Just came in from practicing baseball. Wow the house feels like a fricken oven now!!!
I have a  few 'just for fun' games to go to over the next month.I am not a baseball player,I totally suck at it. LOL
My husband was trying to show me how to swing a bat.I like my way better. At least when I stand my way I can hit the ball.Not very good mind you but I at least make contact. When I try his way I miss all together. Roll Eyes
Reminds me of the time my husband bought me private golf lessons.[I don't golf either] I hated the way the instructor was making me stand and swing,it seems so unnatural.I never played golf again after lessons.
Oh well I am only going to show up for the social part of the game anyway,if I make a complete fool of myself that is all the more fun I figure!
now if we were to play frisbee then I would look good.I am a good frisbee player! Wink

hitting a ball with a bat is a talent some have and some don't, I was never a natural at it for some reason, but I am a good athlete otherwise

My husband use to coach womens soft ball years ago. He has never coached me before though. I asked him to show me tonight,that lasted a whole 2 minutes. I said I think I will just do it my own way!LOL
I have no patients for something I know I won't be playing very often.I rather just go have fun and not be worried about standing right and moving my feet or hips a certain way.too much to remeber when I am trying just to be able to hit the stupid ball, with out it hitting me first! LOL

I can swing a bat and usually make contact, but I completely suck at throwing any distance.  I have the wimpiest throw of anyone I know.  Embarrassed

I absolutely can't golf at all.  I've been golfing once and no matter how hard I smacked that ball it would land about 2 feet in front of me.  I was exhausted by the end of the first hole!  I know it's all technique, but as I clearly have no natural talent I have a feeling it would take a while for me to become a passable golfer.

I played baseball when I was a kid until it was coming out my ears. Since then the only games I ever play are of the beerball variety. Two innings and it's game over ... let's play something else.

I can't throw worth sh- either! LOL I prefer to throw it under hand,I seem to get a bit more power behind it.
