Played coed softball yesterday and was playing against a team that had the son of a man I played with many years ago. He and I played on the same team for over 10 years together winning a few state titles along the way. I was pitching and he (the son) hit a line drive that was low and right at me. It took me off of my feet, but I got my glove on it and made the catch for the out. As I was getting up, he ran out to me apologizing as he did not mean to hit it at me. I knew he did not mean to and told him I was alright. We won the game anyway so...
Not long after the game, his father came in from the parking lot saying, "Hey old man, are you OK?" I told him "Yes, why do you ask?" He told me that his wife was at the game and called him (he was golfing) and told him his son hit at me and knocked me off of the mound. He said he was there to get on to his son for hitting at me. I told him "No need, I am part of the field and that his son apologized anyway and said he did not try to do it." He said, "Yeah, but he should know better than to hit at you Mac."
We stayed out there after my 2 games were over and watched his son play in their second game which was after mine and just caught up on a lot of stuff. Enjoyed the day.
