Sorry for the delay, I've been typing since Wednesday morning, left-handed, because my right arm is out of commission.
The game started off strong. we were smoking the other team (who couldn't hit at all) and I'd made a few good stops in the field (and one put out on a kid going second to third which turned a routine 6-3 ground ball into a 6-3-5 DP. Bad base running).
Anyway in my first at bat I tried stretching a single into a double after a bobble in the outfield, git beat to the bag by the throw (a good three feet), and tried jumping over the tag, which, if it had worked would have put me in short center field, where I would have been out anyway, but I never made it, because their shortstop, an ogre of a kid swung the tag around at hip-height, taking out both my legs, up-ending me in the process, and sending me, shoulder-first, into the hard-as-concrete-painted-like-dirt infield.
I lost my glasses, and couldn't move my right arm. Took one pitch the next inning at first base (soft liner, right to me), then walked off the field, unable to throw, or hold a bat, or even lift my right arm.
I drove myself back, fearing a dislocated shoulder (not the injury as much as the repair), and went to the hospital.
x-rays revealed a distal clavicular fracture. No sports activities for 4-6 weeks. arm in a sling for at least two.
Hence, the left-handed typing.

bullshit. Next time slide like Ty Cobb.
I don't think you're taking this game seriously enough.
