It’s senior slow pitch softball time once again in the RGV. The Rio Grande Valley Senior Texan Softball League is back for its 32nd year. The league is open to all local Texans as well as Winter Texan individual senior men and women aged 55 years and older. The youngest player last year was 57, and the most experienced player was 85. Last year over 110 seniors played in the league and this year they hope to top that.
