The Magic Man Part Deux... well sort of

My first softball game of the year was Tuesday and rusty wouldn't much describe it. Almost had a pdub but it rolled foul. So I grounded softly to 2nd base and flied out to right field. 0-2 and I looked bad doing it. I EH'd for a few innings then put myself into right field( hindsight I should have went in as catcher cause the guy I put back there was terrible). 5th inning - 2 outs - 2 on, shallow hit about 20 feet over 2nd baseman's head. And I'm off. I slow down a touch cause I think its gonna fall, then realize I can get there. So I speed up, probably tripped over myself a few times. Finally get there, realize I'm not quite there so...

I dive. Uh , jump. Uh, fall. Whatever I did I was in the act of somewhat diving/falling and snag the ball, bag handed. Do the little roll over and pop up, ball still in the glove. Just call me the Magic Man Part Deux. As the Magic Man would say... " You pay me to catch the ball, you get the style for free".
