Old Man Softball

For years and years, the guys from church kept saying they needed to put a softball team together. Well, finally one year Brent's love for baseball made him put a team together and so "Hit and Run" was born. They have been playing for about 6 years. Their oldest player is

a grandpa and their youngest player is probably Brent's cousin, Luke who is about 26. So that is what we have been doing almost every Friday night, year round. So the wives have become the "softball widows". It's been fun to watch what we call "old man softball." For some reason, they all think they are still in their prime. There are some rules that most don't follow like... no sliding. Lisa my friend always finds herself reminding her husband Jon, that one!! Well the guys had only lost one game all season and were playing a team that had also only lost one game, so they had to play for the championship. Well, our team plays for fun but the other team was much more competitive and crooked. They had this pitcher who we all were pretty sure had tourettes syndrome. He would move his arm all over the place about 10 times before he threw the pitch. Well, he apparently was getting into everyone's head and we started off not doing too well. Well, anyone who knows Brent's personality, knows his competitive nature. So he was up to bat and this funky pitcher was throwing him the ball, so Brent began to taunt him. I was so embarrassed but it was pretty funny. Brent began to dance, stick his butt out, jump around. It was probably the hardest I have laughed in a long time. So here are some of the pictures we took. Some are of Lisa and Julie mocking the pitcher and Brent. It was just as funny watching them mimick them. You really had to be there to see it, though.

Lisa is pitching, Julie's showing what Brent was doing. Even Kourt got into the fun!!
