Company Man

By Guy LeCharles Gonzalez On May 12, 2005 · Leave a Comment · In Uncategorized

I’ve signed up for my company’s co-ed softball team.

I was on the reserve list and got the word yesterday afternoon that I was next on the list to move up to the main roster. Too late to attend last night’s scrimmage, though, so I have no idea what position I’ll be playing – preferably 3rd base or center field. Based on some screwy league rules…10 fielders with mandatory boy/girl assignments and batting order, AND boy home runs are automatic outs!…it probably won’t matter much.

Talk about putting the SOFT in softball!

Hopefully there’s beer.
