I played baseball from Tball up until bantams, with the boys. Not to toot my own horn (toot toot) but I made a fool out of a lot of them, and they hated me for it. I was starting catcher, and backup pitcher. I grew up from childhood, and was really close to a lot of the boys I played with, but majority of them had grudges, and so did their parents. I remember when I was 13, they held tryouts in the college gymnasium for baseball the upcoming year. Out of 500 boys (well 499, plus me), I was picked 13th, and parents were PISSED, that a "girl" was chosen over their Ken Griffey Jr sons. My dad loved that ->-bleeped-<-.
Coincidentally, I had to choose between baseball and hockey, and hockey was my passion, so I gave up baseball. Once I have top surgery I'm definitely going to join a softball league though.
