What’s the opposite of T-Ball? Perhaps it’s “80 Ball.”
Iolan David Heard joined a squad of octogenarians from the area to form the Redbirds 80s, who just won a senior softball tournament in Shelbvyville, Ind. (That’s the other major difference from T-Ball; the squad has to travel much farther to find opponents.)
The Redbirds bested three other squads in the event. Heard, fourth from left in the front row, is technically a “junior” member of the squad, at 78. Rules allow for a teams to recruit a pair of younger players for the tournament.
