Is slow pitch dying?

[Del-Blue]

Slow pitch here in Delaware is very much on the decline. When I played 15 years ago, there were over 300 teams in this small state. The last coulple of years it has dwindled to around 100. Mike You know the numbers!!!

I think that the younger people comming into the work place are more interested in their career, than recreaction outside the job.

We used to have three industrial league teams and one womens team where I work, all made up of the people that work at my site. We also had an intramurial league which had 20 teams. Now we have one mens team, and they don't all work for the same company. The people here are getting older and the young professionals comming to work here are more interested in their career.

We used to have an association with well over 150 umpires, now I think we register about 60.
