Monday Night Softball!

Teams get together on Monday nights for men's competitive, slow pitch softball! 

     On Monday nights, players compete at Bi-Centennial Field in Livonia, in men's competitive, slow pitch softball.  Games start at 6:00 P.M., and are on a 1 hour time limit, so 5 innings are usually completed.  Games are high scoring, and a big, bright scoreboard located in the outfield lets everyone know the situation, and status of each game.  Routine fly balls are not always routine, but when mistakes are made, there doesn't appear to be the negative ragging of teammates that you may find in other competitive sports.  Several teams compete throughout the night, and many players hang around after the game to engage in chit chat, and non-alcoholic beverages.  Several fans that are not affiliated with either team, enjoy attending Monday night games.  It's common for teams to score in the double digits, and it's ordinary to see more then ten runs per inning.  Combine that with inside the park home runs, and no such thing as a guaranteed play, and you have a game that is entertaining to watch, and easy to follow for any level sports fan.
     Bi-Centennial Field is located off of 7 mile road, near Wayne road, in Livonia.  It is a spacious park featuring several well maintained baseball, and softball fields, tennis courts, soccer fields, and trails for jogging, or walking the dog.  The softball field shown in the photos is 300 feet to straight away centerfield. 
     There are different softball leagues, for all different kinds of softball.  If your interested in playing softball, it is important to find a league that is right for your skill level, and your desire to compete.  There is men's softball, women's softball, and co-ed softball.  There are competitive leagues, along with non-competitive beer leagues.  There is slow pitch softball, fast pitch softball, and moderate pitch softball. Finally, there are softball leagues in almost every city, and with the price of gas it is smart to find a softball league that is close to you.
     Do you know of a softball team, or a softball league that you would like to see covered on the Mitten State Sports Report?  Email the Mitten State Sports Report directly at mittenstatesportsreport@rocketmail.com
