Ball Games - Sepia Saturday

I knew what I was going to post as soon as I saw this week's prompt:


I played cricket for many years but I've only watched one game of baseball.

Baseball - Dearborn, Michigan 2006

Earlier that summer we visited England's north-east coast and came across a cricket match in progress in the shadow of Bamburgh Castle.

 I've also played a lot of tennis but was never good enough to beat my daughter even when I was fit.

Beaten again - Sveti Stefan
Playing tennis indoors on hard courts didn't help my knees so I turned to golf at the late age of 50. As an active hockey and cricket player I had always told my golfing friends that any b....! fool can hit a ball that stays still.

 I was recovering from minor surgery at the time that I took that shot of two of my golfing partners.

 I also have to admit that my daughter also beats me at golf although she only plays a few times a year.

Finally here's the family's current sporting star.
