Axel Olson is a mere 73. He started playing in 1983 as a very fine shortstop and third baseman. He later pitched and continues to pitch to this day. Axel has been  president, board member and team manager. "He was always available for committee work, always there to help. And he is one of the nicest persons you could meet." He has played an important roll in developing new comers ball playing abilities. Skills...oh yes. Even at age 71, Axel played on the Del Webb 70's Sidewinders team that won the World Series. Humility. yes. On receiving the Hall of Fame award Axel said that others deserved it more than he. "I'm the luckiest guy to play softball--all the wonderful things that happened while playing." Well guess what Axel---you deserve it, and it wasn't luck!
