Kickball and a Big Head

no-place-like-homeWhen I was a kid I loved to play baseball and was pretty good at it. Another favorite sport was kickball that we often played at school when I was in fifth grade. I was even better at kickball than I was at baseball, and when teams were being chosen, I was picked either first or second. One day, I bet the girls in my class that just two of us guys could beat their whole team of girls. They took me up on it.

 

The game was scheduled for the following Saturday in the field next to my house. My best friend Tilton and I took on about twelve girls that memorable day. We used my catchers mitt for home plate and three other gloves for the bases. The game began and Tilton and I got pounded 15-2. I don’t remember liking kickball much after that…
