Softball Blather - Dave at the Bat Action Photo

[dlgood]

Last week, I got myself a high ankle sprain playing the outfield. I was up in the air about playing again this week, because it'd be pretty stupid to hurt myself in a dopey company league game. There was still some swelling and discoloration, and there was a heat advisory in the area.


So of course, I played. And actually, had a pretty good game. Went 2-3, with a triple, a walk, 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored. And threw a runner our at third. (Actually, relay from me in right to the shortstop, to third.) And no re-injury. And we won. So yay! Hooray for that.



Lookie here... That's, like, a card caliber photo. Me hitting my triple to right. Credit goes to my co-worker Jen, who thought to bring the digital camera. I particularly like the nice action pose. Dirt cloud under the feet. Top hand off the bat, Charlie Lau style. And, I've nicely extended the bat enough to show off the logo there...

Actually, the pitch probably wasn't a strike - given how low I've dropped (look where my right knee is) but I was looking to go to right so I was looking to reach. Must say - I was having way much fun. Dorks out over "Hitting the Hriniak Way"...
