Dying of WTP Disease
I am playing SS in league, the ball is hit perfectly between me and P so that I can scoop it up, take few steps and turn 2. Kid standing on 1st is an inexperienced younger kid in his low 20s. He runs 100mph around the bases with blinders on. All I know is that I scooped up the ball, took 2 steps, left foot on 2b, turn to throw it and WHAM I get shoulder into my gut. I start falling over him, so I knew if I am going down, so is he. Horse collar tackled him over me. my legs are laying on 2b so I never came fully off the bag. first thing I notice, I cant breathe, winds out of me. So am on all 4s, try to stand up quick for some reason (maybe my pride said it didnt hurt lol!). Take couple steps toward OF, throw my hat off, glasses off my face and launch my glove in the OF. It takes a few mins but I finally gather myself. Stomach hurting like a mofo.
Next batter, blooper over 3b, old slow fat SS makes a sliding catch on boths knees to end the inning. It was bottom 0f 6, I am up 4th or 5th, 1 out, 2 on base, dinger......ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE PARK...onto the road. Field fence 300ft, park fence 310ft, road 315ft lol!
We won, games over. This is where kid goes from kid to "punk --- lil -----". First thing he did, not ask if I was ok since I was the one clearly hurt. that was prob smart on his part cuz if he would have talked to me on the field I would have probably punched him. Second, while shaking hands I told him "what you did? totally uncalled for. This is league ball there is no reason you should have came into 2b that hard, you was clearly going to be out". Of course I get "F--- you old man, you ran into me, if you cant handle it get off the field". Full on verbal discussion happened after that, and no cursing from me. Yeah right next thing out of my mouth was "you ------ lil punk --- -----, I have been playing ball longer than your stupid --- been alive. I can play circles around you anytime, any day". Few choice words was said to me which made start walking toward him, of course my team in the dugout already and his team stands between me and him. Ump stopped everything.
Hey I am old school, take me out trying to turn 2 by taking out my feet, good play. Run full speed into 2b and drop your shoulder...dirty. If its either dirty or just lack of experience its still dumb and super dangerous. Just happy I have a sore gut today and not a leg snapped in half.
pat on back: I hit for the cycle :thumb:

He didn't even get a chance to throw.
