The calendar says it isn’t summer yet. Actually, having written that… the weather out side says it isn’t summer yet ether.
All the same, Heather and I are both on Softball teams. We are already into week two, seems like I was scraping ice off my windows just yesterday.
We aren’t on the same team, both our respective peer-groups at work wanted to put together teams, and the nights picked for each didn’t work for each other.
The team I play on isn’t coed, so Heather wouldn’t have been able to participate anyway. That might be for the best, we renamed the team this year (this being our second season as a team). I snapped this picture when I picked up my team shirt:
Last season we had a perfect 0-13 record.You might think we had nothing left to aspire to this season, but in our first game we surprised even ourselves by loosing by a record 15 points! We look forward to a great season this year!
Heather was unable to attend her first game, but I hear the team won, so clearly they are on a whole different level.
While Heather and I are not star players, being on a city league has become a sort of summer tradition for us.
And if you know anybody who helps organize the Des Moines men’s slow pitch league, tell them they need a less competitive bracket.
