Never saw so many out of the park home runs. [200' fences].
That cold ball was jumping. The play was pretty good for this
early. Because of a shortage of umpires [probably sitting in front
of the TV and fireplaces - SMART], had to work four straight
one off, four more. Left the fields at 12:15 A.M. Sunday
morning. Woke up to rain. They called off the remainder of
the tournament. .

What a shame their intelligence didn't kick in until Sunday morning. A tournament like this is absurd. Part of me says that because too many idiots have forced the game of softball into far too long a season.
The other part is that some people would actually like to have time to do things other than their regular job and umpire softball. I hope that was the reason they were short on umpires.
To be honest with you all, I really don't care what the climate is, there is no good excuse to make softball a year-round sport.
JMHO,
Mike
