From my perspective way out here in the Panhandle, it is probably a good idea. While ASA slow pitch seems pretty strong in FL, fast pitch needs help. Too many teams play in other alphabets. Heck, Pensacola hosted "The United Southern Girls Fast Pitch 'World Series,'" featuring teams from at least 7 states (and no foreign countries, Mike). I hope the consolidation strengthens ASA fast pitch in Florida. We have a lot of good softball players and a lot of good umpires. But we need some leadership!
