Peculiar post, but one I think would be interesting to gather information from. If one were to think of some of the guiding ("unwritten") rules of the game of softball, what might they be? The "10 Commandments of Softball" as it were. These are things that you shouldn't have to be told in order to understand the intangibles surrounding the game - but are good things to know/remember. This is my (current) list, but I'm interested in others' ideas. These are in no particular order (except #10):
1.) Thou shalt not look at strike three. Ever.
2.) Honor thy umpires and their calls, right or wrong.
3.) Support thy teammates as you would have thy teammates support you.
4.) Remember the practice/game day, to keep it holy.
5.) Thou shalt covet thy opponents' bases.
6.) Honor thy commitment to team and game.
7.) Thou shalt not swing on a 3-0 count.
8.) Respect thy opponents, but fear them not, for victory is yours.
9.) Sin not against the names on thy uniform.
*10.) Have fun and enjoy the game always.
DISCLAIMER: This is meant to be as satirical as it is serious - it is in no way meant to be seen as blasphemous or offensive toward any religious community. I would like to use the top 10 I come up with as part of a t-shirt fundraiser for my 16U team this coming summer!
