Softball League
So I can't remember if I mentioned the fact that I joined a softball team for the summer...but last Sunday was my first practice with the team. I was TOTALLY PUMPED for the first practice. I had my pink mitt all ready, my cute blue Old Navy sport shorts, and my new pink Nikes.
I drove over the field and met up with the team...and from there everything went downhill ;-) hehehehee. So, it was really nice sunday, the sun was shining, but it was COLD...I was the only freak that showed up in shorts! ;-) But it was OK, because we were pretty active, running around and stuff...
So we started practicing and whatnot. This one guy was throwing balls for us to catch and when we did we had to throw them back...When I threw my ball back, he pointed at me and goes: "Ummm...yeahh....we're gonna have to work on that..." HEHEHEHEHE I throw like a GIRL!!! LOL...but actually I just came to an ephimay yesterday, that I was throwing so bad because I was throwing with my right hand...not my left...I got the wrong mitt. I need a left-handed person's mit, so I can throw with my left hand. :-)
Anyway, my major fear was of getting hit in the face by a fly-ball. We were practicing catching ground balls, and fly-balls. (terminology?? IDK) Anywayyy...I was doing OK...I caught like one ot two balls! LOL...but then...I was going for a fly-ball at the same time as Danielle's brother was going to catch it...It happened to hit his glove and richocette onto my face...right between the eyes on my poor little nose. And ohhh boy, did it hurt...But I tried really hard and I totally didn't cry, and tried to joke it off by saying, OK now the worst thing that could happen to me has happened ;-)
OK...so I recovered from that...I continued on with learning how to catch (oh did I say that my position is Outfield?...Yup I'm an outfielder! YEAYYY). After a short time, we moved back and went to practice hitting...Everyone had a chance to bat...and I was like the 4th or 5th person to try...I did well the first few balls they threw at me, as in I was able to hit them...Our Hitting coach (i think if I heard this correctly...but I could be wrong because I was too nervous) used to be a pitching coaching for the NY Yankees!
Anyway, he came up to me and was showing me how to improve my stance etc...I guess I got all excited, because I swung the bat back on my shoulder and bonked him in the head with the bat ;-) hehehehe!!
So all in all, I'm probably the WORST softball player EVER...but I SURE did have FUN!!! and I CAN'T wait for our first game TOMORROW NIGHT!!!! COME watch us play!!!! :-) We're the team that has 3 girls with Pink Softball Mitts!
