I'm retired from racing. Really.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sure seems like the team you’re on wins most games. Are you the MVP? :)

No, I'm not the best. There are some darn good players, more consistent than me, younger, some better throwers, some better catchers. I'm pretty well rounded, though- fast enough to cover almost everyone on defense, lots of endurance for end of games, good catcher (except on the jumpballs, which I don't get into due to past injuries). My throwing is too sporadic, ranging from great to poor. That being said, I do track the scores for fun, and my teams win about 2/3 of the games. So if we were a baseball team, we'd be in the pennant race.

When I first started playing with this group 4 years ago, it was much more laid back- no one threw forehand, no one did stall count. I introduced both. But, over the past few years, we've increased the intensity, some of the weaker players stopped coming, and the new people are generally much better (and younger- hard to keep up with an athletic 23 year old). For a company lunch group, we're pretty dang good- in fact, a few joined the local city league as a team and won the tournament. I have an advantage as I've been playing off and on for 25 years (some in HS, lots in college, even more for the first 5 years after college, almost none for 8 years during my ultra career, then a lot the past 4 years) while many of the players are new-ish to the sport and still picking up on tactics and skills.

I'm just happy to have a fun group for regular games.

(That was a very long answer to a short question that I don't think even anticipated an answer)
