Above: Alex Lim started against the Hunters

By William on 21Jun10

After our little discussion on Sunday, it got me thinking about softball and life.

It's nice to be able to train really hard together as a team, play together as a team and hopefully win some games together as a team. I guess that's what folks term as team bonding.

And at times, it's not the results that count but the process of playing it and going through the ups and downs with friends, not just teammates, but friends, that makes it more satisfactory than the scoreline, or batting average, or number of homeruns you hit.

But unfortunately, we all are at different stages of life, not just compared to where we are 3 or 4 years ago, but even within team. Some have gone on to be fathers, some are going to get married, others are just embarking on getting employed and climbing the corporate ladder.

To ask each and every one to commit their time, and by that I mean real valuable precious weekend time with family/gf, to a pasttime/hobby/passion, is impossible. Each one of us have our own commitments and not all are willing or able to put softball that high a priority in life anymore.

There is no solution to this. We cannot turn back time, we can only move forward, hopefully as a team.
