I've been playing softball in Switzerland all summer. Softball is not very popular here. In fact, they have 8 adult teams in all of Switzerland. I had more teams in my league when I played in Colorado Springs. Many teams import a pitcher from the US or Canada to pitch for them all summer. Yes, we had an American pitch too, from Ohio. Unfortunately she's a Buckeye fan. Yes, that is a strike against her, but she still cool.
The good news: we made the play-offs! The bad news: we lost in the first round. So we took 3rd place for the year. Not too bad.
It is quite interesting playing here. The rules are in English. And the practices are in Swenglish. I say this because there are so many English words used in the German sentences, that most Americans and Canadians would understand what was going on even if they didn't know any German.
So here are a few pics from the first 2 weekends in September.
