So girls softball is played with the players wearing tennis visors and not traditional baseball caps?  Why?

 

You’ve never been to a high school softball game?

It's only fitting that a discussion about visors and caps in girls softball is in a thread about Hammond's new nickname seeing that both are trivial and insignificant.

It's all about the page hits and comment counts. Great marketing.

Shouldn't you? They're regulated as part of the uniform. Umpires don't care about that?

I find it really refreshing to finally get some interesting and provocative region talk on the GID.  The city of Hammond is where football in the region was born.

No, I haven't.  Guess my life is incomplete.

Who's not getting along?

What nickname will the girl's sports teams use? Lady Wolves, or just plain old Wolves?

It was a weak choice, DT....and there are two others Wolves already in NW Indiana.  I wanted the school to continue to be Hammond high as well.

 

(and as you know, 'Bulldogs' is taken.  I just wanted to send you a couple of photos of someone you may know.

The battle for softball supremacy in Lake County goes on!)

There is nothing more gratifying than having our children succeed.

Could be worse... you could be the Logansport Berries and have Felix the cat be your mascot.

We’re pretty proud of both the Berries nickname and Felix.  To be honest, we don’t give a rat’s @$$ what you think!
