Well, that might explain a few things


(but at least it didn't roll all the way to the fence.....or did it? Did it??)

lol no it didn't, it just fell there in front of me. well more like next to me cuz it knocked me to the ground but i was only 9 years old. and they kept asking me what day it was to make sure i wasn't delirious. hell if i knew what day it was. then they gave me a capri-sun to drink and it was all good.

i've always been an infielder, mainly 3rd base and shortstop. i loved being a catcher but even tho i was the best on my team they only let the fat girl do it cuz she couldn't do anything else. they wouldn't cut her either because she was such a good hitter. good thing she was since with how slow she ran she'd never make it to first if she hit any less.

Thanks to everyone for all the tips! Well, I have since learned that 12, 14 or 16 is the circumference of the ball, not the diameter. I went to a store and they had 10, 11, 12 and 16 inch softballs but no 14!

Ours is just a recreational co-ed league for fun, and there are people of various skill and fitness levels on the team. I'm fast and have good coordination, so I'm thinking that with a little practice I will have no problem being at least somewhat decent. Once we start to practice I assume we would then decide who would be best in each position. Someone with all Danielle's experience would probably be good in almost any position.

EDIT: There is a such thing as a 14 inch ball, which is what we are using, but apparently it is very uncommon, as no store I've been to sells them.
