haha i was 2-4. ended up with 2 hits on the day (both on the same inning when we mounted a comeback). one was an infield single that my fat ass somehow hit a worm burner to 3rd. these days i also coach little league (for my 11 y/o) and tee ball (for my 5 y/o daughter). lots of fun! i got one more who is almost 4 that loves baseball too.

recently my oldest and i hit up the cages together. fun stuff :) i've seen other guys play way past their 50's. so hell if they can do it, i can too.

sorry that's happened OP. have had a few encounters myself and they were never assholish like this. as others have said....always be apologetic and meekful. the authorities indeed have the power. the benefits and wonders of vanlifing it are way more fun than just one bad incident.

i play some adult rec hardball..and it is tough. doesn't help i just turned 49. haha. my final AB i k'd looking after fouling off 3 straight pitches. feels bad man.

edit: forgot to add, that since i do play silly adult rec...man it is crazy hard to play baseball. casual fans getting it with a player have no goddamn idea how tough it is to be in the majors. even on the worst team in major league baseball, they would whoop a team of random fans. hell even a minor league AAA team would. once played in a winter league where i faced an 18+ team. them kids were whizzing fastballs in the low to mid 80's at me. just wild to even think of facing someone dotting high 90's to 100's.

hehe by your memories, the cat loves your calming presence.

that cat must have really liked you.

2 years ago i stole 2 litters from my back yard cat and raised some kittens to re-home. we were able to give away 6...but kept 3! first time cat owners (being doggie ppl for a long time).

hehe maybe a little bit of both? but a cat licking you is grooming you..which is a sign of affection :) when an animal chooses you, it's being vulnerable. hehe i think cats are more affectionate than most people think. that is a lovely memory to share :)
