Nice try with the Pogo comparison. At the 2001 Gold Nationals, in Marietta, GA at the coaches meeting the question was asked, "Should college players be allowed?", It looked like every coach voted NO, as I did not see one hand go up in the affirmative. But we still have the status quo. So much for listening up.

Like Pogo, you are living in a cartoon world, where reality is often imitated, but reality is often denied.
OK, name some names.... WHO are these evil people? ASA is not a monolith (that would be a single massive whole in case you're missing the analogy), but a collection of people organized into differing roles and responsibilities. The people who make and continue to make this incredibly stupid decision to have eligibility to play at 18U be decided by, oh, what... oh, yeah... AGE... are the same people who actually coaching, etc., the JO game. Yet, it keeps being blamed on the big, bad, ASA. I guess that makes it easier to blame slow pitch instead of their own colleagues in JO fastpitch.

Whether or not it is unfair to have college freshmen playing in the same age division as HS seniors is a question for the JO people to work out for themselves.

Oh, that's right, that is who IS making these decisions.

But it is easier to rail against the faceless ASA.
