As for locations, here is a list of Seattle city parks with softball fields. Cal Anderson is nice but there are often league/SU games on Sundays.

I don’t really care where it is since I can drive, but it might be best to play somewhere contral and close to major buslines.

Just keep us all updated

Go there, I’m lazy.

This’ll be the first LL Softball I’ll have been able to attend, so I’m really looking forward to it

I also think (sorry Eric!) that katal is a better low end of the spectrum of athletic ability.

Dammit for not being old enough to own a car and drive.

Also any one have a spare glove I kinda… misplaced mine after baseball season.

Haven’t played ball in a couple of years but I used to be pretty not-terrible.

Would have been fun.

But in all seriousness, I am pumped. I am sure it will be a good turnout since Jeff is the one arranging this.

I fear hatred if I am on a team. Instead, I offer to make much food for all and fill the important role of “bleacher seat warmer”.

Never made it to one of these before, but count me in.

Not. I might go, depending on work. These will be much easier to attend when I’m going to school in Seattle and not living in the suburbs.

Also, I may suck.

Of course, I have a baseball swing now, not a softball swing, but what the hell.

WingMasters in Ballard plays all the Mariners games, as far as I know. I don’t know if there is a park near there, but they do play the games, there’s a full bar, etc. It’s my understanding that softball is always better with beer….

If I manage to make it, however, I’m just going to watch. I bat negative Mendoza. You could give me a plank and pitch a beach ball at me, and I’d still strike out; think Richie Sexson with boobs.

I’ll bring the tonic!

In the words of the great Michael Jackson…I’ll be there!

we should consider whether or not the field has an OF fence. Being able to hit it over the fence was one of the more fun parts about playing at Seattle U last year, but Bobby Morris playfield has no fence, and I’m pretty sure Judkins doesn’t have one up either.

If not, I’ll still come because I want to see Jeff hit a dinger.

This should be a great turnout!

Do you reserve a field, or do you trust to fate and hope for a nearby bar?

for toting of chairs, etc.

However, I don’t want to be Branyan-shifted on, because I can and will go oppo on you fuckers. And second…

I can be the offical photographer.

If I am able to make it, I would also be taking pictures (most likely) and they would also most likely wind up on my blog – at least some of them might, it does involve baseball-ish things and is somewhat Mariners-esque. If anyone seriously objects to that, my email is in my profile, and please let me know. I have no wish to alienate anyone.

Also, are there going to be team names, or is it taken quite that seriously?

if I’m still in town.

and come to one of these.

I think it should be after the M’s game ends…I don’t really care where we play. I can drive pretty much anywhere

Our schedule is rotating again a week before this, so depending on how it ends up, I may or may not be able to go to this.

and I noticed that there were construction offices on the site where the parking is for the softball field. I’m not sure the softball field there is playable currently because of it.

Anyone nearby there willing to give the area a second look to confirm/deny?

I’ll probably be up in early December. Maybe I can catch a few of you then.

We’re all going to meet up at 12pm/1pm at _______ park in Seattle on August 9th.
