Baseball Once Again
Yes, I signed up for a women’s baseball league. I signed up to be on the waiting list at the beginning of the summer, and, guess what? They called me.
So tonight I go and play baseball for the first time in, what? Five years? Seven? More? I hope I’m able to move. Also a bad thing is that I now have that fucked up arm that may prevent me from throwing – I’ll find that out as I try throwing. I’ll still be able to catch, and I’ve told them I play first base or catcher, so I hope they don’t put me at first base cuz I think I’m too scared to play first base any more. I hope to be catcher or nothing.
If I go dragging all the way out there (and it’s close to my work, but then it doesn’t start til 8:30 so I have to come home first and then back out there), and if they tell me they want me to play rover or something, I’m gonna tell them I’m not interested. I’ll play catcher for them. I also don’t know, since it’s called Slo-Pitch, whether it’s that really strange throwing – like slowly up into the air to lob down and then hit. I’ve never played that kind of baseball – don’t know if I can hit a ball like that.
And this league is pricey. They told me it would be $50 and I asked if that would be prorated since I wasn’t there for 13 games. They told me that was the prorated price, full year is $140. That’s more than I’ve ever paid for baseball… seems expensive to me.
Anyway, we’ll see how it goes. I’ve gotta get ready to go and find the park, maybe warm up a bit and then start playing. Wish me luck. Let’s hope my back doesn’t go out in the middle of the game or that I don’t get smacked in the head with a bat.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
