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

That's got me curious.
Was it fast pitch just with pitchers who weren't all that fast? Or What I played that was called "modified pitch" - No windmill deliveries like fast pitch, and also nothing above I think 6 feet of arc where slow pitch starts.
It's a fun game, more like baseball than the others. We had a fairly quick pitcher who could get into probably the 50's when he was trying. But we also had old guys in the infield and younger quick guys in the outfield so our "strategy" was to sort of lob it in and let the fast kids chase it down.
