I do understand that the "old folks" can no longer keep up with the play OBR requires, so the ASA and USSSA rule sets need to be there. But for the younger crowd, OBR should be the standard (IMO). By the way, I'm 41 and seen a few rules sets change over the years.

Yes, it was a very long day. I have 3 more games today and am looking forward to work on Monday so I can rest.
Wow, a sexist pig who apparently doesn't understand that softball and baseball are not the same game. Would you be surprised to find out that baseball was derived from a sport more resembling slow pitch softball?

Using OBR for softball is a joke. Then again, many baseball people cannot even agree on parts of OBR for their game.
