Heh.  My mother was really good at softball.  When I was kid she used to strike guys out cold.  Some would get really pissed, too, since I guess it damaged their fragile egos to get struck out by a woman.

That's cool. I wish my wife was athletic, but she is FAR from it. She's more like an "accident waiting to happen" clutsy. Hopefully my little girl will inherit my coordination instead of mommies.

You've totally missed the point. Just because your sandlot games have no organization doesn't mean there is strategy involved in baseball.
Since you are closed off to any reality on this argument, I'll just leave it at that as trying to relay the intricacies of baseball are lost to you.

I would enjoy a laid back adult baseball league.  I've never seen one.  Or even a competitively intense league that wasn't full of dillholes.

I have to say that is the one thing I loved about semipro football.  Very few prima donnas and delusional guys.  There was a real sense of guys understanding how lucky they were to be able to suit up at all and appreciation that for any player it can end permanently on any given play.  It was the complete opposite of what I experienced in fast pitch softball.

Plus, if someone ticked you off, it wasn't hard to find a way to crack heads with them and get it off your chest.   ;D

There is an adult baseball league across the river in Ohio around here, and one of my former coworkers played in it for a while. Unfortunately, they take their games more serious that alot of minor league teams. That league is loaded with college players. WAY out of my league at this point, I'm not exactly in "playing shape".

ChadTower:

I'm slowly slipping away from sight of playing shape.  I've noticed that on this side of 30 it gets harder and takes longer to get back, too.
