Which is odd, because a baseball swing is much different than a slow pitch softball swing. It took me a year to adjust out of high school before I became a good slow pitch hitter

There are some real douchey things that happen on the softball field that I have seen.
1. Going in hard at second
2. Lining a pitch back at the pitcher
3. Admiring a homerun
4. Running over the catcher
5 Teams that clearly should be playing at the highest level, playing in the D league.

Main reason I quit playing after playing for about 18 years....

Flatbilled hat = douchebag and most softball guys wannabe flatbilled hat douchebags...

I had a guy that worked for me that actually played professional softball.
I never knew there was such a thing but yeah. He had sponsors out the ass. One of his bats, (that a sponsor bought) was 700 bucks. It was made out of carbon and had some weird core that could actually shatter like glass if it was used incorrectly.
The dude was paid to travel on a team bus to go to tourneys all over the Midwest.
I thought that maybe it was fast pitch but apparently not.
These dudes didn't play on regular softball fields either. They were on regulation baseball diamonds.
Apparently the 'championship' tourney was played on a MLB field and they had tens of fans attend.

Ive done the Kirk Gibson after a walk off HR.

Ive heard roiding isnt optional on some of those teams.

Nope. Not an option... it's mandatory. LMAO

This is the biggest thing that pisses me off about softball.

I've played in two different leagues. In both of them, the commissioner let teams that they knew should be playing in more competitive leagues sign up for the lowest level leagues.

Both teams I played on sucked bad (I'm not great but I was the one of two or three people on both teams who could consistently hit the ball), and I laid into a couple of teams full of "softball guys". We had one game where we were run spread after the 1st inning (had to keep playing until the 3rd) and the team started jacking home runs to talk shit about how shitty our team was and how they needed to do that to give us outs.

I embarrassed the shit out of several of them by asking them if they were proud of the fact that they signed up for the lowest level league and could beat the shit out of a team where most of the people had never played baseball or softball before. The shit talking stopped pretty quickly after that.

Methodists and Lutherans are pretty bad, Church of Chirst are horrible, Presbys are usually decent, as are the Catholics and Evangelicals. The Jews are so horrible they have to have their own league. But the absolute worst are those damn Southern Baptists.

We had two girls on our team that could jack a home run whenever they felt like it. (Like I said, three/four of them played on D1 college teams.) Shit, they all played the infield positions because they fielded better than any of us. It wasn't even remotely fair to the level of the league.

The blue didn't do anything about it?

hell, I hit a pitcher one time in my life, unfortunately the pitcher was a female and I nailed her shoulder. I stopped running to first to check on her and declared myself out on my own. She couldn't finish the game but turned out OK when I checked on her at the following weeks game. The other team was really cool about it.

Of course, this was 22 years ago before the sport really got douchy.

Dude...sliding in shorts? Are you ****ing serious? That makes you a double douche.

Heh, I had two girls on my team back in the day that could hit home runs. Should have seen the look on those idiots faces when they would go yard on them. LMAO

I preferred 1st base. You are involved in a high percentage of plays and you are less likely to get a liner right at your face. heh
