Softball is cool. It can be fun. But let's be honest.
This league's welcome is the best short piece of writing about wood bats in the directory, and it earns quoting in full.
Softball is cool. It can be fun. But let's be honest -- nothing feels or sounds quite like a 9-inch round ball being struck squarely with a piece of perfectly-carved lumber. That sound. That feeling. That is why we still play hardball.
Then the introduction: welcome to Delaware Adult Baseball, a wood bat league in Newark, Delaware where those who have a love for the game can still lace up on the weekends, and find both competition and camaraderie. Take a look around -- if you're already in the league you'll find some useful info; if you're new, or are still thinking about getting back into baseball, see what we're about and then drop us a line. Batter up.
Its masthead is three words: we still play hard. The site publishes it under the name The Michael K. Ingram II Adult Baseball League.
Eight clubs carry it. A High Cheese league page keeps the schedule, the standings and every roster at an address the league owns, so writing this good has something current sitting underneath it.
