As the season entered its final weeks, the Super Sox played a game in Bobby Maduro Stadium in northern Miami. Another loss. During the bus ride back to Winter Haven, we stopped at a 7-Eleven to pick up beer and soda. Dalton Jones, a utility infielder with our club, and his wife, Barbara, parked behind us in the Mercedes Dalton had bought with his 1967 World Series share. We had just entered the store when we heard Barbara screaming in the parking lot. Some teenager had reached through the car window and grabbed her purse.

The thief ran through a gauntlet of players while making his escape. Not one of us former world-class athletes could put a hand on him. We chased the boy down the road, but he outdistanced the entire team without exceeding trotting speed. As we dragged ourselves back to the bus, tongues hanging, I realized the Senior Baseball Players Association was a tad too senior ever to succeed as anything more than a curiosity. The league folded midway through the following season.
