Tom learns to play ball

This past weekend in Sag Harbor NY, my first softball experience.

Here it comes!

Hmm, I wonder if my stance is quite right

Despite the questionable technique on view in these shots, I actually managed to hit the ball more often than not. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm the reincarnation of Babe Ruth - born on the wrong side of the iron curtain, alas. I quite enjoyed myself, especially once I finally got to the point of understanding the game mechanics. I think I'll be going back for more.

An attempt at fielding was also made, with variable success
