N.O.B.

This used to be their playground...

As of this typing (5:27 in the p.m., The Lord's Time) we are now exactly 48 hours and three minutes from the first pitch of the 2022 Men's AAA 50+ Senior Slowly-Pitched Softball Season.
C’mon, man. It doesn’t get any more blatant than that. I mean it’s right there in plain sight...right above your very own post...Mr. Catpaws himself time stamped that very post at 6:27 in the pm.

Its not like we’re recklessly demanding that you abandon all logic and switch over to the metric system on a whim. Or that you do something absurd like going rogue & reverting back to using the Dewey Decimal System. All we ask is for you to take the very basic, fundamental step of joining the rest of the civilized world in recognizing the one and only true time zone for what it is...correct.

Help us to help you, mav. We’re here for you, brother. Admitting that you have a problem is the first step. You got this!!!!

You got your socks and stirrups picked out or is that a game day decision?
I’ve got a primary for each day (play on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) that coordinates with that day’s knicker color scheme, along with a secondary and tertiary for each day as well. IMHO, a quaternary option would be superfluous and borderline psychotic.

It’ll definitely be a game day decision for each — and often it’s made in the dugout immediately before the game — depending on a variety of not-so-easily-definable factors, the main one of which is “feel.” This is why I like to refer to my preparation as “both the art and science of slowly-pitched softball.

I like it. The stirrup/sock choice combined with the bold patchwork assembly on the bag pretty much demands that you play well...else you look foolish. Takes the John Wooden mantra of “look good, play good” to a whole new level.

That’s a pretty badass approach in my professional opinion.

58. Tom Hanks
59. All of the extras
60. Rosie O'Donnell

My main objection on this list is you included Rosie O'Donnell? I think I speak for most of NOBers and ask why? I hope this was an error. She should not be any list.
 
How do you sleep at night knowing that FOUR of the patches are overlapping onto the piping of the bag??????

Oh sure it bothers me (Zoloft helps), but I generally abide by the rule patches before piping (similar to bros before hoes) -- especially when it involves Macho Man, Kobra Kai, the Major League mascot, and of course my beloved AR-15.

Funk’s biggest mistake was not putting Janet Jones at the top of that list. Sure, she only played a bit part as an opposing team’s pitcher...but she was hotter than everyone else on that list combined.

Without my reading glasses, I'm having a tough time telling Ackroyd and O'Donnell apart, tbh.
 
It’s weird, but when I was checking in yesterday, a bus load of gorgeous blonde Swedish bikini models pulled up beside my car and asked if I knew of any Men’s AAA 50+ senior slowly-pitched softball players in town alone who’d be interested in oiling them up for a photo shoot later tonight. I told them they were in luck because there was a whole bunch of guys at the park and gave them directions.
 
Dang, Mav, AAA professional softball crusher? I thought you were just playing around…which is silly, because one glance at your bat bag shows you are definitely not playing around.

Anyway, hope you’re up early crushing raw eggs and D-Bal because zero dingers ain’t gonna cut it today.

Go be a champion.
 
For today’s festivities, I’ve chosen standard grey knicks accented with red piping, blue belt, with standard white sanitaries and 7” striped stirrups changing from blue to red with matching red shoes…

Here’s a view of the hotel parking lot…

Evidently there’s a geek convention somewhere nearby.
Or maybe it’s just that a crime has been committed at that hotel & Batman has the day off. My guess is that it was Spider-Man’s turn to fill in and when he showed up to the hotel the police scanner said that the “GOAT was at the scene”...Shaggy was high & thought they said “ghost at scene”.
