Softball: The Big Ouch

First things first: I talked to Deb on Monday night, and I am happy to report that she seems to be completely fine, despite the presence of a lemon sized lump with the curious imprint of softball stitching now lightly branded on her frontal lobe. For those who weren’t there, she was darting to second in a heroic attempt to break up a 7th inning double play when the throw to first slammed right into her thankfully ultra-resistant skull. In all seriousness, it was probably the scariest moment in the history of our community, though her ability to cheerfully articulate semi-coherent sentences in the immediate seconds afterward was a source of great relief for everyone who saw it (Of course, it would have been even more reassuring if her post-smacko ramblings had not been entirely in Yiddish).

By the way, and just for the record, my team held off Mike Davy’s 13-10. Technically, Deb was on the losing side, but she was still the hero of the game, and in honor of her exemplary noggin’, I am determined to not over react. Still, I have decided that from now on, all players will be required to wear full-face composite fiberglass motorcycle helmets (Now available from Yamaha.com in Silver, Teal, Coal Grey or Butterscotch!). I suppose that the local Yak, flora and other wildlife will view us as even more psycho than usual, but I think that’s a small price to pay for cranial peace of mind. And therefore, there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning….Raymond
