Batter Up

Per Rambler's Tale's birthday request, some friends from work and elsewhere met at Cages.  It's a restaurant/bar/batting cage combination.  When I was explaining the idea of batting cages to my Chinese coworker, she clarified, "You hit an imaginary ball, like Wii right?"  "Nope.  It's a real ball and bat."  Luckily for us, they had a range of pitching speeds and ball sizes.  This friend and I stuck to large softballs and slow pitching machines.  She didn't do bad for her first time ever.
