Friday Night Softball

This spring I decided to join Wedgwood's co-ed softball team. We had games every Friday night from the week before Easter until mid-May. My regular position quickly became catcher, which is my favorite, because you actually get to handle the ball quite often. Let me tell you, I was SO sore after the first few games - all that squatting is hard on the quads! It was a lot of fun getting back out to the fields, playing softball for the first time since intramurals at the University of Alabama ten years ago. It was also good to make new friends and get to know others better. All in all, we had a successful winning season (we only lost 3 or 4 games). Here are a few pics from the last couple of games.

(notice the bloody knees and chalk-covered shirt in this one?
my season ended in a bang, a nice fall right on the first base line!)
