Hey there, kiddies! I just finished the last game with Team STEVE. That's coed-softball for, at times, the greatest softball team ever. Here are my season stats:
.935 ba -That's batting average for you neophites. It means I got a hit 95% of the times I swung the bat. 20/21. It's pretty spectacular, no matter how slow the pitching is. I was batting 1.000 (which is perfect) until my first at-bat of the final game but I popped up weakly and the pitcher caught it. :-(
.965 obp -That's on-base-percentage, kids. It means I got on-base 96% of the times I came up to bat, by either getting a hit, taking a walk, or reaching base on an error. 27/28. Also very awesome.
19 Runs Scored -This is fairly straight forward. I scored 19 runs in 9 games. When you consider that I am a leadoff hitter, this is further intensified. My job is to get on-base and to score runs. I did that and then some.
12 RBI -These are runs batted in. This is when somebody is on-base and I'm at-bat and they score as a result of what I did at the plate. It's a pretty damn good total considering where I bat in the order. I got 5 RBI in one game, which is pretty slick.
4 Doubles -There could have been more of these. Usually when I get a single, I hustle down to first and see if I can make it to 2nd base. There were a few times where I remember I held up because I took too long to think about it. It's not a bad total though, I've just had more before.
1 Triple -This one exists because of hustle and technicality. What happened was, I earned the triple and then heard somebody from my team say to go for home. So I went for it, nearly fell down after tripping at third and was thrown out easily. Se la vi, but I still earned the triple.
1 Homerun -This one I'm proud of because not only was it our team's first at-bat of the game but I also earned it with my speed and aggressiveness. I didn't, by any means, hit this ball over any fence. I hit it to the right-centerfielder, he had trouble with it, and I just kept on running, like a gazelle. Boo-yah. Boy, was I dead tired afterwards though. Nearly coughed up a lung.
So that was my Fall 2005 Season as player/manager of the infamous Team STEVE. We finished up 4-6 but we're headed to the playoffs next week as the 4th seed out of 4. Nobody expected it and nobody'll see us coming, while we're kickin' their asses! ;-P Pbbbbbth!!!
