Due to the overwhelming interest (expressed by the thousands of readers of this blog) in my fastpitch softball playing exploits, I have decided to add a regular feature here called "diamond notes."
Let's see. I play shortstop and lead off most of the time, though on occasion this season I have played some centerfield. I'm hitting .385 with a pitiful 1 homerun after twelve games. My team, "Smalltown Fastpitch" is 6-6 on the season. Our next game is Tuesday night in Benton Harbor. Ya, I drive 50 miles each way to play softball, since there's basically no men's fastpitch to speak of in Indiana anymore.
On a wierd note, I have hit three foul ball homeruns this season. That might double the number of foul ball homeruns I've hit in my career. I've no idea what to make of that.
Last night we won our game 10-1 and I went 2-4 with a triple. I played centerfield and we had three high school baseball players in the infield. Perhaps there is hope for the future of men's fastpitch afterall.
Interesting weather observation: it was 75 degrees at my house when I left for the game. It was 58 at Plangger Park in Benton Harbor when I arrived an hour later. Lake breeze, I guess. That just a day after the high temperature was 98 in Benton Harbor.

Thanks for the softball updates. Okay, so I'm way behind on catching up with reading blogs, but I still try to read them!
