Equipment for Team Sports

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

It comes as no surprise that one can find webpages with just about everything imaginable. (Some days it comes as a shock, but that's a whole 'nother post.) And, being an Internet shopping junkie, I know that it's not difficult to find all kinds of sports equipment online. I didn't know, however, that there was a site that taught about the sport, while it helped you find what you need to play the sport.

I wasn't looking for equipment and still spent hours reading about sports I'll never play or played very badly in the past. Did you know only batsmen and wicketkeepers get to wear pads and gloves? Cricket fielders have to run all over the field, trying to catch those hard balls with bare hands. Strike that one off my just-gotta-learn-to-do-this list!

To look at me, you probably wouldn't imagine my hands wrapped around a bat, squinting against the bright sun, and waiting for that perfect pitch. When I was younger, I loved softball. In fact, my favorite Fourth of July involved uncles and cousins and an impromptu game in the schoolyard behind our house. It didn't matter that I was a skinny little girl, not much bigger than the bat, -- I got a hit (off, what I'm sure was a generous pitch) and carried the memory of that small victory for years.

Golf Equipment

Over the years, I have watched a great deal of golf. (I have also watched professional wrestling, football, hockey, curling, boxing - a whole lot of sports, to say the least.) Amazingly, golf was always one of my favorites.

Most people I know find it boring, but to me it's fascinating. How these men and women take a bag full of golf equipment and do what they do, keeps me riveted to my seat. And the great shots aren't the only ones worth watching.

It's pretty easy for me to imagine having a crappy day, just like Phil Mickelson's been having. His round 2 score was a great -2. Unfortunately, rounds 1 (+9) and 3 (+6) were brutal. And Mickelson is not alone. The winds have been torturing players for three days.

Which makes Greg Norman's +2 after the 3rd round just that much more impressive. I may have to sneak a peak or two while I'm working tomorrow.

China Alleges New Olympic Terror Plot

Now, I'll admit to being a bit of a cynic and stories like this one just don't help. Given China's history...
