Softball guy - part 3
Well almost three years ago Watermark put together a softball team and we did not win a lot. Here is a quote from me, dated September 16, 2003 regarding my time playing softball with our team: "I am utterly humbled. I struck out looking in softball. Wondering why I play." Now here is a quote from last year- June 14, 2005, "so...our softball team got beat 65 to 5 or something outrageous. My attitude went a bit south during the game - how can it not?"
AND NOW I AM SIGNED UP AGAIN TO BRING THE HURT TO THE SOFTBALL LEAGUE OF GRAND HAVEN! And the hurt is on me!
I am like a dog that keeps getting kicked and still loves its master and comes when it's called. This year we aren't doing the church league - we are hanging with the normal people. :) So it should be fun, but I may end up complaining about my lack of skills, but then again I have no excuses after reviewing my past exploits... I know what could be coming my way.
Here is a video from a past post (last year) for inspiration.

Keep playing for those of us who can't. I blew a hamstring and achilles trying to go from second to home last year. I'm officially done, and working on the golf game this year.
Blessings,

Kevin, we do have a podcast. Plug in iamwatermark in the directory. But, there is another Watermark church doing a bunch as well. I love you too.
Troy, I am playing slow so I don't blow anything out, but I'll play the next game in your honor! :)
By the way we had our first practice and it went okay. I want to be optimistic, but I have seen this picture before... and it usually has me quoting scripture to stay sane.
I can empathize with your lack of softball skills. Last year I attempted to play for our church's softball team. I faired pretty well at the plate but I was absolutely horrific in the field. My eyes must be getting bad or something... that darn ball looked so small coming at me from the sky.
After pulling a hammy and then a quad in back to back games I decided it was time to retire & stick with poker.
