Our infield is some type of dirt- gravel...I play second base and dove for a short fly. The female umpire was looking for pieces of my skin the next 2 innings. She pointed to one on the ground but I didn't really care. I played the rest of the game, got 2 more hits and made a few putouts, but the aftermath is pretty bad for an old guy. We won the game.

Wow, sorry to hear about this... it sounds awful. I am no stranger to injuries... I blew out my ankle a couple of months ago playing soccer and then as soon as I got back a month later, got a concussion... doing better now, but it is no fun being injured. Probably age does have something to do with it, but it sounds like you've got a rough infield. Hope you feel better soon.
