Softball: Pattaya Allstars Vs Uss Blue Ridge "hitmen"


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hey, hey hey ... I've been wondering for quite some time now what the level of competition is in softball down there in good old Pattaya, and I just heard that one of the teams from here in Yokosuka payed ya'll a visit and put a 15-1 whoopin' on a team composed of Pattaya All-Stars. Anybody know if that's true ?

They're one of the Top 3 teams from here in Yokosuka, Japan at the intramural level the last few years so this was news I could use ... I'll be bringing me gloves and bats with me next year and looking forward to some games.

Anybody need a decent pitcher ? :o

would the fact that the average age of those surface skimmers being at least 30 years younger have anything to do with the score?

:D

Well, that and the fact the "All Stars" probably had to take a rest break between each base, and a "pit-stop" at each base.

Then there is the problem with trying to run the bases while not spilling your pitcher(s) of Chang, having to move your pitchers off the bases when the other team is at bat, having to make repeated trips to the dug-out to refill those pitchers and so on and so on. :D

I wonder if there are enough ball players here to make up a TV team ? They did it for the soccer guys, though full-contact darts is probably a better bet. :o

well you heard right. Though it wasnt exactly an All Star team from Pattaya as several players were missing because of injury or other reasons.

Hitmen indeed seem to be having a pretty good team together.

Do you guys play regularly in Pattaya ?

Thanks Dirk and all. Yeah, the Hitmen are mostly young bucks. And they win most of the league and tourney titles up here. But overall they're not the best team with the best overall record the past three years. That would be a team of "Suppliers" composed of mostly 35-45 year olds.

I'll be moving in country within the next 365 days ... yet to be determined.

apparently their slack workload permits many hours of practice, fielding and hitting.... :D:o

Who needs practice to play softball ?

Are you kidding me?... Most SK's would need to practice on which base to run to when they get a hit... although they will likely have the location of the sideline food providers down pat... :D:D

...more good-natured Naval ribbing... :o

Dude ... when you hit home runs you can just walk around the bases leisurely with nachos in one hand and a chang beer in the other ! :o

would still be advisable to put the salsa at every base so they sure dont miss one.

I should add that most people who know me can vouch that I'm firmly on the right. But I'm here to tell you that I can hit'em deep from the left as well. :o Honest folks ... softball is for people who love comraderie ... cheers :D I'll see you all on the diamond next year.

Dont worry about hitting it deep if you hit it 250Ft you will be one of the bigger hitters around down here lol.
