Softball

I know we discussed this in a good morning thread but anybody else play?

Who was it that said it was old guys reliving their youth? You suck. I think I pulled my groin today.

I play racketball on two blown up knees. I look like Forrest Gump with the big braces I have to wear...lmao

[ChumpChange]

So maybe my left hammy went out. Tough to lift that leg. I'll find out at the gym. Better take some Motrin with me. :D

I played baseball when I was in HS, then switched to softball after I got hurt one day, played all the way up until I was 50, then I had to give it up, too many aches and pains, love the sport, but it's for the younger guys than me now...........have fun guys

Indoor. I'm too lazy to go chasing after balls anymore.
3 times a week for about 2 hours. I am drenched and spent by the end.

My wife introduced me to it a few years ago and I've been all over it since. At first I just wanted the cardio but then I actually had fun beating other players :D. One on one is difficult with my bad legs but I can do two or three games. Cutthroat or doubles I could play all day probably.
.
One of my knees is bone on bone and a torn acl, doc want to do knee replacement. other knee I blew out in the court a year ago, torn acl also. Doc want to put in a cadaver ligament there. I have opted to do neither at this point.

I hear ya, at 52 I have more ache and pains than ever. Arthritis, bad back and knees but I push on and keep golfing and racketballing. :D :thumbs:

I miss it terribly, but not the infield rash on my knees, thighs and ass, god knows you'd think I'd remember that I wasn't 19 anymore and wouldn't slide, not me, mid50 yo man acting like a fool, the only way to stop that is to quit playing.

Now I watch my Grandkids, much safer.

Had to walk a flight of stairs. I'm hurting today. Something has to be pulled or at least strained.

Was the building on fire?

I do my best to stay out of those kind of buildings.

[ChumpChange]

Old building. No elevator. Not cool.

I'm really hurting today......

I swear I can here a miniature violin playing :D:D

[ChumpChange]

Motrin and a wrap and I'll find out tomorrow if I fractured my wrist. Laid out in the outfield. Caught it until rolled my wrist under my body, knocking the ball and wind out of me. They said I went fully horizontal. I'm too old for this.

I play....I have been playing tournaments for the last 6 years now and i am now playing professionally in Conference USSSA. I travel all over the US twice a month. It is a great time. When I was done playing professional baseball I swore I would not play. I helpd out for 7 years then tried it out and fell in love with it. I enjoy competing at the highest level. I play league night twice a week just to go have fun and hang with buddies.

Twice a month? wow that's pretty cool. Does it pay? or just cover travel costs? which wouldn't be a bad deal either.

[shippingguy]

There is pay, travel and I have a Miken bats sponsorship. There are guys making $100k+ a year playing!
