Are All Recreational Softball Players Douchebags?

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

This is the softball I remember and it was about same for me when I last played. Heck we did it for fun our work sponsored the team. We would work all day out in hot sun with the ticks and ivy sweating. Get back in the office end of day change into playing duds spray a lot of right guard on to cover the stench. Play the game and quaff a few beers after and head home. It was fun and kept us out trouble. This assclown stuff must have happened later in the sport.

As for the OP not trying to be an ass here but really you and 7 other guys road bikes up and played in boots leathers and all. Then you speak about douches in ball player uni's.
Seems like you guys did sorta the same thing.

I have rode bikes all my life mini bikes, trail bikes, motocross and road bikes. I learned that saddle bags and tie downs can haul most anything you need for a day ride. You couldn't have slipped a glove, tenny runners, shorts and kinda fit in? I never felt I had to look like what I wasn't and I wasnt in a MC. I ride for pleasure not for colors.

The guy we were playing for was a riding buddy of ours with whom we've logged hundreds of miles with (no homo). seemed only fitting to ride down there and play. Not nearly the same IMO.

have you seen Dayze's 72? lol...zero room for anything, tied down or otherwise. and Dayze doesn't own a glove. and playing in shorts and tennis shoes isn't going to make me play any better. I'm shit regardless . no leathers etc, just jeans, t-shirt, and boots.

well they better hope they aren't using a shaved bat...because if you hit a pitcher and he gets hurt/seriously hurt...the umpire confiscates said bat and if the bat was tampered with in any way it becomes assault with a deadly weapon.

and I know 80% of the teams in my area used shaved bats...

It doesn't look like our coed team will be playing this year. It is fun, but as someone mentioned, the girls are what make the difference. I don't need to go out and win every game or anything, but most of girls were so bad it took away the enjoyment.

They couldn't field or hit so the other team just scores like crazy so we would get run ruled. And if we didn't get run ruled, you still don't get many at bats because the girls were almost automatic outs. It gets to the point were you are so uncompetitive that it is no longer even that fun.

Sounds like none of the girls were attractive

I feel bad for the girls in coed leagues...

there should be a line that the OF's cannot play in front of in coed leagues...

most girls have to face 10 man IF's when they hit...because even the best girls can only hit it 200 feet max and that's if they really get into the ball.

Our co-ed league has an encroachment line in the outfield. Can't remember the distance off the top of my head 120' or 150' something around there. All outfielders have to remain past it before the ball is hit with a girl at bat.

Awesome!

That's how it should be.

Also not allowed to touch home in co-ed, and there's a commitment line about 2/3 between 3rd and home, once you pass it you can't go back to third. Supposed to reduce injuries to the catcher.

You are being generous, college softball players can barely hit 200ft.

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.

I've seen many females jack homeruns myself, I've seen women hit farther than I can.

, I've been asked a few times to wear a wig and sports bra with implants and play on a woman's team for an out of area tourney. Never had the balls to do it, but it could be fun.
