We, myself included in these forums seem to beat-up on the players in Adult softball leagues pretty good telling all those horror stories. So I decided tonight I should tell the other side which is how most games go and most players conduct themselves unfortunely it that 1 or 2 % we usally talk about and remember
Tonight had 3 games of Men's C league that went as smooth as a baby's butt. 1st game I am BU no bangers lots of pops 7 innings home team wins. 2nd game I am PU again no real close banger got 1 pitcher that want to throw that 4' slinger so I had quite a few "illegal" calls but no arguments from pitcher or batters 5 inning run rule game. Then the 3rd game back at BU must had at least 5 or 6 very close bangers at 1st and 2nd also a pulled foot from F3 and one where F3 foot came off but right after the catch. To my amazement with this many close plays there was never one peep from any player except for "good call blue" I applaud and appreciate these guys for the conduct and behavior. 7 inning game home lead for 6 and lost it in the 7th 11-10.
Just thought that a good story does need to be told, I know this is why we all enjoy what we are doing and keep coming back for more(5 nights this week)
