Re: 2020"
There is a thread down there by Balmer about the old days. There used to be real rivalry in leagues and softball, especially in Norristown. Most teams were not worried about being friends. My teams didn't like Mel's, Cannon, the Jug, Modi's teams, the Crusaders, Berry Mowing, TNT or anyone for that matter. We were looking to compete. There was some genuine hate for one another and that is ok. We came to Norristown for the competition. We traveled to tournaments for competition and were not looking for friends. Now with social media and the millennial mindset, everyone wants to be friends and get "likes". I would bet that most of the current players under 45 in Norristown are probably all social media friends. There was no way Marty Murray and I would be "friends". I didnt hate Marty and would never wish anything bad on him but I didnt like losing to Mel's and wasnt a "fan" of Marty. It was some ruthless competition. It drove teams to play in the league and build the best teams they could. Now it is snowflake time. No one really cares because they all know each other and "like" each other as we build our social media status.
