No more epic plays for me…
I was playing softball yesterday, of course I was playing softball yesterday and of course I managed to hurt myself. I was hitting, catching and throwing pretty well yesterday and in the bottom of the 8th I managed to stop a hot grounder up the left field side and in my stupidity I rolled onto…
