24 Hour Game Diary Pt 8

Monday, October 20, 2003 12:48 pm Arizona time (Pacific) Well, my flight leaves in about an hour, and here I am sitting in the Tucson airport with sore legs, but happy. The Red-Eyed Nites mounted a comeback in the morning hours, cutting the lead of the African Gray Birds, which had been around 40 runs […]

24 Hour Game Diary Pt 7

Sunday, October 19, 2003 4:20 am Arizona time (Pacific) Since I last wrote I’ve had the best catch of my life. I don’t mean a caught ball in the outfield, I mean best game of catch. Chiba, one of the Japanese players, and I went down to the batting tunnel after we woke up from […]

24 Hour Game Diary Pt 6

Saturday, October 18, 2003 11:08 pm Arizona time (Pacific) I have just had my first major league shower. And damn it felt good. It is patently clear that this is the locker room of the team with the tallest player in the majors, because the showerheads are set so high it’s hard to reach them […]

24 Hour Game Diary Pt 5

Saturday, October 18, 2003 8:30 am Arizona time (Pacific) Ow. Ow. Ow. Well, if I thought I might be less tired and less sore today… I was wrong. If I felt yesterday like I had been hit by a car, today I feel like I was run over by a monster truck. Repeatedly. My feet […]

24 Hour Game Diary Pt 4

Friday, October 17, 2003 3:18 pm Arizona time (Pacific) Oh my god I’m sore. My legs, my back, my butt, my feet. I woke up this morning feeling like I’d been in a car wreck. (Actually, I didn’t feel anywhere near this bad after my motorcycle accident!) Given how much ibuprofen i am taking to […]

24 Hour Game Diary Pt 3

Friday, October 17, 2003 4:22 am Arizona time (Pacific) Can’t sleep. I’m so tired, my muscles are burning, but some part of me is so keyed up I can’t get back to sleep even though I’m exhausted. Yesterday (today?) was probably one of the best baseball days of my life. It would have been anyway, […]

24 Hour Game Diary Pt 2

October 16, 2003 9:10 am Arizona time (Pacific) Just got back from breakfast with my roomie, Theresa MacGregor. We’re here at the Amerisuites by the Tucson airport, along with a couple dozen other women baseball players. If you’re just tuning in, we’re here as part of a fundraiser/awareness-raiser called “24 Hours for Africa.” It’s like […]

24 Hour Game Diary 1

October 15, 2003 5:20 pm (not sure what time zone) I am flying on a plane as I write this, on my way to Tucson for the “24 Hours for Africa” women’s baseball marathon. I shouldn’t even be typing this because my elbow hurts, typing aggravates it, and I should be saving my arm for […]
