Slow Pitch is still very big in Georgia. For spots in some leagues a lottery type system is used. We have more SP type ball parks (300' fences) than anything else other than little league. Luckily for FP, most of the parks have the
temporary PVC type of fences that are used. Modified has declined in Metro Atlanta where we used to have many fine teams that competed regionally and nationally. I was one of the few (3) women that called modified and we used to travel around the state calling invitational tournaments.
I quit calling SP fulltime in 1995, just calling here and there. But, interestingly, my UIC asked me to call the 12U 1997 ASA National here as they were short of umpires. I had the plate on the IF game. At that time, I had only called 2 nights of men's SP in 2 years. I guess when you've got it, you've got it!! LOL LOL
