    There was talk about a seniors only softball team but it never happened. That would have been fun. Although so many' like me' haven't gotten ready to run. I'm sure there would have been many pulled muscles or worse.
    You don't just get invited to join a ball team at 50 without preparations, like running and throwing. I pulled a thigh muscle first thing, so Jake and others had to run to first base for me. It healed after a while, I knew better, but didn't have time since the league already started.
    Grandkids were here [spending summer with us] and kept screaming go Nana go,
    Pitchersaid, here comes granny up to bat so you boys back up. Male pitcher smiled and said sarcastically,' let me backup, I linedrived his smart ass it landed in the outfield. ', teammate said 'what's wrong, you can't get granny out?:DI was in good shape just not for running yet.
    Those were the days, guess what?:cool:

    Marie had her own team in Ga., and there were a couple girls on her team; I was coaching for her, who played, and threw the ball like a man.

    Also, both my best friends were very competitive. As were most of my friends.
