SCREWBALLS HALL OF SHAME
This page is dedicated to the ridicule and embarrassment all players should suffer if they strikeout in slow pitch softball. Unfortunately, in the history of the Screwballs there have been quite a number of strikeouts. They, and all future Ks, will be disgraced here for eternity. These notorious at-bats are listed chronologically, starting with the first SO in Screwballs history. Keep checking the bottom of this list as new players are added for their misfortunes.
