Tonight, I played softball for a team that is usually pretty good. If you're Indian, I'd like to know if there are "City Leagues" there where amateurs play cricket, have a good time, drink beer or tea with their buddies, and form friendships. Same for soccer (football) in Europe, Latin America, etc.
Anyway, my softball team has won several championships over the past 20 years, But we started this season 0-2, meaning that we had not won a game yet!
Tonight, we played a team that was in first place and had destroyed one opponent something like 42-5. We were wondering if we would start the season 0-3.
We were down 3-1 after one inning, but got patient, took some "walks," got some timely hitting, and defeated the first place team 20-5. Our pitcher did a great job of keeping the ball "inside" where the other team could not extend their arms and drive the ball far.
I'll attach a photo of one of our recent Championship photos. Your job is to find me, The Horse. Have you ever played competitive sports? Its been a part of most of my life, but I admit that as I get older, I care more about music than sports. So it goes.

Not a sports fan. I enjoy horse racing and that's as close as I get to sports. I think I see you but am not sure. Congratulations on the win.

@didinedhia How are things in Algeria? I was reading up on Albert Camus yesterday and believe he grew up in a French family in Algeria. Does that sound right?

You know what it is, you all just getting old. 
Glad you guys won, I used to play softball but was not that good, for some reason was much better at hardball. I am not sure how that worked.

I have always watched sports thanks to my Pop Pop dad and uncle watching. When I was a teen I played on the church's softball team a couple of summers before going to college. That is the most competitive sports I have played in my life. Unless you count when Mike and I played tennis after we were first married.
I am guessing back row second one on the left????
