Report

The 2020 season in Softball Leinster had to start late due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic, which led to the cancellation of all sporting activity.

For the 2020 season, as part of its reduced season length, Softball Leinster introduced a Weekend League for teams (matches in the Premier Division and Divisions 1 and 2 were usually played from Monday to Wednesday each week). the weekend League included the Galway Tribes, who had no League to play in Connacht.

By the end of August Batpak were out in front in the weekend League with 6 wins from 6, and Dodder Dynamics were in second with a 4-2 Wins-Losses Record. In joint third were Galway Tribes and Hunpeties with a 50% 3-3 record. Bringing up the rear were Renegade Rogues and Suspects with 1-5 records each.

By the end of the season on 13th September 2020 Batpak finished Champions on 10-0 Wins-Losses (50 Pts) with two big wins over Humpeties and Suspects. Dodder Dynamics camesecond with an 8-2 44 Points record, and Galway Tribes just stole third with two wins on the Final Day against Suspects and Renegade Rogues as the Humpeties lost their last two to Dodder and Batpak to finish fourth.

Report

An attempt at a Pro Football League (American Football) was made in 1917 by a Detroit representative (unnamed but possibly the Wolverines) that approached the owners of Major League Baseball teams such as Charles Comiskey (Chicago) and Frank Nevin.

Comiskey was interested in the idea, if it could be shown there was money in the College Game. At the time Baseball was still America’s Favorite Sport, with two Pro Leagues (National League and American League) and Football was still only big the Colleges.

The teams, based in Baseball Cities, and owned by Baseball Team Owners, would play in Major League Baseball Parks such as the Polo Grounds in New York, Navin Field, Forbes Field and Comiskey Park in Chicago, at the end of the Baseball season in October when the Stadiums were empty.

The League never happened in the end, the Philadelphia Inquirer called it unworkable, perhaps remembering the previous attempt in 1902, and the brief World Series of Football in 1902-1903. The Los Angeles Times also discussed the possibilty, although they were the only newspapers to do more than just reprint the original wire.

The League failed to get off the ground because of a number of factors: World War I, the cold weather in November and December putting fans off, and College Football still being by far the more popular version of the game than Pro Football.

In 1920, however, Pro Football would arrive in the form of the American Professional Football association, which in 1922 changed its name to the National Football League and by 1933 had become established as a Major League to rival the National League and American League in Baseball.
