My first real foray into organized sport has come to a close. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. We played about nine or ten games, with our final record at 1-9. That’s one win, and the rest losses! “We Got Served” (appropriately, our team name) even had one game ending in a mercy call, as we were down by about 14 runs in the early innnings.
I played right field the majority of the time, a single game at second, and the last game in center field. Center saw a lot of action, yielding my greatest out contribution. The infield is fun as hell and I didn’t do too bad at that position. Not too bad, in comparison with our overall team play that is which as our record shows, isn’t so hot. However, I do recall robbing a base hit with a nice stab to my left at second easily overshadowing any fly balls I may have misplayed in right.
Overall, it was a great experience, the contests were never serious and everyone was in it for fun. There was never pressure for any of us to perform, and perform we did not.

I think the slaughter rule game was actually 19-0 at the end of 3 or 4 innings. Good season though, can’t wait till next year!
