At the draw I sat near one of the teams and was told that the swimming pool at their hotel didn't work but the hotel across the road was a "sister" hotel and they could use that pool. While walking across the street to the "sister" hotel in their bathing suits, a Sheriff's Deputy stopped them and made them go back to their hotel because they didn't allow females to dress like that in public. I laughed my butt off at that one.
There was a guy here who I won't name but he was the umpire coordinator at the 18U Western held here last year.

Anyway, at one of our tournaments he was at the "headquarters" hotel. Had to run for a kegga beer or something and was waiting for the elevator to go back up. Elevator door opens and here are a couple of players from the tournament. He recognizes them, they probly recognize him. They are, um, out of uniform as they head for the pool.

He had a hard time focusing on their strike zone the next day.
