Season Over
 
My 30th year has wrapped up. Uniforms, gear, etc. are cleaned up and stowed.
I guess I don’t ump a lot of games, down to 120, but I have and I guess always will have a lot of family events, etc. :rolleyes:
I hope the games I did helped the cause.
Thanks again for all the helpful comments, ideas, tips and answers. :D :cool:

After 32 games over six days (fri-sun of two straight weeks) at the stl softball showcase, the last out was the best call I made all year long. It was a welcome end this year. Now on to basketball. Have a great offseason y'all

I COULD go nearly year-round here in MN as well, if I wanted to. Dome leagues run pretty much throughout the winter.

I choose not to, though, because I prefer the down time. If I lived in TX or Cali or AZ, I would also choose several months of down time.

Here, the time between the end of fall ball and the start of the HS season is just about right (roughly, Nov - March).

Then why do you even have a local and separate vocabulary as teams talk about going "dark"?

That said, offseason here in Atlanta area is Thanksgiving until mid-January. Hardly enough time to recruit, train, hold admin meetings, etc., all the business side needs of any organization.

July & August perfect weather for down time in TX

July and August is good for down time anywhere in the Midwest. Just too hot. So I am sure it is in Texas.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:08am.
