I would suggest you get to OKC and spend some time there and form your own opinion. Don't take the "coaches and other umpires" word for it.

I have had the pleasure of calling on Field 1 at HOF Stadium on several occassions. There isn't anything like umpiring on that field. The hair on your neck stands up when you walk out there and you look around and think about the people who have played and umpired there before.

This, the 18 Gold, will probably be the only time most of those girls get the chance to play on that field.

Personally, I can't think of a better place, with that much history, to play the 18 Gold.

If they can't take the heat of Oklahoma in August, they don't need to be playing softball!

My opinion doesnt mean squat and if you could read at all, you would see I was repeating the claims of coaches. I would LOVE to call in the stadium and it fact its my goal to do so.

These teams, including the current 18G champs, will NOT be in OKC next year and do not agree with your glowing assessment. More are surely to be announced.

As to your statement about "they shouldnt be playing softball" - they will be, just not in OKC.

Hopefully, and I'm sure, the voting body does not ALL have the same opinion you do.

Read the names a couple of times if you need too, becuase thats a whos who of gold.

And Holloway, this game isnt about you and the hairs on your neck. its about the players on those teams. You just call.
