The Ugly Mug

I was recently decided to play softball this summer.  I subbed for a team in Farmington a few times last year and they asked me to play full time with them.  At first I graciously declined but Gina talked me into playing.  Our friend Justin is now coaching the team so that helped with the decision, as well as the fact that his wife Erin and their two girls will likely be there most nights as well.

A local tavern named the Ugly Mug is going to sponsor the team.

Now that I'm officially on the team I am starting to get a little more excited about it.

Over the years, softball has treated me pretty well...I just haven't enjoyed it all that much.  I think I made the mistake of trying to substitute it for playing baseball (something I still miss incredibly).

I've only played sparingly (maybe six to eight games) since Tenacious D broke up in 2002 and I am hoping that this time around I can enjoy softball for what it is now that I have had time some subsantial away from it.
 

I can tell you this though...I do miss the smell of a ball field.  I am very much looking forward to that again.

  1. As a future roomie ... can I be in attendance at some of the games? I promise I will purchase a foam #1 finger and cheer very loudly for you!
