    Guess they will have to run bases with their right hands over their hearts while singing the Star Spangled Banner. Dang this game is getting complicated.

    I am pretty sure. Those wayfarer signs are built to break away upon impact. The flagpole just rattles and shakes violently upon impact.

    Miss Kitty you would be proud of me, someone asked directions of me this week while I was in SoWal and I actually knew how to tell them how to get there.

    This really belongs in another thread, but here it goes...
    So what you are saying is that they didn't find the big blue signs to be helpful? (no reply needed. )

    Let's pull down the blue signs and take them over to the field and see if they help...

    You can use 'em as an outfield wall and call it the Big Blue Monster!

    Actually they were looking for a shop on the back side of Gulf Place, so I used the Kickball field for reference.

    Go Kickball!!!

    We are trying to eliminate poles from the playing field, not adding more. I was just warning you guys that the flagpole is on the field and if you run into at full speed, it hurts. Be careful out there.

    absolutely. I am very thankful that I'm not in a coma in some cold hospital. I think some angels were in the outfield or something.

    I really thought I would be in much pain, today, from that injury, but I'm just a little bruised, scraped and tender. I've noticed other bruises today from other falls and dives yesterday. I need to get in shape.

    You better make sure your first aid kit is stocked and ready. Maybe I need to add a sling and a pair of crutches. And a helmet.

    I keep one in the car- it came in handy a few weeks ago when Andy tore up his hands on the palm tree climbing expedition I'll make sure to add a cold compress for next week

    Glad you're feeling OK today

    One of my emergency kits is in the car, complete with hard hat. I actually had to get it out twice at kickball, yesterday, but I simply used some ice from one of the coolers, to reduce my swelling. Always adapt and use what you have.

    This sounds more like Rugby instead of Kickball.

    It can get pretty hard-core but it's so much fun! I swear it's the highlight of my week! I already have the ball and bases in my car for this coming weekend...

    Re: Kickball in Sowal

    uh, yah, i just gotta say - kickball is off the heezy kids!! and clearly my pitiful exercise routine does not include the intimate group of muscles necessary to exist as a proper kickball competitor. i'm in freakin traction here folks!
    wild fun with no adult injuries - glad i missed the head on flag pole routine that was performed the previous week. i just keep telling myself that 40 is the new 30 and all my ligaments will stay attached. get off the couch kids and don't be scared - you can even drink beer while playing shortstop!

    Re: Kickball in Sowal

    as the weather gets warmer, sundays turn into beach days and in the past, we have stopped kickball. however, this summer, i'd like to suggest we play one nite during the week - maybe a Tuesday nite - instead of cutting it out completely.

    today was a great day for kickball. we played for three hours and i am worn out!

    Make sure there's a game on April 20th. I'm ready to jump into the fray. Should be some hung over kickballers after the soiree on the 19th...

    I am so banged up from today's festivities, that I'm not sure if I will be healed by next Sunday. Ouch. Feels like the beginning of high-school football practice, all over again, except there are no helmets and shoulderpads. I sure could use some pads for my knees and ribs.

    Obviously you are not drinking enough before and during the game, and you might need to drink more between games.

    My bad, NoHall. I thought night meant dark.

    Drinking heavily prior to the game, might be the answer for me to avoid injury. I sure wouldn't be exerting much energy if I was drunk.

    I wish dark did mean night...but that's another thread. (I'm sorry...I'm NoFunn tonight...)

    Hearing you and Hop talk about kickball fills me with the most wonderful, awful vicarious joy.

    Re: Kickball in Sowal

    umm...torn? WOW! I missed a helluva game. Where those the orange bases or the white bases?

    Oddly enough, my brother bought some new bases for me They're pretty hilarious. They actually say "1st" (might be "1st Base" etc - I don't recall). I hope to make it to the game this weekend, but we'll see...

    Yep, torn. I was standing, with one foot on first, when that dude from AU who broke my knee, slid into first, taking 1/3 of the base with him. It hurt.
