Not being involved in the Winter Meetings going on this weekend, this is big news to us. As a northern climate team, trying to stay in softball shape for three months after our season ends is definitely going to be a challenge. The big story, not discussed in this article, is that the reason only two cities bid on this series is because of a new host city contract drafted by NAGAAA which was completely one-sided. Although assurances were given that the contract could be negotiated, it was not apparent that the negotiation could be completed before the intent to bid had to be announced.

But I find Cyd's outrage to be disingenuous. He correctly states that the gay softball world series is the largest such event in the US. Yet, Outsports has given it no attention for years. In fact, I was surprised to finally see pictures from the 2005 event up on this site. They weren't there the last time I visited. In fact, the article that has been on the Softball page was years old. Outsports is missing out on a great event. This is the last place I expected to find any softball news.
