Punk rock softball anyone?

I was thinking the other day about my childhood running around baseball diamonds at night when my dad would play in his fastpitch softball leagues and playing around with the other kids, riding around on my bike and shit. Going to the concession stand and getting all types of junk and I was thinking about how fun it would be for my kid to have that as he's growing up.

Then I got to thinking about how fun it would be to be on a team that is a bunch of "misfits" and punks skins and hardcore kids. Tattooed freaks having a rowdy time with all these jock type dudes. And to hell with playing good or anything like that.

Then I got to thinking about how funny it would be to have the bleachers filled with punk rocker wives and kids and friends doing cheers based on punk songs and stuff. Like a team called "138" and you get folks to sing the song. That shit would throw the "normals" for a loop.

But how the hell do you go about getting a new team put into a league or how would you start a league of all punks, skins and hardcore kids? The younger generation seems to be into kickball, but fuck that schoolyard shit... softball is where it's at, fuckin' with the jocks and their good time. Hahaha.

I am down. I am a big softball player. I also played for my college for a short time .

i try and coach kids in baseball, but i am seriously the worst at every sport except maybe kickball.

Doesn't matter though dude, it's punk! We can suck and just generally piss off all the un-punk types. That would be the best part in my opinion.

a bunch of us played 'hardcore volleyball' when we were in highschool.
just a bunch of skaters and hardcore kids we knew from the area, which was not many back then, but enough for two teams.
it was pretty sloppy, and thus there was a fair amount of blood, but it was always fun.
and of course all of the lady friends would be hanging out.
good times.

as for softball...
i played on a team in new york for two or three years.
we were sponsored by Mezco, the toy company.
dope jerseys and hats.
anyway, i was pretty much there for the post-game drinking.
it started getting more serious, and when dudes started showing up in the stretchy pants and face paint, i knew it was time to bounce. those fuckers NEVER wanted to go out after a game!

JawnDiablo - 5-1-2007 at 12:05 PM

it sounds cool.
the more i think about it, the cooler it sounds.
surprised it hadn't been brought up sooner.

BDx13 - 5-1-2007 at 12:10 PM

a bunch of guys in philly did this a few years back now that i think of it. the guys from sugar daddie, bl13 and a few other people, i think.

JawnDiablo - 5-1-2007 at 12:24 PM

oh man i know a few dudes i know were doing that.
a friend of mine was in this goofy band jamacian equation that used to play out with those guys.
he has tons of odd tales to tell

DaveMoral - 5-1-2007 at 04:33 PM

we should do it.

tireironsaint - 5-1-2007 at 06:20 PM

I'd love to do this sort of thing. Too bad us Thorpsters are scattered across the country (and beyond), we'd make an awesome team.

This reminds me of when I took bowling for a P.E. credit in High School. It was me and a few of the Punk Rock kids along with some rednecks. It was fucking hilarious. At the time I was still a raging drunk and my best friend and I would drink before school started. Since Bowling was our first class of the day, we were usually good and buzzed by the time we walked across the street to the bowling alley. My friend even got kicked outta school on the way over there one day for "urinating on the new Fine Arts Facility".

I'd love to do it, I just got no idea how to make it happen.

BDx13 - 5-1-2007 at 09:48 PM
