It's Spring.... the season started.... my beloved Nats are in 4th place in the NL East..... but don't worry... they will climb to the top!! it is so nice to have warm days when baseball returns and snow retreats. I hope to spend a few games out at the park watch them play with a beer in one hand and a ball park dog in the other.... Ziyi isn't a huge baseball fan but she'll go and enjoy it with me.... she likes to yell and jump up and down when a homer is hit.... She has a lot of fun... even if she doesn't know all the rules....

Baseball is a team sport I can understand, one of few, because I played it as a young teenager. Just neighbourhood stuff, no official teams. I'm left-handed, pitched underhanded, and had a natural talent for striking people out, so pitching was my forte.

 That's hilarious! Although there were some kids who said they wouldn't go up to bat if I was pitching. It is said there are some advantages for a pitcher being left-handed. I was only average at bat, but my weakness was running bases because I was too short to run fast (just 5 feet tall), and was playing against all boys. It was a fun time!

Football make me close eyes when people hit Rugby make me cringe especially watching Rebecca play Baseball is more based on skills no so much on being brute |
