Antioch, Pittsburg and Gun Points...err Bay Point. What's not to love? Throw in Richmond in West County and you've got quite the combination.

It's hard to believe that San Ramon and Danville are in the same county.

Speaking of great Mexican food, New Mecca in Pittsburg is worth the trip.

Will you make up your mind? You make a pitch for them to come to LA (and BTW it isn't the GREEN grass that is the draw) and then you disqualify some of them.

If sun shines 24 hours a day, why was the Sulphur all but cancelled?

And I do know some good La. umpires. Ya'll got Wayne.

The sun DOES shine 24 hours a day. That is irrefutable. Just 'cuz it ain't shining on you, doesn't mean it isn't shining.

Grass being greener and food being the best are subjective opinions. Probably formulated from walking on other peoples' lawns and sampling various all ya can eat buffets.

Of course you need more umpires you have only had firstpitch softball since the early 90's. I went to LSU, I had been umpiring fastpitch in Socal since I was 15. My first year their no fastpitch, but I was told I should come back the following year. So I did, I was 20 and had four years more experience than people 2 and 3 times older.
