For it's 1, 2, 3 strikes you're out at the old ball game

I filled in for someone at softball last night and believe it or not, I did not strike out at all. Since this is only the second time I have played since I was about 10, I was happy with that. Too bad I had no idea what was going on the entire game! I never knew what inning it was, I never paid attention to how many balls and strikes there were, I didn't know where to throw the ball if it came to me, etc. I just followed everyone else when they ran on or off the field. haha I am actually going to be signing up to play in the fall with some people from work so I'll take all the practice I can get from now until then! I played catcher, and the umpire was super friendly. He's an older guy and must get bored often cuz he kept going on and on about how we had a good pitcher on our team, talked to me about the weather, and asked about my L6 shirt. I tried to be friendly and reply to everything he was saying, but in my head I was kinda thinkin "Mister, can you please SHUT UP now? I need to concentrate on what I'm doing or else I'm going to get hit in the head with a bat!" Oh and just in case you were wondering....we won!

PS - Nice that I called the fields "courts" at the end of the night. I said "They have a lot of courts here!" and couldn't for the life of me understand why everyone was laughing. That right there should tell you how much I know about baseball/softball. Aye aye aye
