Things I'm too old for

Last night I had a softball game. I wear shorts. I was on 2nd base when a guy hit a bomb. It was caught and the outfielder fell backwards. I tried to tag up from 2nd to home (3rd base coach’s call). I slid, I was out. I got a bruise on my ass, a scrape on my leg, and cut my arm. But we won! We're 4-1 for the first time ever. Softball’s awesome.

    Bone bruise, and torn cartiledge in right knee, sprained left ankle and shin splints in both. Love of the games. Softball 4x a week and volleyball 2x a week. Yeah I look like a commercial for ace bandage.

  4. hk - thanks.

    mad e - not short. Like basketball shorts shorts.

    jackt - you can't be scared or you'll only get hurt.

    ss - gotta love it. I've slid into second and ripped my leg up swearing to never slide again. Then someone hit a fly ball and I tug up and slid into 3rd on the next play. Softball is the greatest sport ever (once you're over the age of 21)

    Amen to that. I play in 4 beer leagues. Where else can you get drunk and improve your playing?

    My husband plays in an - AHEM - over 40 league. Hardball. A bunch of old guys reliving the glory days. Each game, at least two are injured, sitting on the bench with ice-packs. Cracks me up.
