Ballin'

It’s been almost a month since I joined Big Woody’s and I wanted to put down some thoughts.

First, my expectations were mostly met in the game aspect. However, I thought I would play 1st base and that happened for exactly 2 innings. After which I transitioned to pitcher and to my surprise I’ve done fairly well, having never pitched anything other than T-Ball and Little League Minors.

Turns out, I’m not so shabby. Who knew?

Second, I’ve always fancied myself a pretty good hitter, capable of the long ball. Nope. But I hit very consistently, and get on base most of the time. Every game has been a multiple-hit game with only 1 or 2 put-outs at 1st.

Third, I’m the oldest person on the team. By 5 years. Yikes.

Fourth, I was a fairly speedy base runner for exactly 2 games. And then my quads fell apart and I now limp around the bases. 2 doubles in the first 2 games this season, and now a bunch of RBI singles. Not so bad.

I really hope they invite me to play again next year, because I will totally do it again. Base limping and all!
