[@KILLER9783]

Resmondo is just completing side quests lol

[@saddledrifter798]

I actually loved watching this! Reminded of softball in the early 70's

[@tjeaster462]

Thanks for showing this. It was nice watching a softball game where defense was more important than hitting it 450 ft.

[@sw48]

It was interesting.

[@xdjp003]

This is awesome lol thanks for going and doing this

[@sw48]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@E.A.D.27]

These Chicago teams better pray roofx doesn’t show up next year 😂

[@dennisriordan1846]

This is really interesting but I completely understand why it has never gained popularity outside of Chicago

[@sw48]

I will post a game each day, they get better. This game the wind was gusting straight in

[@saljablo2767]

Agreed this is stupid

[@BenjamminJonesy]

Definitely understand why it remains only in Chicago.

[@THEREALMRMUSHBALL]

Dude the games huge in Oregon Washington California Arizona Iowa just to name a few spots what rock you been under?!!😂

[@THEREALMRMUSHBALL]

You have to be able to smash it or place it and I bet you guys that are talking trash don’t even play softball in any form!!

[@amelierenoncule]

How although this was a grande game, mes amis, a disservice was done by pushing-home the point that Resmondo is a Professional team.

[@catonsvilleman6900]

W with the animated color. That's a quick jog off the beaten warning track.

[@sw48]

?

[@colbymurray847]

We play big ball over here in coed sometimes, get a funky inning or two per game. It’s fun

[@ronniefendley2140]

The old blue C405, aluminum 30oz. Worth Lighthouse works really well hitting those balls.

[@sw48]

I think I saw one of those in a dugout

[@chrisking1602]

Went to a softball tournament and a soccer game broke out.

[@JOHNABLANK]

This Resmondo is a serious, disciplined, team to contend with. Every one of their players looks like he could hit it a mile, while also showing speed and playing good defense. Their uniforms show a touch of class too. Every player wears the same long pants, and will slide whenever they get a chance. Many of the Chicago players wear the shorts, and are hesitant to slide. That is one of the biggest differences I have noticed. It could cost you a game sometime.

[@sw48]

no doubt on the pants vs shorts

[@tootallt702h7]

Played 1 big ball tourney here in Vegas and loved it. Wish there was more big ball tourneys here. The only thing was the only people that had gloves were the pitcher and first base

[@nickthompson2870]

Is this Travis?

[@tootallt702h7]

@@nickthompson2870 yep

[@nickthompson2870]

@@tootallt702h7 when was that? Been trying to think of ways to do it in Vegas bro! Bri said it's some of the most fun tourneys she's ever played in

[@tootallt702h7]

@nickthompson2870 it was probably 8 maybe 9 years ago. Joey from afa did it. Super fun tourney. Like I said only the pitcher and first baseman wore gloves. I played 3rd and caster told me I was playing well because I had gorilla hands lol

[@tylerjenniges8354]

Is that ball hard like a typical 12" ball. Or is it softer? Obviously doesn't come off the bat as hard but I'm just curious if it hits you how badly does it sting.

[@sw48]

not as hard as

[@joerapo]

Definitely not as hard. It will soften up as the game goes on so you have to change your strategy based on how hard the ball still is. It's a really interesting version of softball.

[@drewhull7313]

I'd take Rezzy in a ping pong tournament at this point

[@rimstimbs6993]

This game is wild 🤣🤣

[@dereknorman6473]

Definitely is different. But can’t lie the sportsmanship from those guys was best I’ve seen! Makes it look even more fun

[@DonaldActivo]

Hell no it does not look more fun !

[@thepatriotwarrior4823]

Man some asses got humbled this weekend. I’ve played 16” before. When I finally realized I needed to swing a heavier bat I found a little success at it. Can’t have a 12” mind playing 16”. It will beat you every time. It is fun to play though. Especially if your competitive and your trying to play well. You will figure it out.

[@tylerchesher2474]

Whats next for Mondo to conquer, Dodgeball??

[@THEREALMRMUSHBALL]

I bet Jeff is frank mistarie’s kid he resembles him but he can’t hit it like his old man could! Mistarie was a beast in the box!

[@sw48]

He was batting 3rd for one of the top teams.

[@THEREALMRMUSHBALL]

@@sw48 that’s not a knock on him just saying he’s a stud but in my opinion his old man was a killer!! (Not literally) that’s all I’m across the country and know where he came from because I like him literally grew up around the game,just play a different style but it’s all the same in an essence.. that’s all I’d love to get flashback the 45s signature or any top Chicago teams to the west coast and see how everyone fairs I feel like the national championship shouldn’t be played in Chicago every year because the game was invented there,a NATIONAL CHAMPION SHOULD TO EVERYWHERE THE GAMES PLAYED AND WHOOP ASS PERIOD!!! Anyway I love this game it’s a part of me and want to see if still around in 30 years bigger and stronger than ever!! And I thank you Chicago for giving us this so very beautiful game!!! Can’t name em all but love looking back and watching the johnny o Connor’s (my favorite player of all time) frank mistaries,eggs czarnicks,pat caputo’s and so on.. I literally thank you all for your contributions to the game and think it’s amazing to watch you on KZbin some 35 years later!

[@sw48]

Good take and interesting info

[@willydog26]

I watched this live! 😀

[@janbuterfly]

So the thigh tattoo, very short shorts trend has arrived in softball? How does one even run the bases or slides into one wearing that?

[@DonaldActivo]

This is ridiculous! 16 inches ball my good they really put the soft in softball 🤣 but as long it makes people happy is what matters.

[@NickySwish]

Supposed to be played bare handed

[@KillaB-wx1zr]

16" softball with a glove?!! 😂 I'm from Chicago and never used a glove to play 16" only 12" smh

[@snapperking6798]

This is awful to watch can't believe Resmondo is playing in this tourney

[@Hometownsqaures]

Is og kp playing with resmondo rest of year?

[@sw48]

no

[@E.A.D.27]

I’m pretty sure ogkp left when marsh showed up on Sunday. Or maybe that was the plan all along 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sw48]

yes he had a flight

[@Hometownsqaures]

Gotcha

[@SamPhillips01]

All the games were interesting. This was definitely the least interesting game.

[@ottoohno1431]

I hate hearing women cheer

A thing called fun
