A Day at the Ball Park Playing Softball
Today I played softball with friends from work. I just love playing as I am older now and it brings back my childhood to my mind. I’ve always enjoyed both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
My favority position in the field is 1st base. I know that is normally a lefty position, and I am a righty, but I have always been good at scooping up short hops. THe only issue I have with playing first base is that I am rather short, only 5′6″ and have trouble catching high throws from the stretch.
My second favorite position in the field is left field. I am very good at catching fly balls and do very well covering the field. I can run pretty fast and I can also dive when needed. I especially like running into the gap and cutting off line drives.
Speaking of line drives, on the offensive side of the ball, I really enjoy hitting in slow pitch softbal games. I have actually never hit a home run over the fence, but I have had many inside the parkers. I am 33 yrs old but can really run fast when needed.
I am also best at hitting line drives up the gut (that’s up the middle for those of you who are not softball or baseball players). I love the feeling of drilling a liner up the middle and seeing it seer across the field.
The game we played today was a close one. It was my office against the other office on the other side of town. I had a great game at first base and made many good scoops as usual. On top of that, I sent 4 for 4 with 5 RBIs. I had 4 singles, but no extra base hits.
The biggest issue I had was that my IBS irritable bowel was acting up all day, making some of the time a little miserable for me.
I sure hope you readers can enjoy some good baseball or softball this year before winter strikes. The winter really looks like it may be a tough one.
Next I will write about a great day out golfing! I just got some new clubs and think I will improve my game greatly with them. I hope you will agree with me.
thanks
