Message: [QUOTE="NYCSUGrad, post: 2163785, member: 971"] I've only played softball in the annual court clerks vs court officers game, which was a tradition for at least 20 years and probably still goes on. And yes, I got a few hits during the years, and every time I did I would slide into 1st base. Not just for the comic relief but because I've been a slow runner ever since childhood and it was the only way to get to the bag ahead of the throw. And naturally even if I was out, as long as it was close I got the base. Especially the last game I played in, which wasn't up in Van Cortland Park but near the courts where the Yankees keep ball fields. But I think they were under construction because of the new stadium and anyway I forgot that where we DID play was on concrete instead of grass. I got some ouchies from that slide plus a couple of holes in the jeans! [/QUOTE]
