Hi Al,
I was reading Todd Budke's and Roger May's posts on the PRAWN rule 
and must say that they are right when they say that fastpitch is 
running out of players.

I don't think that big money teams are causing this. My personal 
opinion is that fastpitch is "fighting" against other sports like 
baseball, american football and basketball that are getting the 
attention from young kids. They can play these sports in high school 
because those sports are in most of high school sports programs and 
if they are good enough there's a good chance that those boys will 
get scholarships or even go pro and make a living one way or the other.

We turn on the TV and can see basketball, american football and 
baseball. We watch ESPN or FOX Sports and find out about amazing 
contracts that players sign almost everyday in any of these 3 sports.

We can read in almost every newspaper around the world and there's a 
good chance that either one of those 3 sports will have an article on it.
If we say that fastpitch is going downhill and blame the big money 
teams for this, we are looking on a small part of big picture.
Thanks,

Roberto Bahler
