At the plate I'm already there as well. I've had bad days, but so has everyone. Bad for me anyway...I fall short at having AA calibur defense however. Easily learned, but nobody ever wants to practice defense around here. Did you play any baseball growing up Double D?
I quit baseball at 15 years old. Didn't even start until 13. My coach was named Bob Pretty and used to pitch in the pros for the Pirates. After our season was over he pulled me aside and gave me the highest praise. He said whatever I did, never stop playing ball. That was my last year playing too. BIG mistake... I didn't play the next year due to moving and the following year because our football coach told us no other sports. My thoughts were, "If I'm ok after playing every down in football, then why can't I play baseball as well?" That was bs...but I chose to listen. The year after that, I discovered foolishness and never played anything again. Possibly the biggest mistake of my life.
Softball is a blast. It's for us coulda been, woulda been, and never coulda beens...who still enjoy the sport. I need to start playing again. I was offered a chance to play with Team Nelly but passed on that. I didn't feel I was ready, and I'm not. At the plate, I drop bombs, but like said, in the field I don't shine quite at that level imo.
Best of luck to you. If you're ever in Indiana lmk and we can hit some bp if you want to and have the time. I'm more than willing to come to the park you're playing at if it's within reasonable distance from me. Midwest is definitely cool...
Softball is nothing but serious for us. We play in a class B ASA which is pretty much the highest possible for ASA softball and our ISA is B also. Things get pretty crazy whenever we venture out of our relm and go into unlimited leagues where there arent a limit on homers and there isnt a limit on kinds of balls or bats. Last game we played like that the final was something like 70-80. There was well over 50 homers hit that game. But of course keep in mind the bats are juiced along with the balls. But fences are like 375 feet.
