'Twas the night after softball, when all through the house
Not a batter was swinging, I was calling no outs;
The blues were all washed and hung in the closet with care,
In hopes that spring training soon would be there;
The gear was all cleaned ... deodorized and shined;
While visions of strikeouts danced in my mind;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my 4-stitch cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
Fifteen games this past weekend to end the year (unless I can get some dome games). I haven’t done an official check of my records, but I’m fairly certain I cracked 200 this year. That sounds like a lot, but we start in mid-March and have run through October ... 7+ months. Fall ball hasn't been a big thing around here until this year, so we are normally done following middle school ball in late August/early September.
My body is saying it is a lot ... It’s been a relatively healthy season barring a knee tweak this past Friday night. It felt bad and reminded me of a strange health issue that put me off my feet for months a few years ago. Worked Saturday with a knee brace, and it felt much better Sunday. This morning I hurt from head to toe getting out of bed though.
