Safe softball?? They aren't made out of plastic :)

Safety First!;)

Safe softball?

Bob

You know, I have actually seen pitching plates made of wood. That means that there are wood and rubbers on softball fields. :D

You mean the rubber didn't break when that big ball came flying at it at 98 MPH? That's one tough rubber!

I'm pretty sure you guys are going to start slapping each other with towels any moment. :eek:

tournament this past weekend. Games on field had been at 40 feet. Now going to 43 feet. Parks department has to install new pitcher's plate.

Parks guy: "I have to have about 10 minutes to bury the rubber."
Me: "Then are you going to put in the new pitcher's plate?"
Parks guy: Long pause, then smile. Chalk one up for a parks guy smart enough to figure that out.

(Author's note: This guy obviously does not work for King County at Marymoor Park in Redmond. None would put in the work for a new pitcher's plate, much less be smart enough to get the joke. However, they WOULD be smart enough to give every umpire a $35 parking ticket for failure to pay the buck to enter the sacred parking lot.)

Which takes us back to the intent of my original question.

LOL :D Funny.

But, I think they ignored you...

Of course we did. Why should this time be different than any other time? :cool:

But, then again, did Wade really expect anything different??:eek::D

They may of thought it hit the pitchers foot or off of the pitcher and went into the air! Who knows what they were thinking? Maybe about a mercy rule and a cold drink on the way home! :)

Got wood! Help!

No, and lucky for me I forgot I had responded to this thread anyway.

I decided to join in the fun of this thread though.

peepeee

*runs away giggling holding my pony tail*
