Two months ago, I decided to join some friends in an adult baseball league for geezers 45 and older. This represents a huge leap of faith for me. I haven’t played on any organized team, in any sport, in at least 15 years, and that was slow-pitch softball. I haven’t played baseball on a team since I was 12. I’ve never swung at a breaking ball, never gotten a sign from a third-base coach, never tried to hit the cutoff man from the outfield.
My friends tell me I’ll do okay — I’m in decent shape for a 52-year-old, and it’s not like the pitchers are going to buzz 90-mph fastballs under my chin. My biggest fear is that I’ll go the entire season without a hit, but they assure me that nobody’s that bad.
I hope they’re right. My sports career includes some moments of epic suckitude, and I’m too old…
