Welcome back to the Petty Talk Podcast—where sports, life, and real talk all come together.
This week, we’re talking about what’s *really* going on in the world of softball. From high tournament costs to crazy stuff in rec leagues, we break it all down. We even talk about folks playing in the wrong divisions and how money plays a big part in what teams win—or don’t.
We get into stuff people don’t like to talk about, like fake promises from sponsors, funny business with picking players, and teams that are here one day and gone the next. There’s also a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff—like how much player cards and umps really cost.
And yeah, we go there too. We talk about dating while playing ball, how to keep your peace, and why having good boundaries matters—on and off the field.
If you love softball or just want to hear the real talk, this one’s got it all. Let’s get into it—and let’s get petty.
