What are you waiting for?
I had the first game of softball season on Friday. It's been a long time since I have played, and even when I did play it was really just something to do while we drank beer, at work, with other coworkers. To let you know just how seriously we played, I carry a bottle opener in my bat bag. I'm the type that just plays for fun, though I do consider winning "fun" I wont give up other fun just to win. I did have some trepidation on playing with this new team/league, I did not know what to expect, and honestly, my awesomeness does not include sports.
When I got there, I already knew they take it way more seriously than I do. I showed up with my old jersey, unbuttoned of course, no hat, and they are there in full uniforms, with matching pants! Yeah I knew I was in trouble. I did a little bp, shagged some balls, and then the game started. Like I mentioned before, I dont have any skills, so I was behind home plate for most of the game. I was glad that there were no deciding plays at home, I dont know if I was up for the stress. I had three at bats, the first one I hit a rope that landed in short left field for a single. My second at bat I took a walk in four straight pitches (seeing as how the pitcher walked the guy before me, I wasnt going to swing till he threw me a strike. My third at bat, the other team was saying I was a "Looker" and I said thanks, I been dieting, but it did get to me, and I swung at some crap. The ball died like 3 feet from the plate, but I legged it out before the large catcher could get up and throw it, so I got a single.
We ended up losing by one run, though the bases were loaded in the final inning, so it was a close game. I want to see if I can find some batting cages that are open so I can get some BP in before the next one. It does seem pretty social as theres a grill out after each game and both teams are invited. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season, my line score for this game would be something like
Avg 1.000, W, RS (2)
