Hi Brian
The Bell Labs facility we worked at had 2000+ employees. There were 4 Softball fields on the property. Our team roster consisted of 20 guys.
Twenty was the League limit. And, once we became a winning team, every one wanted to join the DingBats.
Furthermore, 20 was a good number, because at any given week, as many as 5 guys could be away on business trips.
Our Softball League had 3 divisions.....
"
A" division (4 teams) was the super-fast pitch guys
"
B" division (8 teams) was a mix of medium-fast to fast pitch guys (our division)
"
C" division (6 teams) was the slow pitch guys
