Which Reminds Me

During high school I and several other girls were invited to try out for Kathy's girls' baseball team. Arriving at the appointed time at the field, I was chosen to go up to bat first. Kathy was pitcher. Kathy pitched hardball while I had previously played only softball. I swung the bat three times and struck out. The other girls following me did not swing the bat and walked, because basically either way Kathy is a very lousy pitcher. And then she never said anything to us. It was just the silent treatment. Yes, if I could do that over again I would decline the invitation in the first place because anyway it just wasn't worth the effort of trying to do that. I might have easily gotten hit by those hardballs gone awry.
