Any interest this summer in a CSFMB pickup soft/baseball game with a drunken bbq afterwards?

Depending on the day, I'm in.

Though from past experience, organizing a pick up softball game is tremendously harder, as you need a minimum of 16 to make it competitive.

I've played 7 on 7 baseball. Pitcher covers home and right field is foul or out (left field for the lefties). Its not the best, but its better than not playing at all.

Between the CSFMB'ers and a few friends I'm sure we could get 9 on 9. Depending on the location, I know at least 2 or 3 of my friends would play for sure.

Two physically strenous activities in one year? This will probably be good as I can redeem myself after NAS kicks my ass next Sunday.

It would be too close to the special Olympics and therefore not allowed.

I was going to post something along this line for the summer of '09, but I then found this thread. If the Hiawatha event is a success, I will put a 16" softball game together as well for June/July at the same park.

let's put it this way...if you're playing 16" softball, it's likely either baseball isn't your sport or you're tremendously out of shape...you'll be just fine, KC...

I know it's not saying much, but I'm better at 16" softball than I am at basketball.

Mark my words. It will not be six months before the board tests City of Fools like they did John Kennedy. The board is looking. We’re about to kill ourselves in an COF-organized basketball game. Remember I said it posting here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an softball game organization crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - alright, he's gonna need you financially, but he's gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, hmmmmm.....WALTER....gonna put the economy ON HOLLLLDDD...to stand with him.

Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that he's right. Because he usually isn't.

He’s gonna have to make some really tough - I don’t know what the decision’s gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. He might ask Kid Cairo to start posting again or Killer V to stop using sarcasm. He may ask Nas to give up control in the bedroom and stop having kids for a week or two. I don't know what it's gonna be. As a student of this board and having witnessed at least seven CSFMB Hall of Famers, I guarantee you it’s gonna happen.

Gird your loins. Think about it, literally, think about it, this is not gonna be an easy game.
