BATTER UP!!

What a riot!!!

If you don't know this, our church is only 10 months old. We have a great mix of people and one of the guys thought we should have a church softball team....jack and jill! So James put it all together. He coached it. Designed the jerseys. Called practices. The whole nine yards! James, you did an outstanding job, bro!!!!

I was the second oldest player on the team. There were five of us over forty, two guys in their thirties and the other eight players were in their twenties!! We had a blast.

Laughing at each other was mandatory. Encouraging each other was necessary. And winning, well, we played better than .500 ball!

The experience was very fun and quite entertaining. My wife played as well and she had a great time!

I think the best line of the season came from our post 40 year old pitcher as a grounder came rolling by him just out of his reach and I heard him holler: "If that was a cookie, I would have got it!"

That's just beautiful!!!!!!!

MTC!
