A Note on Baseball


Now, as bad of an idea as it may seem, I play on my company softball team. I really do enjoy it, as much as it takes out of me physically. It’s nice to feel like I’m actually still capable of performing normal, maybe even above normal actions. I’m pretty good at fielding – I tend to make at least one good play per game – but I’m not so good at batting. So far I’ve hit about every third time I bat, and it’s always a single. I’ve always been like that, though – a spotty batter at best. To put everyone here at ease, I do get another person to run for me if I make it as far as first, just so I don’t have to run that much.

I would like to keep playing, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to play much past the next game. It would probably look bad if I had to stay home from work because I wore myself out playing softball. But to tell you the truth, both of the last two games I played I felt better after playing the game. Just add “Softball” to my chemotheraphy regimen and I’ll be fine.
