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.

When third basemen and pitchers start wearing helmets with facemasks something's gotta be done.

I'm amazed pitchers aren't tossing from behind an L-screen.
