if it(softball) was so universal, we wouldn't need BASA in the first place. Think about it. Whites don't seek out to play BASA, we usually seek them out. Think about it. There are usually no white players riding the bench. They usually are pretty decent and play infield. That is why we pick them up. I don't buy the comraderie line.

It is what it is. I would like an honest answer from a white player on what it is like to have your world flip at the ball park when you are the minority for a change.

You already know! Just take your experience in life, and transfer it to Softball. By the way, I wasn't trying to offend you, by calling Softball universal, but the BASA is an association, not the origination. The fact that the BASA exists, has nothing to do with softball being universal! Before the BASA, there was softball, after the BASA, there will be softball. Think about it?! Furthermore, you seem like you need a non-black perspective to validate your being in the BASA? Do you?

I don't need the perspective. If you notice, when I first chimed in on the subject, I said that my first reaction from my more militant days would have been hell no and who cares. I have since mellowed and would like hear the other side. It would have to be honest though. As soon as I see "it doesn't matter to me black, white , green or purple", I will stop reading. No Bruno type answers from the show Black/White.

As a white player of BASA softball and a member of the 502 Boyz for 3 or 4 years I fell like a family member on my team. We win together lose together Drink, eat and joke along. The reason I wanted to play BASA was just to play ball and have a good time. I could play for any white team but I choose to be a part of the 502 Boyz.
