THOUGHT: It was first played with a rolled-up boxing glove and a broom by George Hancock.I just have to say .. how much I LOVE softball. Some people say its like a ripped off/easier version of baseball but .. so what ?! It's so much easier to hit and catch. In addition to this, I play in a non-competitive league so it really is just all about the fun and the team. Everyone on Genesis has become like my family in just a few short simple months and it is pretty much like a reunion this summer and the bonds can only get stronger. Playing softball is one of the few things that I sincerely want to improve on and every time I don't do well, I disappoint myself.
On a slightly related note, yesterday at a tournament one of my team mates was hit in the head just under the eyebrow with the ball. It made a loud crack and before anyone knew it, he was bleeding. It was the scariest thing ever and the only thing I could do to stop myself from crying was to keep busy. Running from the diamond, to the car and back seemed to have really calmed my nerves. I haven't seen such a serious injury before and I've never seen someone taken away by an ambulance. It truly was frightening and I was so worried. I thank God he's okay. If he was someone close that had gotten hurt, I don't even know what I would have done and I definately wouldn't have just been able to just sit and wait for the ambulance to arrive (which btw took
atleast 15 minutes).
