Ooof, softball started tonight. I joined my church's team CCP Crusaders... better watch out muslims.... that's a joke, we're not planing a trip to holy lands.
I'd never played Softball before. I played scrubb league baseball in highschool. Scrubb we were the worst team and I was one of the better players on my team... so that says how bad we were. I really generally stink at baseball and subsequently softball. I can't throw, never really could, never really was taught the proper way to throw. So every year I was stuck in Right field and the coaches prayed that nothing was hit towards me.
And I always hit last. It was pretty unfair to. Our coach would say at practice, "Ok guys who ever gets to the field first will be the first to bat, second person there bats second, and so on and so on..." So who was first everytime.... Me... who bat last everytime... Me. I'd ask, "Uh coach i was here first...."
"Oh sorry Chris didn't see you there... maybe next time..."
But anyway, softball was pretty fun. I got two infield hits... beat out the throws and what not. Granted I'm soooo out of shape my legs hurt right now. Haven't really had to sprint since I played soccer back in chatty in the fall. And we have a rotating system for fielding where the not so good guys tend to play several positions... which is fine with me. But I think catcher was my favorite.... least amount of balls hit to me and my weak arm won't matter since I don't have to throw... no stealing.
So we'll see, my ultimate goal is to just meet some guys in the church and get some fresh air. Playing soccer in chatty was great and I miss playing and all the guys that I used to play with. Crabb and I are probably going to get a league/group of guys to play in the fall after Cobb county's done building the soccer fields next to his house.
