The price of slow-pitch softballs

[jaretac]

PM me I can get you in contact with someone who refurbishes found softballs and are much cheaper some are almost like new.

Are they certified? Do they come with a warranty?

Government subsidies went away and it costs a ton more to grow them.

Not sure why I even bothered trying.

It is the same ball too, not like they are different in any way, shape or form. Anyone have suggestions for a fellow Fanatic?

Don't be fooled by these hybrid balls. They only delay what we know will happen.

Look on Amazon. Depending on what kind of ball you are looking at, you can get a dozen for anywhere from $40 to $60.

You're charts don't frighten me. Everything I've done is with the advice of my good buddy Lenny Dykstra.

Negative rep is needed so badly around here. At least I got one legit reply out of the whole lot.

Well to be fair the entire premise of the thread was pretty ridiculous. Why do things cost more now than they did in the past? There wasn't a real answer to be given, but we had a laugh, you got in contact with a guy, we all win.

I've got a couple extra in my trunk. Not that it helps much.

You didn't really just say that you've got a couple of extra balls in your trunk, did you?

I thought there was some rule change for NSA balls. Th only thing I can see is that multi-layer balls have been banned this year but I thought there was something else to do with the ball too

Not yet. Not until there's a Jennie Finch sighting...

Yes, along with some "junk" I hear.

did you really think CF would take you seriously when you asked about a rise in slowpitch softball prices?

I'm sorry, but someone already pointed out weather, demand and political unrest in another country. Those are always the reasons for inflation you know.

I have heard tell that the new Black Falcon 40 softball line may feature a new lower-priced entry point softball.

Careful, you'll get labeled a "softball guy" pretty soon.

As I said already, you guys are hilarious.
