text: This place has a great concept which is executed very poorly when it comes to adult softball leagues I have been playing coEd softball here for over years The replica parks and being able to have a beer with the team while we play is the only thing that keeps me bringing the team I run back season after season as apposed to moving the team to one of the many FAR less expensive parks Arizona has to offer that do not charge players who already payed their fees per person everytime just to get through the gate My major complaint about this place is the amount of teams using shaved bats and the fact that a lot of these bats are rumored to be obtained by some of the umpires nobody of authority seems to care It is the narcissism of these guys that really bothers me They are willing to put the safety of the other team at risk just for an ego stroke rather than work on their swing and improve their game they will just spend on an illegal bat and come out and crush the ball My team is a very close group of men and women that play softball so that we can have something fun to do every week with each other not to come out and have our brains bashed in by a softball hit mph I have been stressing this concern to management for years now and the only response I ever receive from them is Oh Well we do not have the equipment needed to test the bats Then get the stupid machine It is a simple if that compression tester that will certify the bat for year that a multimillion dollar sports complex such as big league dreams should easily afford and is crazy not to have I guess it is going to take somebody getting seriously injured or god forbid loosing their life before BLD takes this problem seriously Tonight my fiancue came within inches of getting hit in the face with a ball I told the jerk that hit the ball that next time he wants to hit it at her to not use the shaved bat His response was it is not my problem you guys do not use hot bats everybody else has them when I told this to management who i will leave nameless after the game he did not say a word to me or even look at me I really hope BLD addresses this problem soon We do not spend every weeks to put our loved ones at risk to serious injury so these cheaters can get an ego boost We would rather give our hard earned dollars to a league or tournament that cares about the welfare of the players playing instead of the countless dollars they take in on a nightly basis You should feel obligated to protect the players who is tax helped pay for this place to be built in the first place Please Please Please PLEASE find a solution to this before somebody gets hurt
