OK. I'm a lurker from the softball board and we don't have much going on now so here's an outdoor story for you. I was doing the bases in a state men's tourny. Ball hit to deep left field and batter/runner takes a big turn at 2nd. SS who went out to relay the throw in decides to throw behind the batter who dives back to 2nd. I'm in a set position to watch the tag that the 2nd baseman pulled down just a little too soon. I get up the next day to a Sunday paper with a photo captioned "Ump calls runner safe while players look on" You can see the ball in the air and a look of horror on both players because they've seen where that ball bounced off of me and at that point I was wondering why there isn't any pain, oh wait, there it is, mommy.
