what ever happened to slamball?
482297
Slamball severed its tie with Spike TV in 2003-2004 because of poor coverage, but it it still on today and is especially popular in Europe, it is covered by different sports stations, like ESPN but really has no major affiliation.

There isn't that large of a fan base for the pros.  We used to go to the games and virtually no one was there in the stands.  I think that they should have left softball in the olympics.  Softball has always been a hot topic of the olympics.  Since I have graduated from college, I had to hang up my glove.  Damn, it hurt so bad.  Now all I have to look forward to is the NCAA championships to watch each May.  I tried coaching varsity high school softball, but the girls didn't have the heart that I had for the sport and it was just too frustrating.  The problem is that people like watching men play sports more so than women.  What's sad is that I have to listen to my boyfriend say that MLB is much harder than Fastpitch softball.  It really pisses me off.  I think that ESPN has noticed that they get great ratings during NCAA championships, so now they might play the National games.  I have a couple of friends that played pro in Akron, but they didn't get paid good and the fan base was not great.

The dopes in the the American League were losing audience and interest to the then superior National League. So, in the Fall of 1972, they introduced the HORRID (see where I am coming from?) designated hitter rule, making the pitcher not be a part of the line up and having soemone who wouldn't have the skills to otherwise play on a regular basis (trust me on this, AL apologists be damned) become this so called 'DH'.\n\nIt debuted as an experiment in 1973 with Ron Bloomberg of the Yankees being the first to take his hacks in this new way.  The experiment gave way to the hysterical permanance of the rule in 1975.\n\nThe World Series was played under several different scenarios over the years.  In 1973-1974, there was no DH, and from 1975-1986, there was alternating years, either all DH or no DH...note that in 1976 the 'Big Red Machine' CIncinnati Reds used the same line up for all games of the WS, the only time it has (or will happen).\n\nUntill the Players Association (jerks that they are) and dopey American League Fans (jerks that they are, too) get on board and see the value of having the pitcher hit again, we will be stuck with two different sets of rules....\n\nDon't get me started with interleague play!

there is one by my house but it isn't called extra innings, it's okay because unlike at a park, you can actually find 20-30 guys and play a game but it's indoors which really sucks. think of you playing basketball in your kitchen with the trash can, it gets that exciting.

Yeah he came to my high school. We didnt have a Vball team, so we put one together to play him, I was the only one on the team that played. Im pretty sure he beat us but it was close. It was a long time ago, I cant remember now. \n\nI would actually like to play him now and destroy him, haha.

I know that Yulan Govinder was the Captain of the 2004 World Team Championships. I couldn't find any information for the years 2001-2003.

Yes, the slam dunk was eliminated fromt he NCAA for about 10 years.  Guys would elevate over the rim, but just have to drop the ball down.  it was a slightly different game back then, with more of a premium on moving the ball and outside shooting (but there was no 3-point shot then, either.)\n\nI am happy that they brought the dunk bank to college hoops, but I would like to see more players be able to play the complete game as well.

I don't think so. At least I haven't heard of one. Jarts is illegal in Michigan but it's the best game to play in the summer.

Yaa those balls are terrible to hit. Yaa Miken makes a great bat but you cant beat the classics from easton like the synergies. Yaa I dont know if they are legal in ASA, I play in Canada under NSA rules.

I used to be a fan of the NBA in the late 80's into the early 90's.  The Larry Bird/Magic Johnson rival along with Michael Jordan's dominance was a great time for basketball.  Since then it seems as though the game has gotten away from the team concept.\n\nLook at the scores, they isolate one-on-one matchups with the big stars (kobe, iverson, shaq, etc) and NO ONE plays defense.  If they got back to a team game, like the college style, it would be a lot more interesting.  There seems to be no intensity in the game any more.
