back on the pitch, stupid smile

For the series "until I see do not believe it," I wanted to wait for the completion of the first league game to write anything down. After months and months of nothing, changes, hopes, disappointments, wants to do, eventually, somehow, I did. I'm back on the pitch!

And as you can see from the logo (gibbato by signing Grazialk playit on forums), where the team play this year are as Savona Mariners. Indeed .. as well as player, since I have taken this route, I'm lucky to be able to make even the manager. I must say that this is all possible thanks to the huge availability and desire to do and Marco Flavio. I really want to thank them.

Yes, because in this offseason (I have not spoken publicly for various reasons that I am not to list) I tried to put together a new team from Genoa to the Serie C2. And in this attempt, narrowly missed, I found Flavio (director-manager of the Cubs Albisole) a very open person and determined to help to create a new reality.

In real baseball, but this is a little bit in all sports, the tendency is to look only to their own turf and not do much for the movement in general. I appreciated so much to see that there really is someone who believes it is important to give, in some way, a hand for you to be born and grow new teams and new players.

As I said, however, the project Genova Rookies (this is the name of the team that would be born) has not been possible (but not abandoned, eh! Say that at this time is "frozen" and this year it will work so that it can "thaw" for next season). So I did not think twice when the meeting of Liguria companies I met Mark and it is proposed the opportunity to work with him to pursue the situation with the Mariners Savona.

Well .. to be honest at first I was a little hesitant, because I was very upset because the Rookies were slowly decimated and I was a little disappointed because often you find yourself having to deal with people who tell you "there, there are ! " and then suddenly disappear. Fortunately, after the usual time "down" as soon as I could do some practice on the field, my mood has clearly turned upside down! :)

And then nothing .. back to the post title! I am happy because yesterday we played the first game of the season. From the organizational point of view it was a disaster, but in the end we went out there and we played a good game, considering it was the first (!) Once we were all together to play baseball. They gave us as a sacrificial victim, and instead we kept the game open until the end! Entertainment!

And then I got my first baseball game .. show that the role of Catcher. I feel I know and understand (and know how to do!) A hundredth of what I should, but I've already started working hard to try to recover. (In fact they are very slightly apart .. hehe ..)

I'm happy. And I found out why when I came to Genoa from the game, I was finally back on my idiotic smile on his face. It 's a nice feeling. Had been months since I had not.

Well .. cmq the road, as usual, it's uphill all the way .. There are so many (troppe!) things to work on to do well. We are clearly the underdogs in our group, we see what we can do! The space for fun and do a good season there, I can only say that as always I'll put all my energy, because this could happen!

And vai!
Go Mariners!
