Played one year of softball last summer. Guy who organized our team (mostly fraternity alums) put us into a league based on time slot rather than skill.

So we were placed into an intermediate league. I hadn't played any sort of stick and ball sport since I got plunked in the first year of kid pitch and I cried like a little bitch.

The majority of the team hadn't played baseball either so we were outclassed by a WIDE margin.

Thankfully we didn't come across too many "Softball Guys" out there though there was at last team that had more than one guy wearing pants. Most teams realized we sucked ass so they wouldn't try too hard to murder us in terms of school.

Somehow I was able to barely jab a pitch to the edge of the infield so I managed to get on base at a +.600% clip. I like to think it's because of the fact people just weren't used to fielding a ball hit so shittily that I was able to run my fat ass to first. Better than accepting the more likely alternative they just assumed I was the reeruned kid on the team that was used to make everyone else look better or something.

Either way I couldn't run the bases correctly and we couldn't string together more than 4 at-bats without an out so I only reached home perhaps three times.. And I got erased at second at least once because I didn't slow up in time and overran the bag.

Needless to say I'm in no hurry to return to the dirty diamond because of the fact I'm an abject liability in the field and an abortion on the base paths. I'll probably never play any sort of sport again given that I get sharp pains in my knees if I rotate them more than a degree.

I stick to league bowling now..
