First Practice

I haven't played softball in 14 years... so why I think I can play on a co-ed city league softball team, I'm not quite sure. But I've decided to play. My friend Diana joined a team this year, and they needed more girls (there has to be a certain ratio of girls to guys). Now that I'm done with school, I seem to have lots of extra time on my hands, so I decided to give it a shot. Diana and I threw the ball back and forth a couple times this week on a break or at lunch (we work together) just to make sure I wouldn't embarrass myself too badly in front of the rest of her teammates. Diana still had to chase after a few balls - it's amazing how I have totally forgotten how to throw a ball... it seems so unnatural! Tonight was my first practice (and coincidentally, the last practice before games start on Monday), and my first time of trying to hit a ball in 14 years. I have a problem with hand-eye coordination, but when I managed to hit the ball, most of them were pretty decent hits (at least I think I should be able to get to first base). This should be a fun ride... I'll keep you posted :-)
