wow...softball really is a different game. This is really going to have to take some getting used to. How can a shortstop turn a double play, all your motion and movement goes over the bag right at the runner....It's such a fundamental thing for me to drop down, its like having to relearn the position again.

I guess i won't be burying any balls in peoples faces anymore.

So lets say i make an honest attempt at a double play with a 300 pounder lumbering down the base path...i make a sidearm throw around him and my arm hits the runner and i hurt my arm...where's the justification for my safety trying to make a play?

Oh well, I'm still using my little 11" baseball mitt, i gotta get something else. That lil thing is pretty tough witht hat big ball.

Feel kind of bad about breaking a guys nose...it would have never hit him though if he would have slid...or hell duck out of the way.
