Chargers and Musials



Barb emailed me in Ottawa to tell me that my coach for the recreational softball league had phoned to tell me I was on his team that was called the Chargers.  The teams in the league are all named after National Football League teams  Barb gave him my email address and he said he would be emailing me a package in a couple of days.  Then I got an email from the coach of the Musials telling me I was on his team in the Restricted Bat League.  The teams in the Restricted Bat League are named after Major League Baseball Hall of Famers. Finally, I got an email from the commissioner of the Neighbourhood League saying that I hadn't been picked up by any team but I could come out and spare.  I didn't like sparing because I didn't want to disappoint a team if I didn't play well.  In early January, I got an email from the captain of the Liberty Park team telling me I got picked in the lottery to play on his team.  Liberty Park is one of the neighbourhoods in The Villages but I can play on their team because my neighbourhood doesn't have a team in the league.  So now I was on teams in all three of my leagues and would be playing four times a week in the winter season.
