Put one in the W column

This spring/summer I am playing on 3 different ball teams and they are at least somewhat related.

Last year my Saturday softball team (2 games each Saturday) won the championships. This team decided to enter the same team not only in the Saturday league, but also in a Thursday evening league in north NJ and asked me to join them. Our first game is next Thursday evening. cool

In addition our pitcher, Frank, plays baseball on either Saturday afternoon or Sundays in PA. He asked me to join this team and our first game was at 4:30 pm today. The ride is over an hour, but Frank drives his company Cadillac and the company pays for gas & tolls. So, I ride for free. thumbs up

This league is a wooden bat league. I haven't swung a wooden bat since high school. Nonetheless, my first time up today, I got a single. I also stole a base, scored a run and made 2 nice catches in left field. We won 8 to 4 against the second best team in the league.

Woo hoo ! What fun !! Spring has officially sprung ! applause

Good on you Jim - Although I had to check that you were actually American when I read softball! I used to play softball and many other games than I know what fun they are. Getting back into it, with a wooden bat and all is fun I would imagine - and it looks as though you played well, getting a single etc.

Hope it continues for you.

Cheers

Hey Congrats Jim.. I miss playing man, I blew out my knee about 4 years ago, had surgery and re-tore the ligaments playing flag football last fall. I guess it's God's way of telling me to take up golf lol... Keep it up brother!!!applause
rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing Jim, that's great! Yeah, a golf club to the head might do a bit of damage! Have a great season! I can say, I have never known anyone who lost their xyphoid process. Yikes!
I'll be sure to wear a helmet lol...actually I have been fitted for a knee brace so hopefully in a few weeks I can go back to playing again!!! best of luck buddy!
