| Feb. 12, 2013 . 22 posts | WORST OUTFIELDER-In Your Opinion At the risk of getting stepped on, I think most people don't enjoy the best of discussions, and would rather enjoy the worst of discussions. Here is one for worst outfielder. Still a couple months before most of our northern guys get going on our season. |
| Feb. 12, 2013 softballnuts 81 posts | No doubt, Buck Dropsalot will top the list. |

| Feb. 12, 2013 glovedad 31 posts | Jimmy "Mine-Mine-Yours" should be in the running. |
| Feb. 12, 2013 0 70 posts | glovedad I think I played with Jimmy a few years ago! |
| Feb. 12, 2013 softball4b Men's 70 1248 posts | There have been a couple outfielders I have played with that the wives named One Hop and 50/50. |
| Feb. 12, 2013 glovedad 31 posts | I told Jimmy that if he called it, he had to take it. He thought I was being a little uptight. It cramped his style he said. |
| Feb. 12, 2013 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | Donnie Didn't-know-he-had-a-Miken tops my list (hard to fault him, some say, because how can you read a label from center field?). Never mind that when Mikens were new, the catcher bellowed out for every batter using the new technology. Luckily, Donnie was a pretty fast runner when hits went over his head, so usually the batter only got a triple out of it. |
| Feb. 12, 2013 glovedad 31 posts | Chain link Charlie, parked at 299.99' from home plate was another Hall of Famer. Nobody burned Chain link Charlie and he held most singles to a double or triple. |
| Feb. 12, 2013 0 70 posts | The outfielder that could easily win this award has a name that is French or Middle Eastern or maybe a combination of both. He's totally useless in the outfield. I'm not sure of the correct spelling of his name, but I think it's Ishudda Haddit. This guy is the WORST! |
| Feb. 12, 2013 glovedad 31 posts | excellent names, I think we have an all star team. |
| Feb. 12, 2013 Olden Slow Men's 75 209 posts | Co-ed team had Willy Makeit in Lf flanked by Betty Wont...always a comunication issue... |
| Feb. 12, 2013 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow One step forward and it's back to go You're standing on the throttle You're standing on the breaks In the groove 'til you make a mistake Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going to lose it all You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad Because you're gonna know lonely And you're gonna know bad When you're rippin' and a ridin' And you're coming on strong You start slippin' and slidin' And it all goes wrong......... |

| Feb. 13, 2013 glovedad 31 posts | I know this poem is long, hopefully it is ok for the board. I wrote it awhile back and this thred reminded me of it, so here it is. OUTFIELDER’S LAMENT Oh dear…!!! My fault My bad That was a ball I maybe shoulda’… Kinda coulda’… Probably woulda’ …had. If only….well…you know….. We had a lot Of rain today. I did not think We would even play. My team was short And I was late. There was a batter At the plate I will not make An excuse. But I had no time To get loose. Where I was standing Was soaking wet And our pitcher pitched Before I was set The outfield grass Had not been cut. I nearly fell On my you-know-what. \ I am not sure Where this fits in. But our shortstop did Move me in. That ball was by me In nothing flat He must have used An illegal bat There was a crosswind blowing So there was no way Of anyone knowing Where the heck the ball was going. When I reached The warning track. I think I tweaked My lower back. I know I heard Someone shout. “There’s the fence, So watch out.” I cannot tell You a lie. I think the sun Got in my eye. I also had To turn and run And I lost the ball In the sun. It was bouncing Up and down. And somehow I Got turned around. There were no clouds And the sky was high I pulled a muscle In my thigh I am not trying To beat the rap But that ball was hit Right in the gap. And I heard Willie Say-Hey I got it. Else I’m sure I Woulda’ caught it. I know there is No I in me. What matters most Is team chemistry. So never make An alibi Is the motto I live by. Oh, the wind, and the rain And the warning track The sun, the sky And my sore ole’ back. Our pitcher, our shortstop And my outfield mate The fence, the grass And me getting there late Were it not for a few Little things like this That’s a ball I’d never miss. |

| Feb. 13, 2013 TOMAR77 Men's 65 332 posts | Every outfielder should have this Poem in their one back pocket. Then they can,say "I GOT IT"! Tomar77 |
| Feb. 13, 2013 glovedad 31 posts | Glad you enjoyed the poem. Thanks |
| Feb. 14, 2013 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Years ago, our LCfielder was running hard toward the fence, looking back for the ball and our RCfielder yelled "plenty of room" just before the LCfielder's forehead connected with the top crossbar of the fence. Knocked him out. For the rest of the year, whenever a fly ball was hit, the entire team yelled "plenty of room"! |
| Feb. 14, 2013 Snot Nose Kid 67 posts | How about all those guys that always seem to be rolling on the ground way too many times going after fly balls. |
| Feb. 21, 2013 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | I agree with glovedad...fence hugger is way too prevalent esp in senior softball..it cost us both money games last tournament..there are more doubles in front of people then over their heads..and most seniors will only get 2 if they beat someone anyhow..so get some courage and play up a little and steal some hits |
