ITT: A Salt Weapon outs himself as a softball douchebag.

No experience I've had in sports has been as bad as my season in a coed league. So many of the douchebags Dayze is talking about. These dudes acted like every chick out there would immediately blow them after an infield single or some shit. Funny enough, my team won that league and then immediately quit. So I guess that's one definition of "hit it and quit it".

no, not necessarily...

but it is life for a lot of people.

I was pretty good at it for a while when I was 19-23 but finally quit this year because I was tired of the "super teams" with guys who played 5-7 days a week...I don't know how it happened or when, but those guys just made the leagues unbearable to play in.

Which is a good thing, because I golf about 5-7 times per week now and I like golf a HELL OF A LOT better than slow pitch softball.

So as a 29 year old I'm down to bowling and golf. God I'm getting so old.

The guys who wear baseball pants and have like 6 softball bats etc etc etc crack me the **** up.

First off, I never have and never will slide in slow pitch softball. That's gay. It's ****ing slow pitch softball. **** that.

Now, I will dive for balls in the IF or OF because I enjoy making good plays...but I'm certainly not going to take an extra base and slide while doing so. Those people are the gayest of gay.

It's even funnier when the guys who show up all decked out are absolutely terrible...adults with complexes of any variety crack me up.

I'm in a small town it was mostly couples. Most of us knew each other prior.

Try ****ing up a knee, essentially being retired at age 30 from slow pitch softball, rec league basketball etc. Sucks since I've been active playing sports since like age 6 or 7 somewhere in there.

The guy thats terrible but for some reason doesn't know it and thinks he is it. Thats the guy that gets my goat.

Are All Recreational Softball Players Douchebags?
 

The coed leagues are more fun for this reason. Some of those teams full of guys act like they are being scouted.

I haven't played competitive softball in 20 years, but yea....I remember it being alot of over amped guys, who

1. Hated their families, wives kids, etc
2. Lived to drink beer after games
3. Uncle Rico's that "almost made it to the bigs"

Hit the Mall Deli.

Those guys just crack me up. I feel bad for them when they have their girlfriends watching.

I had a scare with my knee in flag football last year...thought I tore some ligaments...never got an MRI and I still feel pain getting into a catcher's position (no homo), but it hasn't really hindered any of my rec basketball or anything like that. I always wondered what I actually did because I went to convenient care the next day because I literally as in more pain than I've ever been in my entire life. I couldn't even put ****ing pants on and my knee swelled up to about three times size.

I think I made a thread about it on this website come to think of it trying to figure out what the **** I did.

In college, played against our school's starting QB who couldn't cut it in the minors. It was the "B" league. Douche team

I play softball on Sundays and some tournaments on Saturday, I just play hard and do my best.

I don't care what the other guys are on the other team. I know my team had the unfortunate luxury of facing some teams that should not be in our league level, but a better league than we are.

I just play for fun, irregardless of the score or who we're playing against. I'm not out to play for attracting attention or that I'm a "failed" baseball person, whatever the term is.

Not going to read all of the posts in this thread, but I will answer OP. The majority of recreational softball players are giant douchebags. I will only play coed leagues now because they are a little more relaxed than men's leagues.
The last men's league game I played in, the other team was destroying us, and decided to pull the ultimate douche move. These guys played in leagues all over the place. They literally had a different city to play in each night. Anyway, they decided to up the douchebaggery and start hitting our pitcher intentionally. Our dude took about 6 shots before the ump interfered.
I don't know if any of you have pitched in softball, but it's terrifying. The speed at which the ball comes off of some of these bats is unreal. I had a guy a month ago put one on me that I managed to catch only because it somehow hit me in the pocket of the glove. I didn't know the ball was on me until it was in my glove.
