Just got a letter from DD's catching coach

Oh my goodness! My point was to show that pro softball players in Japan are required to do the maintenance for team equipment.

After reading some of these posts I now believe this old joke is actually more true than a joke: The reason girls don't have to wear protective cups is because their brains are in their heads.

Wait, people actually clean softballs?

We have practice balls and we have game balls. And the game balls do NOT get used outside of games. Ever. (my coach went off at me for using it at pitching training) We get six a year. After that we pay.

Is anyone else following this thread, excercising good judgement, but ROFLMAO'ing at what they want to post?

PS Maybe we need to have a "caption" contest for the photo in the OG post? I offer "I hate dirty balls"

Our girls clean their bats after every game. Dirt can effect how the ball comes off the bat.

A friend worked for a construction company that washed and waxed their earthmoving machinery.
Very little has surprised me in the world of OCD since then.
