That's me batting in the picture. I am representing the MSBL League Pirates. The pitcher's brother was sitting in the stands near Michelle and the family and he brought a radar gun. He clocked him at 85 mph while he was pitching to me. I had a solid foul ball against him, but he won the battle. In my other at bat I flew out to right field. No hits for the night, but still a neat experience. In the field I played a couple of innings in center field and a couple in right field.
It has not been easy trying to play "real" baseball again for the first time in 22 years, but I am really enjoying it. There is something about baseball that all those years of playing softball could not compensate for.
Don't worry about me not getting a hit, I was able to bounce back and get a hit in my first at bat in my next game that Sunday.
