I will not name the public school in order to protect the guilty or innocent, but the public H.S. was the home team and their softball diamond was behind the parking lot which was behind the school.

After the game I was at my gear getting out of my plate girl when three members of the home team walked by. One of them was holding a baby about 18 months old. I told the girl holding the baby that I thought it was great that her little sister came to watch her play. The three of them started laughing very hard. The baby was not the player's little sister but her daughter,

Maybe if you weren't getting out of your girl, those girls wouldn't have been laughing at you.

Well, the coaches are always saying, "We're one big family."

Remember when we use to "banged them out". Don't say that anymore.

Yeah, had an umpire describing a bang-bang play that happened in coed ball. It was almost hilarious because he kept using the word bang the whole time. He was an older gentleman, so his ignorance can be forgiven. One of the other umpires and I were dying trying to keep a straight face, because we know the slang of the younger generation.

How juvenile!
