What's Your "Sanctuary"

I played little league as a kid, but did not play baseball in high school nor college. When I was 21 a co-worker asked me if I wanted to play in a men's baseball league and I said to myself "Sure - I'll try it for one year and see how it goes".

That was 40 years ago and I haven't missed a season yet. Still playing 60 and over baseball. Being on the field I don't think about work or other stresses. It's just you, hanging out with your friends, playing a kid's game.

I play in a regular local league, and also go to a tournament or two at the end of the year. Got to play on some cool fields like the Field of Dreams movie set in Iowa, and spring training facilities in Arizona. Going to Arizona next week for a week of baseball.

I probably shouldn't be sliding to break up double plays at this point in my life, but I'm going to do it as long as I can. Anytime I am on the field I enjoy being there and grateful to be able to head to the sanctuary for a few hours.
