A Little Softball Update

So my team's season is over, since our last 2 games were last Sunday. The Tabu Nighthawks finished with a 10-6 record after a 7-0 start. Ouch. But I'll still be at the fields tomorrow. The rest of the teams in our division have one more game each. After those games is the D Division All-Star game. I'm not in that game. Then there's the D Division vs. Women's Division game. I am in that one. (I volunteered to be one of my team's representatives for that. Why?) Then is the picnic/season-ending "banquet." In 2008, my first year back in the league, the banquet was held in a hall. Last year it was at the fields, but not on the final day of play but at a later date. This year it's right after the league games and All-Star and D vs Women games, so people will be messy and sweaty if they stay around for the picnic/"banquet." Not to mention there's a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Having the banquet turned into a quasi-picnic makes no sense to me, but I'm not in charge of things. And if I hadn't volunteered to play in the game against the women, I could skip the whole thing and just stay home or do something else. Instead I'll be lugging around my backpack with my glove, cleats, etc. in the heat. Silly me.
