YOU KNOW YOU'RE A SOFTBALL JUNKIE IF... You need a second job just to pay for gloves, bats, equipment, uniforms, player fees, batting cages, etc... Your second job is umpiring at softball games. Your idea of spending quality time with your spouse is playing on the same co-ed team. You have more than one bat that cost over £200. You go to the softball fields on nights your team isn't even playing. You used to rest and relax on the weekends, now the only rest you get is between games at a tournament. You think "wearing something nice" means an all-tournament shirt with no dirt stains. When someone says they are going abroad this weekend. You ask if there is a tournament in Dublin. All your white socks have dirt stains from playing softball. Your idea of a weekend getaway is a two-day tournament in Leeds. You have a tattoo that says softball forever. You plan your vacation each year to the Softball World Series. You own more softball t-shirts than pairs of underwear. Your girlfriend / boyfriend knows when you ask them out to dinner you really mean pizza after the game. You tape your bat handles with various designs and use only tape with team colours or that match your bat colours. You have a softball website.
