rec league time

Spring is here!! Well, it was this weekend, anyway. This week is going to be cold. The upside is the mountains will get snow and that we finally are getting some moisture here in Denver. So, hopefully this business just lasts for the week because I think that's all I'm willing to settle for.

Since Spring is here, all the rec leagues in Denver are coming to life. I'm going to be the rec sports queen. I have softball and kickball going these next two months and starting in May, my office might come up with a volleyball team.

Softball and kickball will be really fun. I haven't played softball in quite some time and had to go buy a glove yesterday before our little practice. The practice was a good idea because I haven't hit a ball or caught a ball with a mit in forever.

Kickball is a totally fun league. There is a keg tapped before each game and after the games we get free food and drink specials at my bar, Govs Park. I am at this bar probably 2 times a week, luckily my new apartment is very close by it! So, I posted some of the silly kickball rules below.

2. The more the merrier on the sidelines so all friends, significant others, pets, or even people you loathe and want to “accidentally” hit with a foul-tipped kickball are all welcome to join us. The only thing we ask is that anyone you bring along not play so as to leave the on-field shenanigans for the folks funding the season. Friends are welcome to watch,
laugh, heckle, and share a beverage, but not play unless a team is short and needs a sub.

5. At least once during each half of the inning, the team captain and/or pitcher of the team in the field should call for a social drink for everyone in the field.

6. Heckling is highly encouraged but should never be mean in spirit or tone.

13. All players must have a beverage of choice in their hand while in the field (even if it is water).

14. To start the game, each team will select three members to go against the other team in a beverage consuming

23. No intentional bunting is allowed. Should anyone swing as hard as they can and the ball only goes the length of a bunt, that’s OK. We don’t want to punish the already embarrassed. You should know if they are trying to bunt or not. This will be a judgment call if it happens and may be subject to the “Do-Over” rule described below.
