What chapter is your friend from?

Mercer County (Delaware Valley).

Funny, I partner with him in ASA and NCAA (ECAC) softball often, and after one college doubleheader, we left the field immediately but, the game being rather uneventful except for one loud dispute within the visitors' dugout, remained in the parking lot changing rather slowly and discussing an upcoming tournament that he runs.

Wouldn't you know it, as the visitors made their way to their bus, one of the players spotted us and quickly approached with the following:

"I need your names, please."

"Why?"

"I have a federal discrimination lawsuit pending against my college and the athletic department, and I might need your testimony." [This was regarding the dispute in the dugout, which my partner and I heard but didn't get involved in. My partner had warned one of the players for a USC remark that apparently had its root in whatever dispute was going on.]

I wasn't sure how to answer, but my partner said simply, "All the information is on the ECAC web site." [That is true, sort of . . .]

After the player boarded the bus, my partner and I looked at each other as if to say, "We know we should get the h3ll out when the game's over. Why didn't we?"
