Its happened to me, more times then I could count. And it happened today.
I'm at a funeral home to visit some friends of mine whose father just passed. I am standing talking to one of my friends when a lady walks up to express her condolences. The lady has a cast on her arm and my friend says "I hope that's not your pitching arm" and she says, no but it is the arm my daughter pitches with. My friend says, oh do you you take it off and give it to her... ha ha...
So she laughs and then says, but seriously my dd is an excellent pitcher, at this point I am just listening. Out of no where she says "My dd's pitch was once measured at (I'm thinking to myself her it comes) 92 MPH. I actually chuckled and said you must mean 62 MPH. As soon as I started talking I started thinking shut up shut up shut up. But no I completed the sentence, to which she says, oh no it might even have been 95.
Do I shut up, no with nothing to gain I say, well the fastest pitch ever by a woman was in the Mid 70s. Again my inner dialogue is saying shut up shut up... And she says, no no she threw it in the 90s...
At this point I gained control of myself and said "Well you must be very proud"
