Don't forget the sunscreen and a bunch of undershirts. Also, the sunglasses. If the NCAA's are any indication, there must be a real bright light in CF

But, seriously, you will need them if you have any early evening games on 1B.

Thanks. Worked there in 2008 for a HOF Qualifier, so I'm aware of what the sun can do, and how the lack of wind bakes you like an oven.

Worked this national tournament two years ago. Only had six teams and two of them were "local" teams put together just for the tournament.

Most of the players in this tournament have been playing for a long time and while they are still competitive, there didn't seem to be the major attitude problems you might see in Men's ball.

Yeah, they still griped about calls they didn't like, but they said what they had to say and let it go. I had a blast with this tourney.

Ha ha ... don't I wish I was going to be on the crew. It's 300 miles from here to OKC, much farther to the national school, so provided the beer truck doesn't hit me ... I might ... just maybe ... go to OKC. Maybe I could volunteer to be assistant umpire coordinator lol

That's only because at that age, they were no longer limber enough to take that big stride out of the BB so you can call them out

My first national was the Men's Masters 45 & over FP about 10 years ago.

As I was walking into the complex about 6:30 am, one of the players was stretching to get ready for the early game, I asked him..."how do you get loose this early in the morning?"

His response....."Three Advils and Two Bud Lights"
