Softball at a Church Picnic

Several years ago, after becoming members at a local church near our home, we attended a church picnic. Soon after eating hotdogs, hamburgers and potato salad, we started up a softball game. We had men, women, boys and girls all playing along with our pastor as pitcher. Being new to the church, nobody really knew too much about us. I had played quite a bit of baseball when I was younger, and although I am ’short’ (only 5′4′ tall) I was in pretty good shape for my 32-years.
The church had a pretty good ’stash’ of softball gloves, so I was able to use one of those. When it was my turn to come up to bat, the people playing in the outfield ‘moved in.’ I just kind of smiled as the pastor lobbed the softball. I took a swing and BAM; hit the ball about 50 feet past the center fielder for a homerun! The pastor just looked at me and said; ‘where is it written that the little guy hits the ball the farthest?!’ Sometimes, size doesn’t matter.
