After 6 Years Babe's Says GoodBye to Softball World for the 2009 Season

In the blink of an eye, years of SBW records and standings were wiped clean and the website replaced, but the memories will always be intact. Bad umpires, rocky infields, playing in the most miserable wet conditions, dramatic loses and comebacks, drama, the bitter rivalries, the drunken heckling, an indefinite Kickball ban, and one division trophy.

It's a sad day in Northeast Ohio and it will be an even sadder day when SBW eventually gets turned into a cemetery (Morbid as it may be I call dibs on the plot of land in RC on Field #2).

In 2009 Babe's has no plans to move to SBW's more expensive replacement - Ohio Sports Park in North Ridgeville. It looks like Babe's will finally make the anticipated move over to Strongsville where no entry fees, better officiating, and hopefully greener pastures await.

Does this mean Coach Nick gets a second chance at playing Kickball at Ohio Sports Park? I think we can all agree that is it better for him to stay retired.

How can you possibly say anything bad about a new team that is patriotic enough to call themselves Team America?

Domination, intimidation, obliteration, or whatever similar adjective you want to use. The lucky 13th meeting between the 2 Parma forces was more like batting practice for Babe's.
