the pitcher's hand !!
Also all the outfielders think they have the arm to
gun a runner crossing the plate instead of throwing
to the cut off and keeping the batter/runner at first !!
When I got down here, I quickly tired of those and
batters argunig balls and strikes. Imagine------
arguing balls and strikes in "freaking" slo-pitch !!!
Pathetic.
I finally walked away from it and I'm glad !
Work girl's high school ball --- still fun !!

I'm just the opposite. I walked away from what little HS ball I worked because it was so easy, I felt I was stealing money. However, it was so, SOOOOO boring, I preferred to watch the paint dry on my house.
BTW, anyone who lets the ballplayers and coaches dictate your game is not using the rules to their full advantage.

And I walked away from the SP I was doing, because it was so boring that I would rather watch grass grow. Of course, as I have mentioned, around here they play beer ball, so as the night wears on the games get sloppier and the whining becomes more frequent. I might feel different about it if they would outlaw the intoxicants until after play was over.
I took up FP because back then there was a deficit in the number of umpires needed to call the game. I fell in love with it almost immediately, and haven't looked back since.
