Either way, it was something I had always wanted to do.

Originally Posted By chickendumpling Awesome! I think that is so cool and I'm glad you got to do that Joe. Nice.

Originally Posted By PlainoLJoe well the first time I had been on the field this year was weird too, but now Im getting used to it.

I was just glad I made it to the catcher who actually happened to be the GBLs (the league) pitcher of the week. Very cool guy. It was also weird because I had not been able to go home and change so I was still in my work clothes. polished shoes and everything. Now they are all covered in brick dust.
