Fortuna De Oro is full of senior citizens this time of year and many of them love to come out and compete with each other on Saturday mornings. We found that many of these games have a different set of rules by which they play.
The horseshoe pits were full. A couple of players were over 90 years old. Everyone was throwing from 27 feet rather than 40.
There was a slow-pitch double-header at the softball field against the RV park next door. Our park had a lady playing second base.
A batter cannot get a base on balls, but can be called out on strikes. In these fields there are two home plates. The one on the left is for a runner coming home to touch, and the regular home base is protected by the catcher. This eliminates collisions.
The same is true at first base. The red base is for the runner. There is also a mercy rule that a team can score no more than five runs in an inning.
