I'll note up front my coaches, and the parents of teammates and opponents, were all very supportive.

In practice I could hit well. That was with a coach tossing batting practice sorts of pitches. But in games I was terrified of getting hit by the baseball.

I tried pitching. In practice I was fairly decent. My one part of one game on the mound was a disaster. Maybe I was afraid of hitting the hitter. I got the hook and never saw the mound again. With good reason!

I played outfield well. Could track down and catch most anything nearby. My arm was OK when I needed to get the ball back to the infield.

My baseball career was over by 5th grade. It was brief, but I enjoyed it.
