Last month I wrote about putting together a new “softball” playlist. I think it came together quite well, if I’m being honest. The actual softball playing, ehhhhh notsomuch. I batted 3 times and got out twice. The third attempt, well I didn’t swing at all and got walked. I figured if I can’t get myself on base with a good hit, I’ll see if the pitcher gets me there, which he did. On defense, I played 3rd base and had an average performance. A couple of bad throws but I had a couple of stops and a caught fly ball. Why am I telling you this?
I relay this info to you because tonight will be the second game I’ve played since the covid era. I feel less anxious, more calm, and I’m ready to do what I know I can do… which is get on base by myself (take that, pitcher!).
Gear tonight will be all the stuff that was new last week (these batting gloves, these Under Armour cleats, team jersey, hat from Goodwill) plus adding these baseball pants (I slid into home plate last week and that old, familiar strawberry injury happened again). Tonight’s going to be a good, good night. I’ve got a feeling.
