Martens Mutterings: Priority? Fun over winning

So, I'm playing slo-pitch this year for the first time in many years. In the first game of the season, I had a couple poor hits, and a bobbled ball in the outfield. And I was mad at myself.

Our team played again last night, and in the 2 weeks we had off from ball, I did a little soul searching as to why I'm even playing.
