AW: softball

[mrsukyankee]

I am quite pleased with myself.  Had our first co-ed softball game of the season tonight. First time up to bat - I hit it over the guy's head in the outfield and got a double.  I heard him talking to his captain, "There was nothing I could do, I mean, she hit it further than the guy before her."  And after that, the guys in the outfield all stayed back as far as they do for the guys.

Strong work! literally.

You ROCK! Great kickoff to the season!

Wow! That's totally cool. I used to play on a rec team and the ONE hit I got all season ended up with me tripping on the way to first base.

You are AWESOME! It used to piss me off so much when everyone would come in practically to the infield every time a woman was up. Way to go

Go you! I played one season of co-ed and lost my nerve.

Thanks all. My team is awesome. We have a lot of fun, are very supportive (we have some women playing who have never seen a softball before but they are slightly athletic) and it's competitive but not to the point that it gets hard to play. I grew up with a baseball coaching dad so it's nice to be able to do this again (never thought I'd be able to play softball in London as it's not a game typically played by the English).

What position do you play?  Do you use metal bats?

I play second base and yes, we use metal bats.

You are a freakin' rockstar! Move your asses back outfielders.
