It always evens out in the end
I would like to hear some horror stories of long and/or painful games to make me feel better. I worked a HS game last week, 1-0 in about 70 minutes (no, that is not the bad one). The next night, 14 innings, no tie breaker, and 3 hours. One pitcher threw rather hard and her catcher just wasn't quite of the same caliber. One off the foot and shin guard (money well spent), one off the left thigh/belly/left wrist, one off the right wrist, and, to top it off, a foul ball off the catcher's foot that came up, under my mask and hit me under the jaw. That one rattled my teeth a little, literally. Someone please ease my pain with something worse...
