I hope they let you call at Botetourt. That field is softball heaven. Took my breath away when I first saw it.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

The mountains rise up and look like they're almost within your reach, and the parking lot around the complex is set below the fields so you don't see any cars.

An absolutely beautiful and perfectly-maintained complex.

Waxing philisophically, it is not what you bring to Nationals that counts, it is what you bring back.

If you are going to Chattanooga, you may want to bring extra uniforms and some No-Doz

Ron Ronaganda just announced during a press box interview today that he was just told there will be at least 172 teams at the 16Us.

That is a pretty decent size tournament for a National.

At least 172 teams? That's awesome! Wish I could be there to watch...

Softball, softball, all around you!

Baby rash ointment used from from day/game 1 is the best IMO. As for the national the best thing I found to bring was a map to the local fluff and fold.
