Reader Email – Is It A Pussy Move To Tattle On People For Drinking In Softball?
Reader Email
So i play in a coed softball league and decided to have a cold one prior to our game on Tuesday. Before the game we are taking batting practice and this random dude is shagging fly balls with us. I thought it was a little weird, but then I get this email this morning. Talk about a reeky league.
Marc
Actual Email
Hi Marc,
My name is Mark, I am the Sports Director at BSSC. I played against your team on Tuesday at Minuteman, I was the one who was there early in the brown shirt, and shagged flies while some of your team took batting practice. I did not introduce myself to you or Jim (I am not even sure if he was there or not), as I like to fly under the radar, play and observe.
There was one thing that I observed that I must bring to your attention. It was the Bud Light that you were drinking prior to the game. Yes, I know it was just one, and well before the game, and you didn’t even drink it all as the dog knocked it over. However, we have a very strict alcohol policy.
Alcohol & Drugs are not permitted at any of the fields; before, during, or after the game. Violation of this rule jeopardizes the use of the field for the entire league. Violators will be expelled from the league without refund.
We have this policy because most of the facilities that we utilize include this as a condition of rental. No alcohol period.
Please help me maintain our facility relationships and do not bring alcohol to any future games. There will be no other action, just this friendly warning.
I hope your season turns around (in terms of wins & losses), but at least it seemed that you & your teammates were enjoying themselves, which is what BSSC softball is all about.
Thank you for your cooperation
You know I actually don’t have a huge problem with this guy telling you that you can’t drink. If that’s a condition of the BSSC getting the field permits then so be it. But there is a right way and a wrong way to deliver this message. Stealthily shagging fly balls with the other team, acting like you’re some softball KGB spy is not the way to do it. Be a fucking man and walk up and explain the situation instead of being a coward and sending the “friendly warning” the next day. I mean honestly what is the rationale on waiting to deliver this message via email besides being too big of a pussy to say it face to face?
Anyway time to vote. Was this a dickhead letter to send? Vote 1 for no and 10 for yes.

i’d of been kicked out of that fucking league before the first game..
whats next? no big league chew
It’s the noballsification of this country. Guy probably only talks to people via Facebook:
Gallant is mad that some people don’t know the drinking rules for the fields
Marc should email Mark back stating he has strict rules that don’t allow the opposing team to fucking participate in there warm up drills, what the fuck was that at all about!!!
Yep, telling him is no big deal. Not saying anything is wrong if the people who rent the field might shut you down. Sending an email is douchebaggery to the utmost.

Or gets all internet toughbguy on a message board/ comment posting.
ive worked with the BSSC dude Mark before (only over email, never met him) about an issue about the playoffs a couple years back and he is actually a decent guy, was real fair.
but weird move to be sketchy and shagging balls by yourself , pussy to not go over and introduce yourself and let them know.
every hockey league i play in has a no alcohol policy in the rink and we consume more beer in and out of the locker room than we would any night at a bar and we have yet to A) be spied on and sent a friendly letter and B) lose the rights to a facility probably why i stay away from softball
Playing softball sober is like fishing…sober
Pussay, pussay, pussay!
NEVER COUNT OUT BOSTON!!!! NEVER! WE’RE SO FUCKING AWESOME I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF!!!! IT MUST SUCK TO LIVE ANYWHERE BUT HERE.
Love how he gave the added kick in the nuts: “I hope your season turns around (in terms of wins & losses)”
Casey, you really must be a miserable lonely fuck huh?
I hate the BSSC – I got kicked out of volley for saying Fuck around a (dressed in plain clothes) nun. True Story. Bunch of losers.
Umpire: Okay, let’s go over the ground rules. You can’t leave first until you chug a beer. Any man scoring has to chug a beer. You have to chug a beer at the top of all odd-numbered innings. Oh, and the fourth inning is the beer inning.
Chief Wiggum: Hey, we know how to play softball.
To make matters worse in the game in question, not only did Mark have a brown shirt on when the team he played for was wearing blue, the f*cking guy made a game-saving, diving catch in left.
Who cares if we have ZERO losses in the A-league, god forbid we want to have a beer or two while we’re losing…
every rink or softball field I have ever played at has a strict “no drinking policy”
The policy is merely a suggestion that protects the Field from liability.
What is the point of playing mens league, if drinking is not an integral part of the game.
Oh yeah Coed sports is for pussies.
ZERO wins I meant…
Alcohol & Drugs are not permitted at any of the fields; before, during, or after the game.
After?! you cant even drink after the game? WTF?
“I drink so your wife looks better while shagging her during your games Mark so shut the fuck up. I’m basically doing your job.”
Shit, I play in a league in Carver. The fields are right behind the police station with “no alcohol” signs everwhere. The drinking starts at 8 AM and continues until about 4.
This was very passive aggressive.
He is right though to mention something. You can lose your permits for the fields as well as some other stupid things.
Coed sports are the only way you get your company to write the checks…
first off – the first dude should not have a name “Marc” – that is the gay version of “Mark”. So it is a weird juxtaposition that the loser has the correct name here.
But, yeah, this needs to be followed up with an email wondering why the stealth weirdness and email. “Next time I do something out of bounds of the obviously strict rules in this league, please don’t waste any time in bringing it to my attention. I lost sleep over this transgression and I apologize. Thanks for making sure I don’t do it in the future. Why did you wait until the next day before telling me? Watch out for the next time you are up at bat – slow pitch softball might not be suitable for message pitches – but you are going to get one in your earhole, jackass.”
thats an embarrassment…he likes to fly under the fuckn radar for a fuckin softball league? figure your shit out pal
The BSSC guy handled it correctly. With the fucking loser tough guys trying to make a name for themselves by playing co-ed softball in that league he did it correctly.
Sounds like a lot of those pricks read the Stool.
Beers and softball are as American as Apple Pie……While I agree that the spelling of “Marc” is the gay version of “Mark”, I gotta say that the “under the radar, wrong color shirt wearing, tattle tale guy” is out of line on this one.
yea, i play in a all men’s softball league and they are dishing out $500 fines if we get caught boozing. thats the only reason i signed up..
i think he should kick his ass out for not keeping this shit under wraps…… he did not make a scene and did a inhouse kind of warning and you post it on this site GOODBYE IDIOT no soup for you
i do hope he finds this and kicks his dumb ass out
its called being discrete and not making a fuss to stir up shit when its all for fun
and if you were any good you would play ball with men
i’m not woudering who the pussy is (i know)
Hey Parky……Settle down a little guy!
this marc guy obv has an itty bitty drinking problem, but unless he’s doing keg stands in the outfield or chugging a beer up at bat, who gives a sh*t? i mean seriously… this isn’t the mlb. and if it was such a big deal, then “no balls mark”should’ve grown a set and said something right then. if the league got fined it would’ve been passed down to “boozebag marc” anyways…
Hey Parky…I am glad you at least now you’re the pussy. I wish somebody would find you and kick your dumb ass off this site. Are you the BSSC commissioner? Cause it sounds like you are a touch too passionate about intramural sports.
Sounds like he was simply trying to give you a heads up about the rules that he has to enforce. (to save his own ass)
either way he sent you a personal email, and you decided to share it with the world…kinda messed up.
My dad used to openly drink beers driving when I was growing up. When we going to figure out that it’s not about tempering moderation, it’s about shit-kicking the fuckheads that can’t control themselves – they fucked it up for all of us now.
Oh and the fucking lawyer fucks who sue everybody for anything.
