Georgia's state association approved bringing back slow pitch as a state championship sport starting next spring. Fastpitch is played in the fall.
Didn't think I'd ever see that. They abolished it in 2009 when they got down to about 20 teams. What I like about it is the fact that it's a sport that you don't have to play year-around to make. I think there's a need for that at some of these great big schools where you have to be an aspiring pro to actually to get to play varsity sports.
I wonder if it also will persuade some schools that have no real fast-pitch pitchers to skip fastpitch and just play slow pitch.
Makes me wonder how many states have slow pitch now.
