Sounds like me trying to play baseball. I'm a lousy athlete.

The chances of me hitting a ball only increase when I'm holding something heavy...

Makes sense to me. Too heavy and the swing speed is low, too light and the sense of control is gone.

Though, I don't think I've tried anything sport-wise in well over a year...

Well, I was referring to carrying something heavy, dropping it and then trying to catch it in mid-air. Usually doesn't end well

上手に生きられますように・・Does hitting the ball with one's forehead count...?

Though that's more like being thrown the ball at the face rather.

I haven't played baseball in years, much less hit a ball with a bat. It's kind of my own personal boycott of sports participation.

Hitting people with bats is far more effective.

Last time I played baseball in high school, it would take me maybe one or two tries until I hit the ball.

Man, I want to play sports this summer so then I can help knock this weight off…

I'm reminded of the time when I played baseball in either middle school or elementary school (my memory is bad)... one year, the closest I came to getting a hit was when the pitcher threw the ball so poorly, it ended up hitting the bat. Without me swinging.

I remember that I kept slipping on the kickball when it was my turn to kick.

Then I learned to take regular steps.

Paulguy's Post configuration

I was always miserably bad at sports, still am. Not very athletic, either. Oh well, I don't have interest in sports.

I remember taking a pitch TO THE HEAD once in gym. Pitch came, I was going to bunt... *THWACK*

I was more stunned than anything else. No blood or concussion or anything, just... ow.

i'm a crazy batter! i'd swing as hard as i can because fuck it, it's gym and who gives a shit about winning, i just want to see that ball fly

most of the time, i'd miss or foul, but when i truly connect, everyone's all

"holy shit"

i was holy shit too

it's so awkward, trying to find the right footing for the ball, but sometimes it just ends beautifully

that also includes someone getting nailed in the face (happened to me once; it was incredible)

I prefer a cricket bat, personally.

	I could never play baseball, I'm too afraid of getting hit. Could you imagine getting beaned by an MLB pitcher (or worse, batter?) I imagine that ball coming straight at my face, and my nerves turn to Jell-O... ____________________

	You know, about 4 years back I played on a co-ed softball team. For the first 3 games, I was batting a thousand. I got on base every time. I got up to bat about 3 times a game, too. I guess it was just luck because soon after that I was getting out almost every time ____________________

I was always pretty decent at sports. Dropping baseball is something I regret. I made one hell of a good outfielder.

Never really freaked out about baseballs flying past my face. Took a while to get used to the similar sensation of a saber hitting your mask in fencing, though.

I have taken bats, baseballs, basketballs, kick-balls, water polo balls, fists, feet, and several different walls to various parts of my face and skull. I think it was a good thing i took up running instead of other sports...
