Did anyone catch the discussion during last nights game when they were talking about a certain pitcher warming up with a softball? They went on to say that a softball stretches out the fingers more and so on. Then..... they zoomed into the softballs in the bullpen and then joked why they had to use yellow ones. I was watching the game with my 17 yr old daughters (quality time) and they went bizzerk over the comment wondering how those guys could be making so much money pretending they knew so much about the game, and at the same time could not identify a womens softball. I waited for "sports announcers" to clear that up but they went on to some other trival dead space topic and didn't have a clue about the yellow balls.
I'm not the sharpest knive in the drawer and my daughters do not play softball but I knew the difference. Maybe it was crowd I was with but my daughters thought that it was a rip on womens athletics that national baseball announcers could not make the distiction. I had to agree.
but I don't get it.
