Huh? I grew up playing 16" ball. I know folks that called it mush ball. I introduced them to the game with two new Clinchers being used and let them play 3rd base (my favorite spot). Never, ever heard them call it mush ball again. Lots of guys would be walking around all summer with their fingers taped up due to breaking them while fielding one of those mush balls. That rarely stopped anyone from playing though.

Only when I got out of Chicago did I ever even see somebody use a glove for softball. Then the 12" ball they were using was pretty close in size and hardness of an actual baseball.

As for Matt and expiration dates, well, he'll be alright. He has a hangover when he gets blood in his alcohol system.
