Company softball game vs. Therion, Tufts Softball Field on Professors Row, Medford, MA

1 x Pearl’s Kountry Klub 1/4lb all-beef, grilled by Mike (who might actually be from Finance, not HR), fresh white bun, 3 pepper mustard (Sara Lee?), onions and relish

I talked our coach into getting the Pearl’s for this game. The move paid off as we won, 10 – 6. I had some solid hits, including one that was a home run that got called a double. I didn’t argue because it would have been a cheap home run. It was really just a fly ball that fell about 2 feet over the short porch in right. I ate the dog really quickly before I went up to bat in the bottom of the 6th. I hit a nice single, a shot up the middle, but the girl on first was exceptionally slow going to second, and she got thrown out. So I ended up with a fielder’s choice. The whole day was marred when I stepped in dog shit while walking off the fields after the final out. It was a bitch to get it out of my spikes. I planned to wash it off with this hose at home, but we don’t have a hose.
