The Ball Had Teeth!

Husband reminded me that I was going to write about the mishaps of the recent ball games....it was starting to look as if the ball was out to get everyone. First, Daughter was running to second base. The ball found its way over to her and resulted in her stepping ONTO the ball, obviously then crumbling to the ground in pain and tears (though I am happy to report no sprains or serious injury). Then the ball made its way, full speed, to the umpire. Let's just say he was REEEEEEEEAAAALLLLYYYY glad he had his "equipment" on that day. Knocked him over, but, again, happy to say, no serious injury. Then the ball smacked the player in the pitcher position in the face (we're talking 5-6 year olds here, by the way), but at least he was able to shake it off and keep playing. Later, it bounced off the helmet of a player running from second to third. Thank goodness for little league safety equipment!
If I didn't mention it yesterday, Daughter hit the winning RBI on Sunday, and her best friend scored the winning run (for those of you staring blankly at the screen now, as I would have before Daughter started baseball and Husband started showing off what an expert he thinks he is (hee hee) of baseball terms, an RBI is Run Batted In....Daughter hit the ball that won the game. Her best friend was on third at the time, so was the one who made it to home plate to score the winning point as a result of Daughter's hit.
For those of you with an insatiable curiosity, dying to know this weird web thing Husband did to my blog, here is the link to the finished product. Be warned....the language is somewhat obscene and vulgar...

You'll have to cut and paste the pieces as it won't fit properly on the blog space here.
