Anyway, that makes me feel better about my own gaffe at first base in Bois Guillaume. To be honest, I always felt a little embarassed when I had to explain that I broke my nose from a bad hop off the infield at BG. Several questions remain:
1) Why was I playing first base even when I told Matt that it was a stupid f***ing idea because I wasn’t used to the position,
2) Since it was an easy double play, with the batter having already stopped running out of the box because he thought the ball had been caught on the fly, why did Pierre throw it as hard as he could?
3) Which is worse, taking a ball thrown at maximum velocity by Pierre or a practice throw in between innings lobbed from Mike Lowell?
I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for you, Youks.
