Best Dressed



The pitcher on my recreational league softball team said that he had an extra jersey because they spelt his name wrong on it and so he got another.  He said I could have it since I got picked up half-way through the season and was too late to get a jersey of my own. He said maybe my wife could sew some fabric over his name and put my name on it instead.  So he brought the jersey to the next game and I brought it home for Barb to fix.  Barb went to the local Jo Anne's Fabric and wanted to buy some iron on letters but they had to be ordered.  They came in the next week and Barb sewed some of her own purple fabric over his name and ironed on white letters for my name and then coloured in the letters with yellow highlighter pen to match the teams lettering and it looked great.  When I wore the jersey to the next game, all the guys were impressed and one guy said Barb could get a lot of work doing sewing for the guys.  I told him that Barb had a few choice swear words for me when she was trying to get the puckers out of the fabric.  Anyway, we didn't have too many more games until the end of the season but after the season was finished, they gave us the best dressed team award.  I think Barb helped us win the award.
