Megan, the Human Shield

John's softball team had a game late last Tuesday night.  Megan and I went to cheer him on.  John's mom and aunt Susan came to watch too and we were sitting in the bleachers behind the backstop.  In one of the last innings, someone hit a ball landing on the net right above us.  The ump said something about running out of balls so someone from the Hoppers decided to throw his glove up at the net to knock the ball down.  Well, needless-to-say, the glove went nowhere near the net or the ball, and instead, headed our direction.  My first instinct was to run out of the way, which is what I did.  Val's, who was holding Megan, first instinct was to hold up Megan to protect herself.  Luckily the glove didn't hit any of us, but the whole game did come to a halt as everyone watched what was going on in the bleachers.
