The 2020 American Division Champion Rangers
Hard fought game
The Rangers over come an early deficit to beat the Mets 7-5 to win the American Division Championship. Led by Brad Hoben's pitching, timely hitting and excellent defense, the Rangers overcame a 4-1 Mets lead and chipped away to take a brief 5-4 lead in the 7th, only to see the Mets tie it in the bottom of the same inning. The Rangers then scored 2 more runs in the 8th with some aggressive base running to take the lead for good. The Mets had 2 on in the bottom of the 9th, but could not bring anybody home as Brad shut the door for good and lead the Rangers to their first championship since 2015.

RULES for PLAY 2020
Colorado Over 50 Baseball has enhanced rules meant to increase competitiveness and safety for players over the ago of 50. These rules will supersede all other baseball league rules. When a rule is not addressed or specified , the rules will revert to those established for traditional baseball play by the National Baseball Congress. Please see the complete rules in our ABOUT section.
COLORADO OVER 50 BASEBALL, INC (A not-for profit corporation)
We're the nation's largest independent baseball league for the "more experienced" player. We have both men and women players in our league; men must be 48 years old in the calendar year in which they begin playing, while women can play if they're at least 21 years old. We play full nine inning games, with a limited stealing rule and liberal substitution to ensure that all players get the maximum benefit and enjoyment from our league.
If you played baseball (not softball) “a long time ago” know that our league has many players just like you. If you played only softball, you can still have fun and be competitive in the games we play, it will take a little more practice to get you up to speed.
• Time Commitment: Minimum you can count on is 3 1/2 hours each week (Arrive early, and play 2:45-3:00 each game); some teams schedule weekly practices, some don’t, so that is up to the team you are selected by. You can go our website at coloradoover50baseball.org and click on the link for field locations so you can also figure travel time; Games are Saturday and Sunday at 9, 12:15 and 3:30 PM and depending on the team you may have equal numbers of games on each day or one may be a majority. Again, this depends on your team.
• MONEY: You should expect it to cost between $225-$250 for your league fees (16 game minimum), depending on your team’s roster size. You might also spend up to $100 on uniforms and $50-150 on “lumber”. Lots of help is available in these areas. Of course, you will need your own equipment (gloves, spikes, helmet etc) so be prepared to spend happy moments and $$ in your local, or online, sporting goods store. Those are the highlights.
