Catching Up
It’s been a long time since I suited up and squatted behind the plate.
My first position in baseball was catcher and it is the only position on the field that is equipment mandatory.
You realize this after you have suited up and still take a ball off the unprotected areas of your body.
The Roadrunners are preparing for the NSA World Series next week and we’re trying to save our catchers (we only have 10 girls on the roster).
So, yours truly for the last two evenings has suited up and stepped in (more like squatted in) to anchor the defense.
It’s been fun catching for M and the others, but HAY CARAMBA! I am sore!
I constantly tell the girls “keep your throwing hand behind you” and of course I forgot on one pitch and care to guess where the ball hit me?
I’m hoping once the sore muscles come back from being on strike that it will get easier (if I have to do it again).
At this point, the catching has caught up with me.

I truly feel your pain! Ecotrin 325 mg helps.
Randy, Randy, Randy … there comes a point in all men’s lives where we simply must admit we’re too old for certain activities. Might as well start admitting that to the smaller things in life because at other ages, there are the BIG things we can no longer do and you’ll need to deal with that!!
Always need a good man behind the plate. I am impressed. Especially as those girls start throwing faster and faster and faster.
