Thank you. It is obvious you study the game. Keep it up. We all learn on this board.

My problem with your statement was that too many people make statements like that and haven't the slightest idea of what they are talking about.

Yes, the local stuff can be much more recreational than expected or anticipated, but isn't that what the game is supposed to be?

Work the upper levels and you can appreciate the abilities of many an accused "beer-bellied drunk". Meanwhile, I've seen major league ball players swing and miss at three straight 8' softball pitches.

Good luck.
