Does anyone also remember when that distance seemed about right?

Is SP softball becoming SP baseball?

Do you remember when players did not play so deep out of fear? Do you remember when 8 out of 10 plays at 1B were not bangers?

It's the equipment which controls the games anymore.

BTW, unless something drastic happens, the stealing at SP is heading down the drain. But you never know, Bernie still has a chance to sell it to the general council.

The 375 ball is pretty much here to stay. The change to revert to the 525 compression supposedly has been withdrawn.

The umpire's council reversed an earlier decision and decided to support the "end the inning due to a excess HR", but other committees are pushing against it. The reason for the change is that is seems that a mere "out" for excess HRs isn't harsh enough to persuade teams to play at the proper level.

My proposal of moving to the 12" ball for women in the co-ed game was basically attacked by a couple of women who claimed they personally were too far removed from their younger days to handle a 12" ball.

The other one about the starting time of the clock in the game lost out to the inability of the chair to understand the proposal.

Also, for anyone in the Central Atlantic Region, the regional clinic has come back to life and will take place the second weekend of March in the area of Washington's Dulles Airport.
