beisbol (baseball)

got to watch a beisbol game at the beach today. the tide was out so the local youth had a game. they were using a black ball and it was very hard to see it. as i was laying there watching the game the ball was hit and the fielder ran backwards, turned around and ran, literally, right over me. i couldn't see the ball and it all happened so fast i didn't have time to get up, only to roll away to the side to get out of the way. but obviously not in time. if he had been wearing running shoes he would have left a treadmark on my back upper thigh. no one had hit that far out before so i thought i was out of the way.

i will have to tan all day tomorrow just to cover up the black and blue i know i will have.

but even so it was a blast watching the game. i have become such a soccer fan i hadn't even thought about watching beisbol on tv. i found myself clapping or cheering when a good play was made.
