We played a variation of Rube Rules, etc. as players came and went. Sandman and Grandpa played all time SS and CF until Horfun had to leave to get her pig knuckles cooked. We played at the "new field" near Rube's place. It was really hot, and the field was bumpy and nasty. Both teams had a hard time handling balls once they hit the ground. No way to predict where they were going to bounce. Sandman even got hit in the face, glasses flying, once. At other times, to handle the sudden angle of the ball, he looked like a patient receiving electro-shock therapy.
Notes:
1) Jason started the game with 2 homers. Was completely on fire. He's becoming a dangerous batter; 2) Heidi was clutch. She also had 2 homers. The best one was a walk-off game winning 3-run homer in the bottom of the 9th. She was so hot, guys were asking for her digits. She's money; 3) Rube struck out; 4) Seven went to Bangkok last week, and even got past passport control; 5) DT made an emergency drinks run in the middle of the game to get water and other drinks, using Heidi's money. We were wilting in the heat; 6) One of the best plays I've seen. Gunz fields a ball in RF, and throws it home, as Seven is rounding 3B. Gunz misses the cut-off man; Gunz don't need a cut-off man. Jason is catching and in perfect position. The ball hits his glove - at shoulder height - with such force that it whips the glove backward and it slaps Seven's shoulder as he is centimeters from touching homeplate. All were stunned for a few seconds, then a roar rose up from both sides. The perfect going away moment for Gunz, as he is leaving for an Iowa exile for a year. He will be missed; 7) Andy's party was a good time. Plenty of food, much happening.
