The Creation of Softball according to Merv-
In the Beginning, Merv Created the Field and the Keg. Now the Field was empty and the Keg had no tapper.
And Merv said, "Let there be lights." and there were lights. Merv say the lights were good and he was pleased.
And Merv said, "Let there be gravel and grass to seperate the infield and outfield." So Merv made the gravel and grass.
He saw that the infield and outfield were good , and he was pleased.
And Merv said, "Let there be bases in a diamond shape with a greater mound in the middle. This will be my space." Merv
made the bases in the diamond shape and was pleased.
And Merv said, "Let there be men to play this game. Let them form teams so they can compete. Also give them beer to drink
to keep them happy." Merv enjoyed this and thought it was good. He was pleased.
And Merv said, "Let there be a holy team, Let them be called 'Madsen Trucking Give them great players." Merv saw the
Truckers and was pleased.
And Merv said, " Let there be bats, balls, and gloves. But let one be all powerful. Let it be my son's bat. Let it be
called The Dwight Bat, and give it to the truckers so they can compete." Merv saw the equipment and was pleased.
And Merv said, "Let there be outs strikes, balls, hits, runs, and RBI's. The team with the most runs wins and each game
shall be of 7 innings. Let there be ten players on the field and make their bellies become large and increase their consumption
abilities" Merv say all of this and was pleased.
After the seventh inning, Merv sat with his son and looked at his game. Merv was happy but his son Dwight reminded him
not to forget the number 69, Merv understood right away and thanked his son... Merv handed him a beer. And
they were both pleased.
