friday-->And he's Safe!!!

Well last night I picked up Jonathan (one of our youth). We darted home for a quick but divine meal at the Hughes household. Then it was off to the game.
This game I was just a DH (Designated Hitter). Jonathan was our center field guy. Well my first up to bat I swung a a bad pitch that I should not have and popped out. The second time they wanted a ground hit ...so ole Sozo delivered. The third time which was my last I got a simple base hit. This is where the fun began. Every run counted this inning. We were down a couple of points and the time was running short. The next batter was up and with that hit I made it to second. Set up for scoring. Next batter and pop a good little hit I made it to third. But it was thrown home. I had already committed half way. The pitcher had bobbled the ball. This was it...... Time for the sacrifice of the ole body. I run full force to home. I hit the ground and slide. The dust clears and I made it!! And he's Safe!! Now getting up I feel as though I left half of my butt on the plate.

Needless to say after close examination I have a huge part of my bottom area with no skin on it. But that my folks is what we call committing to the team. LOL!! Oh yeah down do these things when you are too old. I feel like someone has used a road grader on my body.
