We had decided this morning that we were going to take the day off from touring and hang close to Kerrville. Shortly after our epic decision, we had a tap, tap, tap on the trailer door. One of the park hosts stopped by to invite us to participate in their Friday afternoon baseball game.
Okay, it WAS only bean bag baseball. But sheesh, it was fun!
The premise is.... Each player has three small bean bags to chuck at a board. The hole you hit indicates your play -- 1 base, 2 bases, 3 bases, home run, or out. And if you miss with all three bags, you are out. It is harder than it looks!
Here's Max, demonstrating his throwing form.
And this is the board we threw at. Note the chairs behind the board. They are first, second, and third base. You have to set there (if you are good enough to get a hit) while your teammates throw.
Oh, the average age of the players was probably about 65. Grin. But that didn't make any diff! This is a look at Max's team. Yep, spouses got put on diff teams. I was on the "Young Guns" team. Max was on the "Golden Oldies" team.
We played two 9 inning games and the total score of the two was 24-21, with the Young Guns as the victors. Yes haw! Max had many hits and a couple home runs. I managed a few hits and one solo home run.
Honestly, I never dreamed that we would participate in something like this. But I'm so glad they invited us as we both had a great time. What a wonderful way to fritter away a grey afternoon!
Cheers!
