When I signed up to play in this summer league, I didn't know two things:

One, that it would be over 100 by early June this year. Usually that doesn't happen until August, when all outdoor activity stops down here.
Two, that the early games were at 6:30, when it's still scorchingly hot and the sun is high in the sky.

In conclusion, we need a retractable roof, air conditioned softball field. Donations are now accepted.

Here's a Czech to help you out.

That did help. Thank you.

I quit softball a few years ago for this reason.

I have one word for you: golf.

This is heresy. I....I just...I...it's heresy.

Wear a hat, bring lots of water. Don't give up and start playing an inferior game.

Golf is just as bad during the summer unless you get out there at 6 am.

I only play during the fall/winter/spring. I don't have the desire to put up with Alabama heat and humidity for 18 holes during the summer unless people are dragging me to a nice course.

That is a pretty thin czeck......

Softball is meant to be played in hot weather. 102 beats the $*%3*t out of 47 degrees with a stiff breeze and some drizzle.

What's the problem?

Besides, it's an excuse to drink beer!

Final report:

I was 2 for 3 with 2 RBI and 3 for 3 in catching the liners and popups hit to me in left field. We lost 15-8, which is not bad considering we had to have two girls play because we only had 8 dudes show up. I drank 3 beers and thought about dying, but didn't.

Yes, we're a sad team.

You had two girls play in an all mens league?
