Ray Monast competed in various Warren fast-pitch and slow-pitch softball leagues from 1948 to 2002 (yes, that’s more than fifty years).  It took him a while to come out on top, but eventually his Manny’s Hockey team won the Warren Men’s League division title in 1978.

Beginning in the 1980s Ray also played in the Rhode Island Over-50 League. 

Among his accomplishments at that level were: His Rhode Island Colts 65 AAU team finished as National runners-up in 1997 and in seventh place nationally in 2003; he was named to the Senior Olympics Rhode Island All Stars in 1999; and he served as player/organizer of the 2003 Rhode Island Colts team that captured the seventy/seventy-five-year-old Silver Medal at the National Senior Olympics.
