National XTreme Baseball League
Hey, guys,

I'm normally a softball umpire, but perusing the internet lead me to this.

Here's the league's website...

This is just frightening, I tell ya. Frightening.

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.

This isn't frightening, it's down right STUPID!

I live and work here in the Orlando area, I haven't worked any games in about a year due to my "real job", but I haven't heard anything about this. from what I say on the website, looks like someone is a hell of a promoter!

You aren't kidding. From the website:

Quote:
What makes it "Xtreme"? The game is played with both teams on the field at the same time, two pitcher's mounds, two home plates, ... The base lines are six feet apart, creating a double-diamond effect. The pitchers alternate turns to opposing batters. The team batting on the spectator's left side, will run the Flip Side of the bases.
Yikes!

Get your tickets fast...I read some of what was on the website and one of the main inspirations for inventing this type of baseball was to "make the game more fair for left handers" WTF??
