Lost My Virginity

[jwwashburn]

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
