Lost My Virginity

[SWFLguy]

You really never know. I was on the plate in a 3 man play off games a few years ago when around the 3rd inning I felt myself "fading" in and out. I called time and decided it was not a good idea for me to continue. Got in the shade with ice, etc. and the crew reverted to two man to complete the contest. At the suggestion of the home team coach, I went over to the nearby fire department and had an EMT there check me out. My heart and respiration were OK as well as my blood sugar level. I was fine after that. Guess it was just an isolated incident. Could have been over hydration as mentioned here.

I have been fortunate for the last 15 years, so far. I am pretty sure I have been near the edge several times right before a game break.

Over the years, I have had four different partners go down. One was hospitalized and it shook me up.

I do the chatting between some innings when it is really hot and/or humid so I can check on my guy and he can check on me. I think I could have helped my partners before it got really bad in a few instances if I had not been where I officially belonged between innings.

Sunburn is a HUGE issue. Human skin is nearly 50% water. Every time I have had a partner go down, he happened to also be sunburned. Once this happens, there really is no way to recover that water...your skin is dehydrated and you are likely in trouble.

There is a great new sunscreen that you can put on wet skin. Neutrogena has it and I love it. There may be other brands, as well.

I have never tried the pickle juice...uggh

I first heard of pickle juice as it helps prevent cramping..
I've never had a cramping problem during a game, but sometimes have been awaken during the night with excruciating cramps I'm my lower legs.
Never after I had been drinking pickle juice during the game
