Amphibious Kickball

It was a beautiful day for some recreational excitement. Most of the PAX were on time for the start but others straggled in. While we still have sunlight for the  afternoon AO, YHC decided it was time for kickball again. This is what happened.

Pledge of Allegiance (for those already gathered at the start)

Warm up

Mosey across the parking lot to play on an actual diamond. Rats, they’ve locked up the field! Mosey down the road to the back soccer field so we wouldn’t be blinded staring into the low sun. Once there, YHC asked if the PAX had any suggestions about how to play since we only had 7 in attendance. Defib suggested be “bat” with our non-dominant leg. Perfect, I love doing things amphibiously, just like Charles Shackelford. YHC called off the teams by 1s and 2s.

We did Merkins, Squats and Bigboys as the penalty for each opposing team when outs were made or runs were scored, just so we can get some extra muscular action. We rans laps and some sprints in between batting changes too.

Mid-game, none other than ‘ole Stroganoff stopped by for a visit. We tried to talk him into playing so we could have equal teams, but apparently he was required to watch his 2.1’s soccer game on the lower field. He was just there to make an appearance.

Anyway, runs were scored, welts were dealt out and even some grass burn was achieved. All in all it was fun, especially since YHCs team won despite being undermanned. You had to be there!

Mosey back to the start for COT. Thanks for the opportunity to lead men!
