This was a Sunday In The Park. Only one day. I was surprised that 30
teams showed up, especially with all the hurricane problems that have
been in the area, and continue to develope.

Have a two day thing "scheduled" for next weekend, but looks like IKE will
take care of this one.

Actually, it was a WOW, what a Saturday night thing. He was experiencing
back problems. From what, not sure.

How did it go on your end?

Learned a new rule, or actually the questioning of an established rule.

R1 on 2B, batter gets on when F3 bobbles throw from pitcher, with R1
advancing to 3B. For some reason the infielders decide to gather at the
circle, 2B being vacated by infielders. Coach on offensive team sees
this and yells "There is no one covering 2B, no one covering 2B." F1 has
ball, clearly in the circle. Coaches first attempt at getting runners
attention failed, so he shouts again. Well, naturally the runner reacts and
starts for 2B. BU, says nothing, so I kill it and call R2 out on LBR.

Offensive coach's first words to me are, "Blue, no one is covering 2nd."
Me, "your point coach?"
Him, "No one is at 2B."
Me, "Thanks for the out coach" [it has been a long inning}
Him, "But no one is at 2B."
Me, "Your are correct coach, no defensive player, and now no runner."

Took several attempts to get across to him that one had nothing to do with
the other.

Even in a regular travel tournament, he would have probably been tossed,
but this being a "Sunday In The Park", I let it ride.

We also had a triple play, of sorts. Explain that later.

Speaking of covering for weak partners, I worked with one the better part of this weekend who believed every softball myth that is out there, and a few that I had never heard of. Made for a challenging time!

Are you two deliberately creating suspense or just trying to see who will guess at your next post?
