I have just started learning about baseball rules Krissy since we had the Wii. The boys love playing baseball on the sports pack but Terry's nearly broke the lights a few times!

I played rounders at school Lyn - I was terrible at all sports and the bully girls used to try to break my glasses throwing the ball at my face! The one day I got so mad I actually hit the ball over the school and got my one and only rounder!

We played rounders at school as well Steph, many years ago now though. We used to play it in the playground when we didn't have time to do the 20min trek to our sports field!!! I liked rounders, it was the only game I was any good at lol I hated sport, still do.

I hate sport too Lyn. I couldn't really see well enough to be any good - now I have lenses I can see much better.

Here it is Krissy going back to my earlier comment----Rich Gossage that went to Wasson High in Colorado Springs, and thence into baseball and more recently, elected into the Hall of Fame as you can read about his varied career here----

Maryland's answer to Robin Hood!  Or should I say Maid Marrion, who got to messing about with bows and arrows.....
