Here you can see the blood on my knee.  During my first at bat I was rounding second and had no realized my sandals couldn't support me.  I came down gracefully on one knee but it gave me a nice big strawberry and began to bleed for the next two hours. I was pissed.  I mean here I am skating and wearing knee guards and never a problem.  I play softball for three hours and now I can't wear one pad because of the cut.  Grr...  I had to avoid the hotel pool after that and began the two day process of drying out my cut.  I haven't had a strawberry in ten years.  I forgot how aggravating they are.
