaments. The Joseph team batted an unbelievable .643, averaging 21 runs per game for the entire tournament, while the Joseph air-tight defense and world class pitching allowed only 13.5 runs per game.
The Winter National tournament, Ft. Myers, FL, capped off an outstanding year where the Joseph team won three of the five tournaments in which they entered, plus a national championship playoff game in which they defeated Western National Champ, Bickerton CA.
In 2008, Joseph kicks off the season in February at the Tournament of Champions, a special invitational event where only past champions are invited to participate. Also, in January, our sponsor, Dave Neiheisel, GM @ Joseph Chevrolet will be inducted into the local senior softball Hall of Fame.
Thank you for your interest in Joseph Chevrolet Senior Softball. Updates to this blogspot will be made every two to three weeks, perhaps more often during the season from May through November.
