I owe my softball team an apology.
In the bottom of the 7th (last inning in a church-league softball game), I was up to bat with 2-outs. I hit a nice hit over the second baseman. To make a long story shorter, I rounded first and headed to second, but I was over my head. The ball was thrown to second as I arrived.
In an attempt to be safe at second, I was tagged and was “out”.
Pretty sad.
Anyways, I was pretty upset at myself and walked off the field without the usual “shaking hands of the other team” ritual that takes place after each game. I just walked myself off the field and sat sadly in the dugout.
It was during my “sadness state” that one of my teens who was merely watching the game said out-loud: “That’s not very good sportsmanship.”
Ouch.
