I was telling my roommates as I was suiting up that I was pissed about having to go. I really wanted to just go to the gym and go to sleep, but here I am spending a beautiful summer evening in Chicago playing a stupid recess game.
How dumb that there is a league for that game, right? While you're at it, why not have a league for the game of Tag? Better still, Freeze Tag? Or how about a Red Light/Green Light, Mother May I, or Simon Says? Kick the Can, anyone? If you really wanted the GOAT kiddie game, put together a Ghost in the Graveyard tournament!
Then I get there and go 4 for 5 with a home run, zero errors, and we won. Suddenly I'm a fan.
As it turns out, I think my hate for the game was more out of a fear of sucking at it. That must be that borderline personality* of mine kicking in.
Hey, readers, anyone heard of any of the aforementioned leagues or played in anything goofy, like a Wiffle Ball league?
