I played a little when I was a kid, and rediscovered it this year. (granted, having your fav team make it to the world series, even if they lost when they got there will do that to you).
I'm hoping to try out for one of the local teams come springtime. I'm not that good, but either are they. I actually hit a ball in my first at bat, in the first game I played in a good 10+ years, but was so shocked, I didn'y hustle for a full three seconds and got out at first. Didn't get any more hits, but I can work on that. For fielding I played first, which sucked, because I had a new glove, and was playing with a pitcher. I'd never worked with before, and the gal playing second kept aiming high.
I feel I would probally be best at any infield position other than 1st. I'd go with catcher, since it apeals to my inteligence, and I dont really mind pain, but the equipment is expensive. Yes I know first is technically easiest. Having to catch from 3+ other players who all throw from diffrent ranges at diffrent velocieties is not my style. As for the outfield, I'm not fast enough over long distances.
