Did Anyone Get The Licence Plate Number Of That Softball Game?

Last evening I was invited to serve as a ringer in a softball game by Monica Hill, our lovely and talented friend/tech person. Not only did I severely not ring, I got rung.

The Elephant Larry's Group Blog Injury Report:

-contusion (bruise) of the lower back, due to falling backward to catch a ball that the wind took. I did not catch the ball.
-extreme pain in my left elbow from running as hard as I could down the line and tripping over first base ass over teakettle. I was out.
-extreme pain in left wrist, same event.
-extreme pain in right wrist, same event.
-extreme pain in right elbow, same event.

This pain in my right elbow was so severe that I went to the ER today. Even though I figured nothing was broken, I thought I'd check and see. Diagnosis: sprained right wrist. What about my right elbow you say? What indeed.

-and my hamstrings hurt, probably from running so much without stretching properly.
-also my ego, from sucking so bad.

But hey, at least I hit a ground-rule double!

Did you know "Diagnosis: Sprained Right Wrist" was the original name of Dick Van Dyke's mystery show?

Geoff, despite your injuries, you can still play left field for the Yankees.

Geoff, please play left field for the Yankees.

I dunno. How could I possibly hope to supplant Terrence Long?

I'm suiting up.
