    Softball is really dying on the vine and on life support. It is playoff time and hardly any press ( electronic and other wise) that the season was on the way. What happen in the world of softball? Softball was once the national past time and the dominant sport in the BVI. Other sports, especially basketball, has overtaken it in popularity. But it can regain its past glory. However, a softball renaissance is needed. But first the cause for the decline should be explored. Think the centralizing of the game in Road Town was a contributing factor in the decline. The game needs to transition back into the villages so that villagers can feel a sense of ownership of teams. Villagers should have the ease and choice of enjoying the game in their backyard; they should not have to travel to Road Town to enjoy a game.

    Village ownership makes it the 8th member on the field or at bat. An ad hoc committee should be commissioned to evaluate the game and make recommendations for its renewal. Moreover, it is thrilling that Roy "Pan Handle" Hill, the ageless wonder, is still competing at a high level. Clearly, Pan has a passion for the game and is doing his part to keep the game alive.
