Everytime I read &#8220;The Great State of Texas&#8221; in John&#8217;s emails, I remember my Sports Law professor in law school.  It was summer school class, and he was a spry 90 years old and sharp as a tack.   Whenever we were studying a case from the courts in Texas, he used to emphasize the phrase in a long, drawn out fashion, &#8220;<em>This case&#8230;..from the Greeee-aaaat State of Texxxxxxxxxxxx-as&#8221;<\/em>   Those cases were always easier to remember because of the emphasis. Sports law in summer school.  How great is that?. My brother Bobby lived there for a time, when he worked in the front office for a couple of minor league baseball teams, first the Lubbock Crickets and later, the Edinburg Roadrunners, near McAllen, TX.  It IS a great state.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n<strong><br \/>\nHouston Denver Harbor Tournament <\/strong><br \/>\nHost Team : Denver Harbor<br \/>\nDate : April 18th &#038; 19th :<br \/>\nLocation : Houston Texas<br \/>\nLevel : Masters<br \/>\nEntry Fee: $250.00,<br \/>\nContact Person : Victor Almendarez<br \/>\nPhone : 713-670-4391<br \/>\nEmail : victor.m.almendarez@usps.gov<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nSan Antonio Compardes Cinco de Mayo Tournament<\/strong><br \/>\nHost Team : San Antonio Compardes<br \/>\nDate: May 2nd &#038; 3rd<br \/>\nLocation : Alva Jo Fischer Complex  San Antonio Texas<br \/>\nLevel : Open \/ Masters<br \/>\nEntry Fee : UnKnown<br \/>\nContact Person : Jody Armijo<br \/>\nPhone : UnKnown<br \/>\nEmail: compardes@satx.rr.com  jody_1103@yahoo.com <\/p>\n<p><strong>Houston Hawks Tournament<\/strong><br \/>\nHost Team : Houston Hawks<br \/>\nDate : May 16th &#038; 17th<br \/>\nLocation:  Houston Texas<br \/>\nLevel : Masters<br \/>\nEntry Fee : $ 250.00<br \/>\nContact Person : Gabby Duron \/ Andy Duron<br \/>\nPhone: 713-204-1983<br \/>\nEmail : UnKnown <\/p>\n<p><strong>Austin Castro Concrete Joker Athletic Club 19th Annual Memorial Weekend Tournament<\/strong><br \/>\nHost Team : Castro Concrete Jokers<br \/>\nDate : May 23rd &#038; 24th<br \/>\nLocation: Del Valle Softball Complex Del Valle \/ Austin Texas<br \/>\nLevel : Open \/ Masters depending on interest of teams<br \/>\nEntry Fee: $300.00<br \/>\nContact Person : John Limon<br \/>\nPhone : 512-312-8502<br \/>\nEmail : texasisc@gmail.com<br \/>\nLee Castro Jr.<br \/>\nPhone : 512-627-2090<br \/>\nBeatrice Castro<br \/>\nPhone : 512-303-3470<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nAustin Blue Jays Tournament<\/strong><br \/>\nHost Team : Austin Blue Jays<br \/>\nDate : June 6th &#038; 7th<br \/>\nLocation: Del Valle Softball Complex Del Valle \/ Austin Texas<br \/>\nLevel : Open<br \/>\nEntry Fee : $300.00<br \/>\nContact Person : John Tovar Jr.<br \/>\nPhone : 512-507-2747<br \/>\nEmail : JETOVAR5@yahoo.com<br \/>\nRay Salazar<br \/>\nPhone : 512- 587-7711<br \/>\nEmail : Raymond.c.saldana@irs.gov <\/p>\n<p><strong>Houston Geo-Per Tournament <\/strong><br \/>\nHost Team : Houston Geo-Per<br \/>\nDate : June 20th &#038; 21st<br \/>\nLocation : Houston Texas<br \/>\nLevel : Open \/ Masters<br \/>\nOpen Entry Fee:<br \/>\nMasters Entry Fee :  $250.00<br \/>\nOpen Contact Person : Henry Munoz<br \/>\nPhone: UnKnown<br \/>\nEmail:  enrique_munoz@hotmail.com  geo.per@hotmail.com<br \/>\nMasters Contact Person : Ron Merryman<br \/>\nPhone : 281-658-6802<br \/>\nEmail : Ronmerryman@comcast.net <\/p>\n<p><strong>San Antonio Glow Worm 4th of July Tournament<\/strong><br \/>\nHost Team: San Antonio Glow Worm<br \/>\nDate : July 4th &#038; 5th<br \/>\nLocation : Alva Jo Fischer Complex  San Antonio Texas<br \/>\nHost Team : San Antonio Glow Worm<br \/>\nLevel : Open<br \/>\nEntry Fee : UnKnown<br \/>\nContact Person : David Rios Jr.<br \/>\nPhone : 210-310-6681<br \/>\nEmail : jmb3223@yahoo.com<br \/>\nContact Person : Ruben Rios<br \/>\nPhone : UnKnown<br \/>\nEmail :  iceworms@juno.com <\/p>\n<p><strong>Houston Rusk Athletic Club Tournament<\/strong><br \/>\nHost Team : None<br \/>\nDate : July 17th,18th &#038;19th<br \/>\nLocation : Memorial Park Houston Texas<br \/>\nLevel : Open \/ Masters<br \/>\nEntry Fee : UnKnown<br \/>\nContact Person : James Soria<br \/>\nPhone : UnKnown<br \/>\nEmail : james@soriagroup.com <\/p>\n<p><strong>Houston Colts Tournament <\/strong><br \/>\nHost Team: Houston Colts<br \/>\nDate : August 8th &#038; 9th<br \/>\nLocation :  Houston Texas<br \/>\nLevel : Masters<br \/>\nEntry Fee : $250.00<br \/>\nContact Person : Steve Prado<br \/>\nPhone : 281-788-2359<br \/>\nEmail : prado.steve@yahoo.com<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nHouston Uncle Charlies Misfits 1st Annual Tournament of Champions<\/strong><br \/>\n*** Prize Tournament $1000.00 ***<br \/>\nHost Team : Houston Uncle Charlies Misfits<br \/>\nDate : September : 5th &#038; 6th<br \/>\nLocation : Houston Texas<br \/>\nLevel : Open<br \/>\nEntry Fee : $350.00<br \/>\nContact Person : Steve Prado<br \/>\nPhone 281-788-2359<br \/>\nEmail : prado.steve@yahoo.com <\/p>\n<p><strong>Beeville Merchants Tournament <\/strong><br \/>\nHost Team : Beeville Merchants<br \/>\nDate : September 12th &#038; 13th<br \/>\nLocation : Beeville Texas<br \/>\nLevel : Masters<br \/>\nEntry Fee: $250.00<br \/>\nContact Person : Chaun Moron<br \/>\nPhone : 361-354-1782<br \/>\nEmail : Cmoronjr@stx.rr.com<br \/>\nContact Person : Leo Rodriguez<br \/>\nPhone : 361-319-0463<br \/>\nEmail : Dbarodco@sbcglobal.net <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From our friend in the Great State of Texas, John Limon: Hello Fastball Friends, Sponsor&#8217;s, Manager&#8217;s and Player&#8217;s.
