Tidal wave blues star from Partyville, USA
What is this blog entry about? Catching a fly ball in the outfield in your first year of baseball in your youth of course. I was a baseball and t-ball player as a youth. 2 years of each. I ran the bases once in a blue moon and I liked to do my best to have some fun even though I must admit that for a centerfielder or left fielder and then a catcher, it was never a hero's job. That said, I was never the top player and noone wanted to kill me per se, but I was never their hero either. That said, I once caught a fly ball when I was playing for a team with a really fine coach. I felt like the world just let me live again. I was never the best ball player and if the ball came my way, it was never going to be returned with a really strong arm or with a good perfect throw either. But that said, catching a fly ball gets you an out. So I did my due diligence to God and country and somehow that pop fly landed squarely in my unused mitt that never saw the greatest action except in a game of toss. I saved the day if for but a breif handshake with my Creator. It went well and I never thanked God but who does that at that age. Thanks God, it meant alot. But why didn't I hit a homerun too. Maybe that would have been a fun time. Right?
