Kellerumps. I can appreciate that there is a new fan in your father, but to be perfectly honest with you, I do not believe he is part of the demographic group they are seeking. They most likely are seeking the young players and coaches who are the future of softball. I think that is why so many of use get upset with the inane and inaccurate statements made by the on-air personalities.
It is hard enough to get them away from comparing what they saw happen in last night's MLB game without them buying into what some icons of women's softball states on TV. Some of the idiots on Usenet newsgroups are slamming Mike Mazur for just outright costing Cal the national title. Forget the softball rule, they know baseball and it must be true for all games. Even a baseball umpire or two are defending softball's rules.
People who are considered "experts" should pass on correct information. If these experts had any respect for the game, they would ask to have someone knowledgeable of the rules to assist them. Over the years, it is apparent this isn't going to happen.
