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....
So. We joined a softball team! I secretly always want to be on a softball team. It takes me back to my early teens when I would travel around with Tom’s (my Big Brother) team on Saturdays. We’re play for Big Woodys (hilarious) in a 4 team Y league. We had our first game on June 13 and we won 13-9. I played 1st and pitched, 2 innings of each. Susie caught the whole game....
Mason has been benched since we came back from Myrtle Beach by his awesome Legion coach. He’s done that same bullshit all 3 years Mason has played Legion ball. Well, in a marathon game this afternoon that same coach ran out of pitchers and had to put Mason on the mound. Now, Mason ain’t no pitcher, but he pitched a three inning no-hitter, with 3 K’s and helped the team win to stay undefeated in the Regionals Tournament....
Having raised Mason all through his sporting adventures, I get to do it all over again with Jameson. But this time with a whole new perspective. I don’t get to watch Jameson much, as his sports days coincide with Mason’s and they are at the Wilkes-Barre YMCA Well this week was my week! I took the week off for Susie’s surgery and I got to watch 2 events. The first was his swim evaluation....
