Well, I know everyone reading this will be wracked with despair, but my field 4 softball team is hanging it up after this year. I think even the guys that cared don’t care anymore. I started thinking about the differences.
25 – Team yells at ump and each other often. 35 – Will that call or error get us to the bar faster? 25 – Beat out throws to first. 35 – Tear hamstring, get thrown out anyways. 25 – Females come to games. 35 – Females no longer come to games because 1) They’ve probably seen us play and 2) Now they’re married to the team member, so they don’t have to act interested in seeing their man pop out to the pitcher three times. 25 – Team sneaks beer into parking lot, gets harassed by cops. 35 – Team sees competition drinking, calls cops and gets their best player arrested. 25 – Team closes out bar, first one to leave after two hours of drinking gets called a pussy. 35 – No stays after 90 minutes unless the credit card swiper is broken, thus delaying exit. 25 – Team vows to practice harder and be ready for next season. 35 – Team thinks about going to a batting cage, but is too busy doing anything else at all.
