John Beintema

Player Profile:
John joins the Resurrection Life softball team after years of pleading from Manager Colby. John finally caved in for the 2010 season and the Warriors are thankful.

John hasn't been on the diamond much in recent years past but he has a natural ability for the game and should fit right in. Being his first year with the team, there will be a few weeks of 'getting-to-know-you' activity on the field before both John and Squad know what they're getting.

In the meantime, John will be looked to for a steady veteran presence in the lineup and in the dugout. Plus, he has shown that he has a soft set of hands and a good eye at the plate. Even with his limited experience, I expect John to reach base at a healthy clip and play several positions without too much trouble.

Great to have John with us this year. Good guy and he's already donated a non broken bucket that Manager Colby can use for his softballs.

Personal Notes:
John has been married to Nola for nearly 38 years and has two kids, Aaron (teammate on the Warriors) and Hannah. John also has two grandchildren, Erin and Devan, that he loves to spoil. John and Nola attend Resurrection Life where Nola is an administrator and John is the King of Helpers. John is quite the swimmer and after completing his collegiate swim career, he twice swam from Madagascar to Australia just because he could.
