One Hit Wonders

That is the name of a 3-pitch team I joined. The captain of the team is an ex-baseball teammate from 5 years ago. He isn’t very organized and lets people just pick whatever position in the field. This lead to some horrible results. He did put me in the leadoff position which was surprising. On the first pitch I saw, I hit a home run to RF. My next two at-bats weren’t as impressive as I popped out and hit a screamer down the 3rd base line that could have been a home run if it wasn’t called foul. I only played two or three innings in the field, I didn’t have the ball hit to me once. One inning when I was sitting off I was standing in the doorway of the dugout hands in my pockets leaning a bit on the fence. A female teammate was standing behind me. She is a cutie: tall, blonde, from the Netherlands. Any ways, a ball is hit to the shortstop who throws it to first. I see the 1st baseman start to reach and then I see the ball just going over his glove. My hands are in my pockets, I don’t have time to catch the ball. I barely have time to dodge it… if i wanted to. I took the hit to protect the girl behind me. It hit me in the left elbow. It didn’t swell much because I iced it but it still stings. I think I am going to get to know this girl better.
