How Old is Too Old for Baseball
Well I told you I joined baseball once again after x amount of years. What I didn’t mention was what it was like after baseball. What it was like coming home *owwww*.
Yes I was a little stiff. After playing and then sitting for over an hour in the car on the way home, by the time we made it, I could hardly walk up the three flights of stairs to my house. I started thinking, “WTF am I doing playing baseball at 53?”.
However, with that said, the next morning when I got up, my snookey was saying, ‘take it easy’, but I had forgotten about baseball and I just got up like normal. And you know what? I could get up like normal. There was not a damned thing wrong with me, I wasn’t even still stiff. Ha ha, nothing wrong and I played baseball.
But, and here’s the big but, I thought it would be good to go work out that day. So my daughter and I headed off to Aquafit at the club. And I had no problem doing that, I actually thought it would be good for me.
Well it wasn’t good for me, cuz somehow, after doing the aquafit, I’d screwed up my back. So I was a little stiff getting up out of a chair and trying to walk, and then I worked from home on Monday so I wouldn’t look like the old, decrepit invalid that I am.
Now my back is better – although my thighs were a little sore throughout the week from the bending. I’m a little concerned that I’m off to play baseball again tomorrow night, but maybe I’ll just take it easy on Saturday and say ‘screw the aquafit’. Maybe I won’t push things since I’m so old that it takes a week to recuperate.
In the long run though, when I was asking myself ‘wtf is a 53-year-old doing playing baseball’, I had to remember that there’s another woman on my team who’s 78.

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.
