Adult Softball

I tried to play with co-workers in a tourney against other local companies. I had never ever played and couldn't hang. Some were seasoned softball league players.

It was slow pitch softball and my batting was weak. I had the bad habit of getting anxious seeing the ball hang in the air so long, I would swing too early.

I had fun trying out though and would like to practice and try again next year.

Keep your chin down. If you can't, put your shirt in your mouth so it holds it down. You'll look stupid for awhile, but you'll get over it when you're running bases.

I gave up playing full time three seasons ago, but will fill in on a buddy's team from time to time if he's in a bind. Played on two highly competitive traveling teams (not at the same time; in different points in my life) and played in several national tournaments. Used to love it, but got burnt out on it. That, and when ASA kept changing their bat guidelines every year it seemed to make your season old bat, "illegal", it got stupidly expensive replacing now worthless equipment.
