Back at the old Ball Game

Spring has Sprung!!
My daughter started her soft ball season on Monday
and she had a game on Tuesday so far her team
is 1-1 not a bad way to start the season off.
there was plenty of excitement at both games
last nights was a little bit more intense though
two of her team mates got injured one so serious
that she may have injured her wrist and may be out for the rest of the
season. but all in all it was fun to see all the parents and friends sitting on
the cold bleachers passing the sunflower seeds around bundled up in their blankets to keep warm hoping that this Thursdays game the snack bar will finally have the hot chocolate
for sale!!

in our little town softball and baseball season is a weekly highlight.
my daughter and her friends usually end up playing against each other
but the great thing about it is win or lose they know they are playing for fun!
normally she plays outfield or short but this year her coach is encouraging
her to try and pitch at least one game this season( she is thinking about it, she does
not know if she really wants the pressure but she is at least thinking about it)

My daughter also has a little job being an umpire this season
she seems to enjoy it.( making plans for the money she is earning)

from time to time I will post about this season of softball I hope
her team will make it all the way to the play offs.

like the line from the old songs goes

cause it's one, two, three strikes your out at the old ball game!!!
