And if Maryland were North of the Mason-Dixon Line, that would be a noteworthy post Maybe you and Michael need to get a map and figure out where the line is. I think there was a slight tremor in Northern Va when Michael posted. It was the members of the CSA spinning in their grave!!!

I've lived in NoVA for the last 15 years or so, and I always find it humorous that this is considered the South, the MDL notwithstanding. It's only been very recently, thanks mostly to McDonald's, that you can find sweet tea on a restaurant menu. And I STILL can't find a Bojangles or Waffle House around here.

In upstate NY there are tournaments every weekend, and a local league has "Fall Ball" on Sunday. The Adirondack Sports Complex is full with a waiting list for Tournaments all Winter.

What does lousy food have to do with North/South?

Then again, metropolitan and surrounding areas like the district and Atlanta don't really count due to all the carpetbaggers that moved there

Because the state of NOVA (Fairfax, Arlington and now Loudoun counties) is not the South; ROVA (the "Rest of VA" as they say) is the South. Just point your car west on 66 and there is plenty of sweet tea. When speaking of my upbringing, I say "I'm from Northern VA . . . the green side."

And as to answer the OP, Fall ball this weekend and next weekend.

Well, you certainly qualify as North of the Mason-Dixon Line

Well, if we are going to be too anal for a common figure of speech, those from England, Michigan and Minnesota are not north of the MDL either, because it does not extend that far.

I guess we will have to settle for 37 degrees N. Is that ok with ASA/NYSSOBLUE and MichaelVA2000 ?

MTD, Jr., and I have been umpiring Roy Hobb's Baseball every Sunday all through September and October (this past Sunday's game was rained out) and we umpired a girls' 18U FP softball tournament this past Saturday, and will probably umpire in another girls' 18U FP softball tournament this coming weekend.

MTD, Sr.

I'm heading south!!!

Clearwater this weekend, Sterling next.

I'll probably have the first weekend of November off, but I have a showcase in PA second week of November.

Then dome ball.
