Softball Rule Clarifications
Over the first two weeks of the softball season, two rules have come up that Commissioner Ostrow wants clarified:
The max players allowed in the batting order is 12, however a team may have players play in the field and a DH bat for them.
Only the pitcher and catcher can be pitch run for during the game. However, if a player is unable to run due to injury it must be stated at the reading of the ground rules prior to the game. If the injury occurs during the game, a pinch runner is allowed. If a girl is injured, a male is allowed to pinch run for her.

5th Boro Sports Hall Of Fame Inductees 2012
2012 5TH BORO SPORTS HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES
Football
Thomas Heedles
Position: QB/WR
Career: 2009-Present ( Goonies, Wolves, *****)
Bio: Unavailable at this time
Basketball
John Scamardella
Position: SF/SG
Number: 26, 8
Career: 2009-Present
Teams: Wake Up S.F, BYF, Legends
John Scamardella has made a huge splash in the 5thboro basketball league. Scamardella finds himself as the all-time two-point and three-point field goals leader in the 3v3 and 4v4 league play. He holds the most MVP’s to date with three and has lead his team to a 3v3 championship while appearing in another league championship. John is a great teammate that can shoot the lights out of the ball and has a passion for the game of basketball and 5th boro sports.
Softball
Rich Collyer
Position: CF
Number: 44
Career- 2008-Present
Teams: Rugged, Masterbatters
Rich Collyer has been a staple of the 5th boro league since its inception. Collyer has won multiple accolades in the league including a shared championship, multiple all-star game appearances, and a gold glove for every year that he has played. The former college pitcher ( Rockland County and Ramapo College ) remains one of the most feared hitters in the league. One of the best 5th Boro softball moments took place when Collyer had a beat on a ball and instead of using his glove he caught the ball with his bare hand. Winning a championship with one of his teams remains a goal of Collyer’s and enjoying his time playing in the league. Little bit of advice if you run on Collyer in the outfield more then likely you will get gunned out at the plate.
Anthony Gross
Position: P
Career- 2008-Present
Teams: Ghosts of Babe Ruth, Goonies
Anthony Gross is the all time league leader in games won, and strikeouts. Gross remains to this day one of the most feared aces on the mound in the league. His devastating fastball has sent more batters down looking then any other pitcher in league history. Batters are left shaking their heads trying to catch up to the heat that this pitcher delivers each and every time on the mound. Gross lead the Goonies to the second ever 5th Boro Championship in one of the most memorable games to date. Gross continued to dominate batters he faced throughout that game pitching into the late hours of the night. Gross has won the CY Young several times along with multiple gold gloves. Gross will continue pitching for many years he says and another title is something on the adjenda.
