The Voice of Softball, Ray Molphy

ASA / Smoky Mountain Classic / Tournaments / USSSA
January 28, 2023

Ray Molphy

The awful screech from the public address system at Municipal Stadium was pure noise, and loud at that. It worse than any amateur rock band, worse than any late-night horror movie.

It was less than five minutes before the opening game of the 20th annual Stroh’s softball tournament, but Ray Molphy, softball’s best and most well-known voice, wasn’t worrying yet.

“I hope you guys know what you’re doing,” he said to the two men hurriedly trying to correct the mess. “because I don’t know a thing about those systems. All I do is talk into the microphone.”

Molphy, busy filling in his scoresheet and his position-by-position chart. turned to the reporter. “See the trials and tribulations of this job?” he asked. laughing.

In 25 years of public address announcing. Molphy’s come to expect such problems. Maybe not like them, but expect —and accept — them.

He began by announcing high school games in Seaford, N.Y., on Long Island. He now does all of Hofstra University’s football and basketball games, the ECAC basketball games at Nassau Coliseum and the basketball games of perennial power Long Island Lutheran High.

He does junior international basketball. He hosts an Inter-national Night program for a various foreign nation every year before crowds of 10,000-12,000. And he even did a New York Nets game when the regular announcer didn’t show.

But Ray Molphy will not be remembered as the Voice of Hofstra. He will be remembered as the Voice of Softball.

He’s announced the American Softball Association nationals the past “14 or 15” years. Last year, he also did the U.S. Slo-Pitch Softball Association nationals. In the first infant year of the National Slo-Pitch Conference, he did its tournaments, as he had done games in 1977 for the new pro league. He’ll do its all-star game July 22 in Louisville, Ky.

Already this year, he’s been to Las Vegas, Concord, Calif., Jacksonville, Fla., Winston-Salem, N.C., Chattanooga. Tenn., Springfield, Ohio.

“This is one of the best,” he said of Springfield. “Cleveland-Parma — that is really the mecca of slow-pitch softball. It turns out more for softball than any other.

“I’ll be going from March to mid-September,” he said. Then it’s football and basketball. “It’s a year-around job.”

Job? Not quite. The NSPC, for instance, merely pays softball’s best announcer expense money. No salary. And since he’s on the road on Fridays and sometimes even Mondays, he uses his six weeks of vacation time just to announce softball.

And doing all these weekend tourneys should qualify him for some sort of marathon talk award. After flying into Springfield Friday, for instance, he did all four games. Saturday, he did nine, working from 9 a.m. until around midnight. ;Today, he’ll be back at 12:30 p.m. for the two semifinals and the title game.

It’s a long, grueling schedule. Howard Cosell would never do it. But Ray Molphy? His only complaint is that it’s not his job.

“Is it my living? Unfortunately, no,” the 56-year-old Molphy said. “I work in personnel administration at Union Carbide.

“I was a frustrated jock. That’s what I wanted to be. So I made it My avocation instead. Listening to Molphy’s deep. sonorous voice, his colorful, varied delivery developed through years as a one-man announcing team, you’re surprised he isn’t announcing for some big station or network — because he certainly would like to.

“I think of it all the time, but I fed some radio reports on the ASA back to Long Island.” But that was about it.

“That’s my problem. I don’t have enough chutzpah. “Are there any openings in Springfield?” He laughed.

But he meant it. Molphy would love a job doing what he loves — especially since Union Carbide is moving to Connecticut within the next 18 months and “I’m not going with them. Then I’ll get serious about doing something.”

Until then, he’ll be doing what he does best — announcing softball games — every weekend. He sees a bright future for the NSCP, which just might mean a real job — pay and all for him in the future.

“Already, a number of teams want to come in next year,” he said of the 22-team league, which has more than doubled since 1977. “It’s the best thing that’s happened to slow-pitch softball. I think it might possibly get into a regional setup to minimize travel. But the level of competition — it just pro-vides fans everywhere with .the best in softball.

“The good thing about this new conference is the fences are 300 feet, the bases 65 feet. That’s really separated the men from the boys in the home run competition. There’s con-siderably fewer homers in the conference than in most week-end tournaments where the bases are 60 feet and the fences are 275-290 feet. “This is much more enjoyable. You see the double plays, guys getting thrown out at first, legitimate home runs, lower-scoring games.

“This,” Molphy continued. “is not just a trot-around-the-bases league. Last week, for instance, there were two unassisted double plays in consecutive innings. “I love it.” Now if he’d only get paid. Now that would be heaven.

Dudley/Budweiser

Dudley Budweiser Classic / Tournaments / USSSA
October 24, 2019

In 1983 MRPA decided to flex its new muscle in its war with the Minnesota Sports Federation, which stole ASA from MRPA in a dispute last year. The federation had made alliance with the established Amateur Softball Association (ASA) nationally, so this year the MRPA aligned itself with the United States Slowpitch Softball Association (USSSA).

