Also, my DD team hosted the PGF qualifier in Menifee (not Hemet) at Wheat Field where not one but two Umpires went down. Hell, last year had a blue call "Play Ball" and before pitch was thrown, we had to remind him to put on his mask! (He was a little bit out of it).
Living the dream
What kind of team carries only one catcher? Especially during summer tournament season?
What parent come on and posts the info likes it a badge of honor and a good thing. Like parents that tell us little suzy pitched 5 games in a weekend tourney
Huh? Googled hottest recorded temperature in Irvine California and it said 111 degrees in a past September. It may have been hot there, but the hottest recorded day this July was 108. that's still pretty hot . looking back this july it was between upper 90s and 102 for several days. think the poster was trying to comment that if you stay hydrated it's okay.
very different heat than going back to Georgia, Ohio, Florida where you have 100° temperature and 80% humidity now thats sweltering!
heat index rules established controlling heat & athletes is part of high schools and collegiate ball. But no guidelines in place that I've heard of for
Travel venues? anyone else heard of games being cancelled from Heat or heat index?
Or any standards in other parts of the nation.?
