When I read the linked post I assumed it was from someone from another country here for a tournament, until I saw the part about wanting more players to try out. SMH

It's ok.. there is a college team that totally misspells their team name and have made up some BS to cover the fact ('locals spell it that way' I believe is their current justification which is actually not true.

I'll give you a clue for this one:
Spell the word you would use to describe a breed of 'race horse' or sometimes any kind of 'purebred' horse.

The word has a somewhat unusual spelling for USA English, but because of the base words, there is only one acceptable way to spell it... which the college doesn't use.


... and no I won't post my local example. People locally know who I am on this board even if most of them are just lurkers and I am not burning any bridges unnecessarily

One of the funnest things I have seen in awhile was a psycho softball dad starting a new 12U team and he posted an ad on our local message board looking for a pitcher and in the ad he stated "must throw 55 MPH or faster".....as if 55+ MPH 12U pitchers grow on trees! LOL

And you know there was some crazy pitcher's parent that took a mid 40's pitcher over to them swearing she throws close to 60. Match made in heaven.

We had a 10U coach try to pawn a pitcher off on us this past fall. He said he had too many pitchers. She was going to be his number 4 and he felt bad that she wasn't going to get any circle time. When asked how she threw he said she threw 52MPH, had 5 pitches and threw strikes. REALLY, and she's your number 4?.

Anybody out there that would get rid of a pitcher with these creds in the 10U division? You can probably figure out how this tryout went.
