I haven't played softball (one of my favorite games) in along time so when I was asked to join a team I jumped at the chance. It's a coed league which I wasn't too into at first but the 3 mandatory girls on our team are really good. Surprisingly, I was 7 for 7 with four home runs and 14 RBI's in my first two games. Well, today that streak came to a screeching halt. Not only could I not hit but I got really banged up. First, while playing in at 3rd base to try and turn a double play I took a hard grounder right on my bare thumb (it took a bad hop and missed my glove completely). It went numb instantly and was bleeding all around my nail. It then turned black and blue as I sat on the bench to rest for a couple innings. I was in so much pain I couldn't throw too well but stupid me still wanted to play so when I was asked if I could shag balls in left field I said sure. Well, this is where I should've been carried off the field. The batter hit a shallow pop up which was perfect to dive for an make an amazing catch which I tried to do but not only did I not come up with the ball as I flew through the air but when I landed I thought I broke my wrist, ribs and pulled my left groin. I know I did the latter for sure. I have never pulled a groin before and I gotta tell you it hurts more than my throbbing thumb which I didn't think were possible. Driving home I just hoped I didn't get pulled over because I had my right thumb in a cup of ice and a bag of the cold stuff on my crotch. Somebody help me.
