After returning from the winter bizzard in Ohio, I was greeted with a 77 degree day for softball clinic day. Basically, my trp back west allowed me to gain 70 degrees within 24 hours. A perfect day for softball. My only complaint about the softball clinic day was that I ended up getting a slight sunburn because I've never had to wear sunscreen in February before in my life.
San Francisco softball clinic day was organized into several different playing stations depending upon your positional preference (on the field, of course). The fields include several baseball diamonds so there is plenty of room for different softball activities. There was an area for infielders, one for outfielders, another for pitchers, and even one for people wanting to practice the fundamentals of throwing properly (this is where most of the catchers ended up, including Neil).
Both Neil and I ended up being "selected" by the same sponsor, representing the C and D division teams for the Pilsner Pups. Yay! It actually worked out great because our teams do joint fundraisers and both of our teams will end up a the same local watering hole after the games on Sundays. Neil's team is coached by a friend of mine who I worked with for several years at my previous job, Terry Sweeney. He's a great guy although I'm not sure he knows what he's got in store for him with Neil on the team. Maybe Clisham (who turned 40 this week, I feel obligated to point out) should give him a call to warn him... or at least be on call for Terry to talk to after Neil has his first run-in with some lesbian on another team.
We even had our first fundraiser this weekend, a beer bust that included jello shots and a raffle for various items including bottles of alcohol, gift certificates and an anal ring toss. Neil was extremely disappointed to not win this (check out the picture). Actually, so was I. Still, we each got to meet our new teammates, have some fun and sport our new Pilsner Pups shirts. It certainly won't be the same as the Brushbacks and it kinda makes me feel like what would happen if you got to see what happened if the Broken Hearts Club had a sequel.
