Softball is an interesting game. Usually, I end up making anywhere from 3-6 catches per game in the outfield. This was not the case yesterday. I played in two games and did not make a catch until the final out of the second game (a total of 11 innings and 33 outs).
On the other hand, catchers rarely make any catches for outs during a softball game (an occasional short foul ball might come their way). This was not the case yesteday. I played catcher for one inning (a total of 4 pitches) and ended up catching a foul ball.
Many consider softball to be a boring “past time”. My situation yesterday gives their argument some weight.
Why is does this matter? In the grand scheme of things it really doesn’t matter but it did bring a question to mind. Why do I enjoy playing softball so much when I can play 11 innings and only touch the ball two times? I’m sure there is a logical answer to this question, but that probably won’t be my answer.
More to come next time…
