From Zero To Hero!

Believe it or not but some people are a little apprehensive about playing adult kickball. They feel they might not have the "athletic ability" to perform well. The truth is anyone can play kickball. And for those of you who are still unsure, the following is an inspirational story that shows anyone can play kickball.

The Little Muffy That Could

Moises is a friend of mine. I recently started playing kickball with a new team and he became my teammate. Hes a funny guy and a great person to be around. He has been lovingly nicknamed Muffy by those who know him best; although I'm not really sure why. Either way that is what he is known by. However as fun as he is off the field, he would admit and others would strongly agree that...he isn't the best kickball player. He spends most games watching the action through the grey-diamond shaped holes of the dugout's chain link fence. Guarding the teams water-bottles and waiting for his turn. I don't know if he was content with this situation but that's how he spent the last two weeks.

Then the past Wed. something changed. He arrived to the field with a brand new haircut and a clean close shave. He even had a sort of swagger in his walk. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, not until we got out on the field. As his teammate, I'm ashamed to admit I was constantly afraid to throw him the ball. However during this Wednesday's game Muffy made catch after clutch catch. I mean clutch! Impressive to say the least. Even his base running was perfect. And while he was running he kept mumbling something to himself. I couldn't figure it out at first.Then he ran right past me while rounding 3rd base and on his way to score. I heard it clear as day. "I think I can...I think I can."

I knew he could... Good Job Muffy
