You know you're a softball junkie if...

You need a second job (or your parents do) just to pay for gloves, bats, equipment, uniforms, player fees, batting cages, etc...

Your second job is umpiring at softball games.

Your idea of spending quality time with your spouse is playing on the same co-ed team.

You have more than one bat that cost over $200.

You go to the softball fields on nights your team isn't even playing.

You used to rest and relax on the weekends, now the only rest you get is between games at a tournament.

You think "wearing something nice" means an all-tournament shirt with no dirt stains.

When someone says they are going out of town this weekend you ask if there is a tournament there.

All your white socks have dirt stains from playing softball.

Your idea of a weekend getaway is a two-day tournament in (insert town name).

You have a tattoo that says softball forever.

You plan your summer vacation each year around the state softball tournament.

You own more softball t-shirts than pairs of underwear.

Your girlfriend / boyfriend knows when you ask them out to dinner you really mean pizza after the game.

You tape your bat handles with various designs and use only tape with team colors.

You have a softball website.

you are a softball junkie when you:

plan your leave around tournaments you have to travel to (like Miri)

have bats, balls, gloves, facemask, bases, shoes and other softball stuff in your car trunk... just in case...

keep imagining people's heads as softballs... and you wanna take a swing

yell "strike 3!" in your sleep... and punching out your spouse in the process

have more softball shirts, jerseys, shorts, pants, hats, socks, shoes than anything else in your drawer

notice that Obi Wan Kenobi was swinging an EASTON light saber

are banned from the funfair becuz you are TOO DAMN GOOD at the game where you throw tennis balls at tin cans

yell "HOME RUN!" the first time you successfully had sex

write down "shortstop" on your resume
