Last night around 9:45pm, I was near the phone bank and the biggest guy in the camp was standing next to me. Before yesterday I had never spoken with him before, but since he was on my softball team, we now have a bond. In fact, he had hit a good hit and I congratulated him on that hit. He played catcher for us, and knows all of the guys on my team since he speaks Spanish and is from DR similarly to the other team members.
It was then he looked at me and said, you are a good ball player…you are good! We smiled and I told him I could help him with his swinging.We patted each other on the back and kept smiling.
It was then that I realized this was in the presence of probably 25 guys in the cafeteria. He is 6 feet something, and 300 pounds and I am, should I say, small. He’s a real softy.
