Stats
Solid practice today, getting my "pesky" groove back. Went 1-2 with a walk, go-ahead 2 RBI single down the right field line, ground out to second base. Stole a base, got barely tagged out on a second steal attempt. Made some solid catches out in center, kinda stunk it up during BP at third but it was my first time there in 15 years so it was good to get some secondary practice in over there.
The older guys are chatting me up more to join the 35+ up league. I think I will mostly so I can swing a wood bat and to make sure I can get my breath back. I have a few more years to go back to the younger league when I feel ready.
Been battling a thigh/quad issue. Last week a golf ball sized pain on the center of my left thigh showed up and it did again this practice about half way through the afternoon. Other than that, injury and pain has been minimal. I feel like I am generally getting back to baseball shape, mostly due to not huffing and puffing after every play like I did in week one.
Good times though. I am so glad I am getting a part of my life back that I should never have abandoned. Live and learn.
