Good stuff.

Do you fields have fences or are they open?

[CalvinH]

Good stuff.

Do you fields have fences or are they open?

Fences or 1 would have been a hr.I only hit hrs by accident,I'm a line drive hitter and the fences are 15 feet high.


.....can't tell you how many times a season I hit the fence without it going over

I run into the same problem on fenced fields.  Our fences are anywhere from 280 in left to 310 in right center.  The fence is 10 ft high, with golf-range-style nets above.  The HR line is 25 feet up.  I hit the fence due to line drive type stuff, but I've yet to put one over in 3 years.

On open fields, those line drives are home runs.

Another good night either 4-5 or 5-5 depending how it was scored.

A lot of big hitters have switched to the 26s.  It's all about batspeed.

Good job, dude.

Idiots that take the game to serious were loading their bats

[Grape Ape]

Scum of the earth, IMO.

You can literally kill a pitcher if you do that.

Didnt even think of that. Makes sense now.

How did you guys do

[CalvinH]

Anybody live in Brooklyn I saw they have a coed league for singles.
they put you on a team and make sure it's guy-girl.the rosters fill up quick it looks like.
there is also a bar across the street from the field that gives cheap prices on pitchers of beer!

[CalvinH]

I think a combo of both.

I'd imagine it would be a nice place to show up drunk to and not give a f.

And hit on the cute chicks.

[2ND COMING]

And hit on the cute chicks.

I would be in full dbag mode. Swinging for the fences, smacking broads asses, talking trash to my out of shape teamates. It would be gold.

[Grape Ape]

How did you guys do

Rained out.

And rained out again tonight.   

[CalvinH]

7:00 tonight if we are not rained out or the field is under water.
