Chairman's Notes - December 2023

Dec 17, 2023 ·   Chairman's Notes

Managers, we are disappointed that we had to cancel the 50's State Tournament, to say the least.  However, after being in the rain all day today, and knowing more is coming, we did make the proper and safe decision.  We will not make up the State Tournament because of the lack of fields in January, and not wanting to bring a hardship on your 2024 roster in February.  The Teams of the Year in the 50's Divisions will be awarded some nice gifts instead.  Teams of the Year are determined by the number of points won in a giv ...

Managers, based on the weather report for this weekend, we are cancelling the Tournament early.  We are looking at 2-3 inches of rain on Saturday and more on Sunday morning.  This will allow you to cancel your Hotel reservations early, so make sure you contact all of your Players to alert them of the decision.     At this time, we do not know the exact weekend of the 50's State Tournament, but it will be held in early 2024.   God bless and Merry Christmas to all,   Mike KnowlesFHC Chairman

Chairman's Notes - November 2023

Nov 27, 2023 ·   Chairman's Notes

Managers, we are already at the end of November, and looking toward our State Championships in the next few weeks.  For the most part, we had decent weather, except for losing a couple of tournaments.  We had to move Venues, and go to 'shortened games' on occasion, but in the end, most of our games were played, which is exactly what we all like.  We are just like little boys when it comes to playing ball.  When we play, we are generally happy, and when we don't, we are very sad.  But, the beauty of our FHC League i ...

Fall Voting & Elections

Oct 18, 2023 ·   Voting

Managers, the fall vote will take place here on the FHC Website from Friday, October 27, to Tuesday, October 31.  Please discuss the items with your Team, and please vote.  Voting is one of the most solemn and important things we can do as American citizens.  You have either heard me say, or read my thoughts on the website.  Your vote is really important.  My feeling is, "Don't ever complain about something we voted on if you do not vote."

Questions About Voting

Oct 13, 2023 ·   Voting

Managers, it has come to my attention that there are some Managers that believe that the FHC Board of Directors, or at least part of, has the ability to control the online voting that we do periodically each year.  That could not be farther from the truth.  I have a great relationship with you all, so let me start by saying we have one of the best, if not the best Webmasters in the entire country.  Our webmaster is Tres Fenton, and he lives in the Tampa Bay area.  We started this great relationship right after I was ele ...

Chairman's Notes - October 2023

Oct 01, 2023 ·   Chairman's Notes

September just flew by, didn't it?  We were fortunate with the weather for both tournaments.  We really try to get our games in, but we are limited by a couple of things.  The first thing, is of course, the weather not just over that weekend but the days leading up to the weekend.  If it rains inches on Thursday and or Friday, the fields may not be available.  I personally have met with all of our Maintenance Supervisors, and they know how large we are, and we bring many games to play, so they will try to get the f ...

Checking in Players at Tournaments Until March 2024

Sep 21, 2023 ·   Tournament News

Managers, we will return to checking in all Players starting in October, and will do so until March of 2024.  Remind your Players to bring their FHC Cards and driver's licenses.  It is a good idea to take a picture of your card, and save it on your cell phone, or at least laminate the card for safe keeping.  Also, check with your Players to see if they need a Replacement Card.  They can contact me with a Replacement Card Form, or apply for one at a Tournament.  It will cost them $25 for a Replacement Card.   ...
