The past 2 years, I played intramural softball at school with some other folks in the CS department. Perhaps you remember our jaw-dropping upset against the dreaded Beta frat last year? One of the drawbacks to no longer being at school is that I don't get to do intramural sports anymore.

But luckily my company takes part in the Kansas City Corporate Challenge, in which local companies compete against each other in sports ranging from track and field to basketball. There just so happens to be softball in the Corporate Challenge, so this past Tuesday I went to tryout for our team.

Being that I work for a software company, I figured that this team would be a lot like the one I played on last year, but I forgot that we also have a bunch of sales and marketing folks. As such, the tryout consisted of almost 50 guys trying out for 8 spots, and most of them played college baseball at major programs like Georgia Tech.

Needless to say, I think I'd have a better shot of making the Royals than of making the softball team.
