Getting the short end of the stick
Yes, I know that softball isn't a "revenue generating" sport, but why should football always get "world class" facilities while softball fields remain in a condition that is on the lower end of "playable?"
There is a story at InsideBayArea.com about how softball and baseball field improvements were cancelled due to funding. Of course, the district decided not to scale back football improvements at all, but decided to completely cut out field improvements. Why say something you can't even come close to doing? I'm sure the softball and baseball players would appreciate even a small improvement, like the playing field being level and much more playable.
Like I said, I know the big interest is football - even I'm a football fan, and I understand that we (softball, girls in general) will probably always get the short end of the stick, but must it be so short that it's more like a splinter than an actual full end of a stick?

I have questions on your recent article on using a batting tee. What type of tee is the best? How do you create the inside , outside pitch with the tee or by moving the batter?
