Softball and Playing Gracefully

[kybearfuzz]

The Titans played Rosie's/Messeners tonight, the all female (and lesbian) team. While we won the game tonight, like 12 to 5 or something like that, I can't honestly say it was my best game. I didn't get on base once, though I had a couple of beautiful hits to the outfield (both caught).

My most graceful play of the evening was my first hit. I ran like mad for first as usual, but somehow my feet got tangled up and I took a tumble towards first base. Literally going head over heels and landing on first base. I looked up at the first baseman who asked if I was okay and asked "well.. was I safe?"

"Almost," she said with a laugh.

Covered in dirt and that white powder used to mark the baseline, I trudged back with many bodily bruises and scratches to the dugout where my teammates got a good laugh as long as I wasn't hurt. I figure if I can't be good, I can at least be entertaining. While it is cool to come home with a dirty jersey, those who take a close look will realize that the dirty skid is on my back, which is not how most people slide into any base. It does raise other possibilities though.. and no, I didn't get that lucky :D

I will be so sore tomorrow...

Damnit, if only to have a picture of that sprint :)

I wish someone with a high-speed camera could have gotten the shots of me tumbling in succession.. it would have made for a spectacular LJ icon.

I guess it's a good thing you're pretty (and I mean that as a compliment).

LOL... okay :)

Perhaps this is proof I might be able to fly. Apparently some part of me wanted to leave the ground, but that darn gravity got in the way.

And I'm all for massages! :)

"dirty skid on my back" raises all kinds of possibilities, you nasty thing!

I'll never tell :D

Maybe we can compare scratches and bruises on Monday. Did you see me fall forward and crawl, yes crawl, to third? Very Bad-News-Bearsesque. We play Rosies Monday and we really need to win it.
Good luck in your game.

Ah, was that what you needed the bandages for? I didn't see that spill you took. I'm glad we're two of a kind there.

Rosie's is a good team, but I think you can take them. I'll see you on Monday. :)
