So as far as we know, you went four for five, turned a triple play, and had the wives and girlfriends of the other team's players follow you out to your car after the game. Personally, I gave up softball when my depth perception began to fail me. I use to be able to run a mile to track down a flyball. But curiously, while still in my twenties, I found that I couldn't guage where a fly was going until it was well on its way down. This led to some wonderful moments where I would run in for a fly only to have it land twenty feet behind where I was originally positioned. So I became a second baseman, and later, a blogger. It's much safer this way. Next time, can you provide game summaries and the names of your Paperboys' teammates? That might be interesting.

Your grandmother thinks these are called "blobs." I had to tell her that it's called a blog. I've become a faithful reader of your blog, at any rate.
