Re: Hangin'-A-Round -- Official Game Discussion
Folks - FYI - I went to Walmart (the supplier named in the FVC Hangin'-A-Round Bill of Materials) to get some softballs. Guess what - My local stores aren't stocking softballs right now - Not a one in the store. Softball and baseball equipment is stocked only seasonally, and this is not softball season. Grrrrr :-(
I wonder how many Walmarts in similar or farther North latitudes/locations across North America have similar policies. The BoM might benefit from a wee edit....
So I went to Modell's - Expensive and uninspiring selection.
So I went to Dick's - Found a bucket of twenty-four 11" "Official" white softballs for $50 (That's about $2/ball). They tried to charge me $60, but the tag on the bucket's handle said $50. I wanted yellow balls, but all of the yellow ones were 12" balls.
