In response to "And with our fields, you couldn't pay me to play SS/3B in slo-pitch." by Will Hunting

If I ever got stuck playing 3B for softball, my feet would be in the grass, I would be playing that deep.

There's some big dudes playing softball and they swing for the moon every time.

My dad played in our league at 55yrs old. Third base, even or inside the bag. All dirt infield. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:36 11
- Yeah, no way. -- nm - Shaun Apr 5, 10:37 10
  - if you catch it, it is not a problem. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 10:37 9
    - Exactly. Get some reflexes, people. 😉 -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 10:58
    - I'd rather give myself a little extra time to be able to make that decision. - Shaun Apr 5, 10:40 7
      - I played 3B when former major leaguer Wes Chamberlain was batting. - groiny Apr 5, 10:44 6
        
        And that's why I play on the grass for righties. I'd rather give up an infield single than needing to make a 0.5s decision when I have 0.46s. - Shaun Apr 5, 10:46 5
        
        I dunno, it never really occurred to me..... - groiny Apr 5, 10:48 4
        
        Oh, it's a special mindset for sure. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:49 3
        
        I have seen my share of bad fields causing some real damage. - groiny Apr 5, 10:51 2
        
        I'd turn Spanish so quick.... ole, ole, ole! -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:52 1
        
        towards the end of my playing, when they eliminated Aluminum bats, it was like slow motion. - groiny Apr 5, 10:53
