Gosh, I love Sr. Games!!!! Especially when we are the 2011 State Champions in the Men's 65-69 age bracket. Yep, we brought home the Gold!!! So proud of my boys. Even sweeter that the team we had to beat won the Gold in the National Games this summer. One of their players told me on the way out that they would be coming back next year with a vengence. I just smiled at him and told him to bring it on.
I think there is a small chance that I might be a little hard on these boys at times. I asked one of them today if he was going to pout or play ball. Then I had another player make a running dive to try to catch a fly ball in the outfield. He missed the catch (and that was ok, he had to come a long way in to get it) and took a fall and as he rolled to his back he fell on the ball. He really was hurting and after checking to be sure that he was ok I told him that he had probably just bruised a kidney and we only had 3 more innings to play so shake it off. It was said in humor and he did chuckle and he did finish the game. I am awfully proud of these boys.
Called my dumbass best friend on the way home (he had called once today to see how we were doing) to tell him I was driving home with a gold medal around my neck. After congratulating me on the win he then asks if we won fair and square or did I pay the other team off, I had to remind him that is another smack in the back of his head that I owe him. I really do appreciate those who appreciate my sometimes twisted sense of humor. The good thing is that I understand his sense of humor also.
Been a great day and I get my glasses first thing in the morning. I will be sitting there when they open at 9. Only have one more day of poking my fingers in my eyes to coat them with tiny pieces of saran wrap. Life is good.
