Tonight, it was a match-up of the two undefeated teams in the city of Tampa kickball league.

What started out as one team split into two after interest came to a head with about 50 players.

It was Chuck Norris (my team) versus the Ball Busters. Game on!

After seeing several Ball Busters playing with football receiver gloves last week, we knew we had to step it up a notch. (I have receiver gloves and would never have thought to use them for KICKBALL!)

Tonight, our team showed up with latex surgical gloves, burnt oven mitts, yellow Playtex dish gloves, worn tube socks, Everlast boxing gloves and anything else we could find to take the field with.

Jim the ump said he thought I might have some trouble catching the ball wearing my boxing gloves.

OK, so we didn’t actually play with our “gloves,” but we scored some serious style points.

And we also scored some serious runs, too.

At the end of the night, the Ball Busters were busted as Chuck Norris took the game, 8-1.
