BTW, Michelle Smith proved that you needn't be a blond softball player to say stupid things on TV.
In the USA/UCLA game, a ball seemed to catch the knob of the bat and fingers of the batter on a high, inside pitch.
Smith tripped over it, but much to my chagrin, eventually got out something along the line of "when the hands are on the bat they are considered part of the bat."
I cringed, then laughed. Will they never get the idea that there should be someone with just a bit of rules knowledge involved in these broadcasts?
