The Perils of Slo-Pitch Softball

Filed under: Imported

Washington City Paper's Dave McKenna is one of the finest sports columnists in the country. McKenna fills in the cracks that the daily sports pages miss: duckpin bowling, black punters, white HoyasPat Robertson's racehorses.

This week, in the wake of Sammy's corked bat, McKenna unravels The Great Slo-Pitch Softball Bat Scandal of 2002. Here's a snippet:

The brouhaha broke after an investigation by the Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA), which is the nation's largest sanctioning body for slo-pitch, with affiliates in every state and the District of Columbia. For years, the ASA had been hearing that, because of advances in bat technology, recreational softball players were walking into batter's boxes with implements more lethal than anything the coalition of the willing has yet found in Baghdad.
