MSBL National Hall Of Fame Adds
Four New Members This Year
By Tom Prendergast
MSBL National President Steve Sigler
has selected four new MSBL / MABL
members for induction into the National
Hall of Fame. Roger Stanley (DC Metro),
Skip Bradley (San Antonio), Jim Tanner
(Terre Haute) and Joe Banasik (Houston).
For the past 16 years, Roger Stanley
and his partner Larry Lombardi have
directed one of the top MSBL and MABL
Leagues in the country. With 91 teams,
they oversee one of the largest leagues
in the nation. Hard work, long hours and
good people have been the secret to
their great success. Roger first joined the
league as a player and then became a
manager and later the next year a director. With a flair for writing software,
Roger came up with a patented software
program made exclusively for the DC
MSBL / MABL. This allows them to maintain a database of over 1500 players,
schedule all their games and keep track
of payments and league statistics.
Known as a by-the-book task master,
Skip Bradley runs a tight ship in San Antonio. Since 1994 he has presided over a
league that started with 6 teams and now
has 36. The league (continued on page 3)

Record Ten World Series Championships Handed Out
Berry’s Complete Their Sweep With Two Titles — 48+ Federal & 58+ American
By Tom Prendergast
The final day of the 2005 MSBL World Series ended as it began, under a bright blue sky
with temperatures in the mid-eighties. A couple hundred players made their way through
the main gates at Papago Park where eight of the ten championship games were played.
Both of the team representing Berry’s Athletic Supply won championship titles. The 58+
American squad defeated the Sacramento Rivercats, 7-2 after building a commanding 4-0
lead. The 48+ Federal team beat up on the Arkansas Diamonds, 13-2 as the Berry’s
scored in the first three innings to put the game away early. Without a doubt the Berry’s
had overwhelming crowd support as most of the spectators at their games were wearing
Berry’s t-shirts and cheering on their favorite players to victory.
The LA Breakers won the 38+ Continental game 12-5 over the Austin Capitols. In the
38+ Central title game the Rochester Redwings won big over the VABL Dodgers 16 - 3.
San Jose defeated the Sacramento Rivercats 14-5 to win the 45+ National Championship
trophy while the 55+ LA Athletics shutout the Kansas City Cubs 3-0.
In the 38+ Mountain Championship game the Dream Foundation Padres defeated the
So Cal Waves 4-1. The Fresno Bruins won their first MSBL WS title in ten years with a
10-3 victory over the Denver Angels. The DC Cardinals captured the 48+ Central title
game with a 11-3 win over the Cinderella team — the Taos Bats. And the first year team
of the Detroit 50’s won the 58+ Central Championship game over Team America 26-1.

is incredibly organized and well run. One of
Skip’s many qualities is his attention to detail. Since Skip took over the helm in San
Antonio, their league has been incredibly
active in participating in regional and national tournaments. Since 1994 they have
sent 103 teams to the WS, 8 to the Fall
Classic, 4 to the Holiday Classic in Disney
World and 1 to the Las Vegas Open.
Jim Tanner became aware of the MSBL
while watching tv back in 1990. He was
watching the Sports Channel network and
came across the MSBL World Series. He
was immediately curious to see how he
could get involved in a Men’s Senior Baseball League. In 1991 the Terre Haute
MSBL made its debut with 4 teams. Since
1992 teams from Terre Haute have participated in many regional and national tournaments. In addition to running a top quality league, Jim really enjoys getting to play
with the kids that he used to coach in little
league.
Since 1997, Joe Banasik has been in
charge of the Houston MABL. After learning about the league through a newspaper
advertisement, Joe has been heavily involved in the growth and day-to-day business of the league. Joining the MSBL and
MABL was the best decision that the Houston league ever made. They originally
signed up with the national office just so
they could participate in regional tournaments. As it turned out becoming part of
the nationwide MSBL and MABL brought
them more name recognition and national
credibility.
In addition to these members, Ken Jaffe,
Wil Gorman, Hal Kaiser and Dave Dunne,
will be inducted into the WS Hall of Fame.
