Yanks-O's Saturday/Game Ender

[cookie]

Men's League (35+) DH Sunday, I'm on the bases. At the beginning of the game, we're told in a sort of jesting manner, "Just don't give us any calls like the one Teixiera got the other day in Baltimore."

And, of course, with 2 outs and nobody on, bottom of the 7th,home team losing 4-3, the last play of the game would be a ground ball to the 3rd baseman who throws long to first on a bounce caught solidly by the 1st baseman. I hear the pop of the glove and see the foot hit the bag - a Whacker! End of game! Didn't I hear it (no curse words though) from BR and Head Coach about the Teixeira play and the horrible call I had just made! All I said back to them was "the ball beat the runner" (3-4 times) as I motioned to my partner to exit with me to the cars with verbal variations of horrible call chants in the background. Now we prepare for the 2nd game, me at the plate.
