how can you call basketball a social sport?
You get a group of friends together and go out drinking after the games. To me, softball isn't so easy that you can do it smashed (at least ppl usually take it too seriously) and the social benefit is a beer or two during the game and going out afterwards. If I'm gonna do that, id rather play something actually fun like basketball and crush it afterwards with my boys. This is just my opinion though. I'm sure some ppl can and do play softball while boozing heavily.
Softball with alcohol = put a keg at first and third. If you reach those bases, you have to chug a beer. Also, plenty of beer in dugout. Smoking in outfield and pitchers mound is optional.
We would have a keg on 2nd. You weren't allowed to go past 2nd until you did a kegstand.
I almost seriously injured someone in a game like this.
They were stupidly running and I threw to second to try to get them out, forgetting there were like half a dozen people gathered around second base. Very lucky not to concuss someone.
