Beyond my years
01 July 2007
With this, everyone in the car was stunned. I wasn't sure why, but then they let me know that they all thought I was older. Much older in fact.
The general consensus in my car was that I was 30+. So with this, I waited until the rest of my team met up with me at the field, and I asked them to see how old they thought I was: 29, 30 and 34 were the guesses.
I scruff out a beard up here in the mountains, but I assure you, I don't look like I'm anywhere close to being 30. I'd like to think I still have that college-ish look to me (since that was only 6 months ago).
In the end, I was pleased that they are giving me 10+ years of respect that I really shouldn't be getting.
With this, here are some highlights my team has put together in our short 12 game season so far:
1) No hitter
2) Right-center fielder throwing a runner out at first on a single
3) Triple Play
4) Clean up hitter stole home
5) Suicide squeeze performed with my Jim Abbott style hitter
6) 6-6 overall record and we've only had a full 9 man lineup for 6 games
