Welcome to my personal web site Mighty Mike Macenko's House Of Swing. I have been working and having fun with this web site for over 20 years. I really do enjoy working on it with designing things and especially putting in information in here about some of the former softball players I have had the good fortune to play with. I really feel as though I was in the right place at the right time over 40 years ago.
I was lucky enough to play softball with my best friends from Brook Park, Ohio and once I went to one event it was like going from the slow lane into the high speed lane. A very good friend of mine (Tom Coyne) introduced me into the softball arena in Cleveland, Ohio and that is where it took off. People wonder how long it took to get to the top of Big Time Softball. For me it was kind of easy because I had a great swing at an early age... So with a great swing and the right work ethic I had a great start to this game. Also because of the people I was involved with I was able to start at the top and stay there ever since I was 17 years old...
Another good friend named Jim Brown convinced me to go to the tryouts for Tom Coyne's team called Brook Park Merchants. ...I went to a Home Run Derby n Lakewood, Ohio that Tom put me in and it was for the Championship of Greater Cleveland Slow Pitch Softball... I did not know what this was going to be like but I took full advantage of it and hit like there was no tomorrow... Just swinging away!

After my stellar career hitting close to 7000 home runs playing slo-pitch softball, I started to promote the game after playing it for over 27 years.
I have had the good fortune to work with the big name companies in the business. From working with Steele's Sports Co. to the top of the mountain with Nike Inc. I have also had the chance to work with Louisville Slugger, Combat Bats, Anaconda Sports and now with Miken Sports that has my signature on one of their best Senior Softball bats.

For almost 2 years now we are having to deal with this Covid-19 while still trying to live your life.. There has been some serious changes in the softball industry the last year with the aquisition of Easton Sports..
