Cats Out-Fun Silver Eagle

A wise man once said, “strikeouts are boring.  Besides that, they’re fascist.  Throw some ground balls- it’s more democratic.”  And so it also goes with home runs in slow-pitch softball.  Sure, the image of brutish Brutus lumbering to the plate with his lumber and launching a soft-tossed pitch into orbit is one image of the game, but is it really more interesting or appealing or exciting or fun than the magic of 10 rank amateurs
