We had 98 degree weather down here this weekend with a heat index of 108, and I called in the league that I usually don't call for (mentioned in other posts). I've conceded doing the church league games just to help out my assignor. The guy running said league did not cancel the games, and I had to call 4 games in a row in the middle of the afternoon, smack dab in the middle of the hottest part of the day. Everywhere else had canceled all activities.

We had one guy go out with heat exhaustion, and I'll admit that I was probably getting close to doing the same, despite drinking three 32 ounce Powerades and 18 oz of water during the game, plus all the hydrating I did the day before. My sentences just weren't coming out right.

I told my assignor that I'll honor my current commitments for this particular league, but I will not, under any circumstances, call for this league ever again until this organizer is gone. If he's going to put everyone at such a risk in the name of rec league softball, I don't want to be a part of it.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
