Darrell,

I can tell you, there will be some screaming and bloodletting, but nothing to figure out. Whoever OKC wants in control, will be in control.

If you mean the NUS, they have zero influence, and zero input. The Board of Directors will rubberstamp the Commissoner selected by a very short committee (Cress, Monson, and your area Board representative). The new Commissioner will have full control over his entire staff; only if he asks your Regional UIC for input, will any be given. He may get some guidance (read pressure) from the short committee, or the Board, to make (or avoid) certain appointments; but the Code gives the Commissioner full and final control of all staff appointments.

You forgot the

"MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"




But that begs the question...

How did some bodunk backwards state like OKC get to be in charge of anything except how much peanuts should be on the floor of their honkey tonk bars???

CA or a real state should be in charge.

Um....for the record, OKC is short for Oklahoma City, which of course, by its very name is obviously a city, not a state. You know, like NYC, or New York City.

"They" do. There isn't a meeting gone by where everyone has not been reminded that slowpitch pays the bills.

If anything, the reason many SP rules aren't arbitrarily changed is because so many believe it is necessary to keep the traditional game intact. The "inning ending" homerun for D this year was about as drastic a change in the game you will see from the ASA crowd. And we all know, if the teams played it straight up and were not trophy-hunters, this would not have been necessary.

Personally, I like the game the way it is. I believe the bases should be backed off a little bit, and the bats dummied down, but other than that, it's fine by me.

JMHO,

Insinuating CA isn't a "real" state? Don't think you will get too many arguments on this board!
