the dreaming tree

alright, here’s the deal: every tuesday night i play softball, so after each night of games (two per), i’m going to post my hitting stats. tonight:
1st game: 3 for 5, 2 R, 2 HR, 6 RBI
2nd game: 2 for 4, 3 R, 2 RBI

and yes, i went yard for the first time in my life. (it says two, but one was an in-the-park, which statistically counts, but isn’t quite the same as hitting it over the fence.) it was a beautiful thing, although i didn’t sit and watch it after hitting, i started running. because there have been at least 5 or 6 times when i hit the ball hard and thought it was gone, only to see it hit the fence…so i didn’t want to look stupid again. but it was definitely a shot. cleared the fence by at least 10 feet, so it was probably about 325 or so, which actually isn’t the longest i’ve hit a softball (or baseball), i just always happen to hit it to the longest part of the park. one time i one-hopped the fence in a softball game, to the deepest part of the park, where it was at least 400 feet. i’m serious. i’ve never seen anyone hit it over the fence there, but that one, and others, was a homerun, cause the fence is just so far, and no one is really playing that deep. anyway, i’m bragging now, i guess. but it does feel amazing to have finally cleared the fence.
