But that wasn't my point. I'm of the opinion that every sport should have a season. Any season for softball should not include the months of November, December, January or February. There is plenty of time to play softball during the remaining 2/3 of the year.
Oh...I understand your intent, as we have all heard it plainly stated many, many times!

Actually, buying into your philosphy of a sport season, the time to not have games in Texas would be July, August and September. Then it is just too darned hot!

Well, at least I'm consistent.

Worked three day NFHS tournament this week. Weather in 30's with high wind, but sun. Sat. was beautiful. Did total of 18 games, six each day. Good tournament.

Have three scheduled this week starting on Mon.

How in hell do you do 6 games a day .
Are they time limit games ?
For me to do six games I would be on the diamond for about 9 to 10 hours .

Thumbs up
Ahhhhh
Still very trying tired day .
On our age grade tournaments we do 4 games a day hour and a half .
Mens Open ,7 innings so we could be on the diamond 2 hours easy each game .
No matter how you try and speed the game up for men they still find other ways to slow it down .
Women again seven innings but usually hour and a half .
Either way I am a reasonably fit guy and am still stuffed after a days softball .

You probably are old enough also to be Glen's son, or even grandson!

74 years (am pretty sure), two open hearts, just bought a sawmill, cut his own lumber to build his house..............

I ain't gonna race him!