“This tournament was excellent for MRPA,” said Bob Kojetin, association chairman and Edina director of parks and recreation. “It’s the best one we’ve had in 20 years. By bringing in some of the bigger teams, we give the people and our players the chance to see the type of ballplayer they’ve never seen before.”

Although Kojetin said he expected the success of the Brooklyn Center tournament to enhance the MRPA’s reputation, he expressed regret at the split among the state softball organizations. “I was the ASA commissioner here for 10 years,” he said. “I feel ASA has let us down with what has happened in Minnesota in the last year, but It’s going to hurt them in the long run.

The crowd was large and constant throughout the MRPA-Dudley softball tournament at Brooklyn Center last weekend, even though local teams were outclassed by finalists Elite Coating of Georgia and Howard’s of North Carolina.

In 1984 the Dudley becomes a Major NIT which assists them in bringing in even better competition. Budweiser would become the official beer sponsor after Miller Lite dropped it.

In 2001 during sessions at last years’ USSSA convention, major rule changes were made that will have a tremendous impact on the Dudley/Budweiser. A home run rule proposal was made and passed regarding the Major program which includes the Dudley event.

The restrictions consist of the following: Teams classified Major are allowed only 16 home runs per game. “AA” teams are allowed only 12 per game and “A” teams are allowed only 8 per game. “B” teams are allowed only 4 per game and “C” only 2 per game. So what does this mean for Major NIT’s.When a Major team plays an “AA” team each team may only hit 14 home runs. When a Major team plays an “A” team or below each team may hit only 12 home runs. Each home run hit that exceeds the limit will be a recorded out for that time at bat only.

When an “AA” team plays a “A” team or below the home run limit is 10 per game per team. In all other games the home run limit is 8 home runs per game.

2013 was marred by a torrential rainfall with three inches falling in around 90 minutes. Shingle Creek, which wraps around the back side of the outfield fences, overflowed into the park. The tournament would be continued in single elimination format at Becker Park on Saturday afternoon.

The COVID-19 pandemic strikes the Dudley in 2020. USSSA removed the Dudley from it’s conference schedule in an effort to run later into October to get their world tournaments off. What becomes of the Dudley remains to be seen but organizers Joe Erickson of the City of Brooklyn Center and Scott Brown are committed to running an event later in the season.

Warren Motors won the series (5-0): – MVP – Mickey McCarty, Warren Motors (24-28, .857, 17 HRs, 30 RBIs) – by ASA Balls and Strikes
This was the series that ended this ASA World series. The Open teams were getting to strong getting players from all over to play, while the Industrial teams were being restricted more. Warren Motors, who in 1976, went 94-2 and won the National Open Championship. The actually lost three of their best players from a year ago as Bruce Meade went to Oklahoma City to play for Nelson’s Painting, while the tandem of Ron Ford and Mike Nye joined the Pro League to play for the Detroit Caesars. Don’t tell that to Armco Triangles as this year’s Warren Motors looks every bit as powerful. The margin of victory for Warren’s in this series was the highest ever in the history of the ASA World Series. Warren’s also set the record for most runs scored in the series. The tally was 175-71. Once again, there is limited information on the individual games in favor of just a recap of the series. Mickey McCarty was a run away choice for MVP as he had a series for the ages. There were other players that also had some great stats, including: From Warren’s; Ray Fleetwood (19-24, .792, 11 HRs); Bob Disney, Warren’s 14-17, (.824, 9 HRs).

1968 at Southgate, MI

ASA Open All-Stars of 1967 ——————- Little Caesars, Detroit, MI (1967 ASA Open Runner-up)

Open All-Stars won the series (3-1): MVP – Officially Not named – (Jim Galloway, ASA All Stars, mentioned by newspaper accounts)
Jim’s Sports Shop of Pittsburgh were scheduled to play the All-Stars as they were the defending 1967 ASA Open National Champs, but they left ASA and joined the USSSA organization. So the ASA Runners-up, Michael’s Lounge of Detroit, MI, under new sponsorship of Little Caesars played the All-Stars instead. Little Caesars opened up with a bang winning the first game big. After that, it was the All Stars who dominated the final 3 games. The All Stars were outscored by the powerful Detroit squad 41-34 in the 4 games. After the first game explosion, All Star Pitcher Bill Brown from County Sports kept the Little Caesars bats in check and the Offense did its thing. Big Jim Galloway was mobbed by local fans all wanting to get an autograph.

The defending champs were just too strong for the All Stars. With former pro footballer, Bill Brown pitching and the power of Bert Smith, Jim Galloway, Bill Malloy, Lou Russo, Rocky Salice and company, the All Stars were pretty much overmatched. Crowd favorite HT Waller (Florida) did not disappoint as he put on a display of power that even impressed the champs. There were no results on the scores, just that there was a four game sweep by County Sports led by Jim Galloway and Bert Smith over the All Stars.
