CrossFit Baseball is a fixture of many CrossFit Affiliates and I believe it was “invented” at Brand X, the CrossFit Kids HQ. It is a lot of fun, not to mention, ummm, a really good workout. There will be a winning team. See Keith’s face? That is the look I want on my team’s face. Keith is attempting to avoid earning a penalty from Dave during a very difficult workout. It is also something that we can scale to accommodate non-CrossFitting friends and family. We are playing Friday night July 31st at 5:30. I need 4 Team Captains… and I need RSVPs so that I can get everything set up. Afterwards we will cool off with a hot summer treat-COLD, JUICY, DRIPPING, SWEET, FRUIT. Bring some fruit and some beverage (the non-fruit kind are totally acceptable). I will make some Paleo-dips for fruit. I hope we see all of you there!
Keith is Fierce!
I don’t know how crossfit baseball is played, but I would really like to learn. Unfortunately I have to work on July 31st, so hopefully there will be another oppurtunity to play.

For the record I missed the mark by 2 seconds and got the penalty…a quote from Animal House came to mind “Thank you sir! May I have another?”
That was the round where I didn’t fall off the rowing machine mid-stroke and still have my feet locked in…umm, maybe I ought to practice this whole rowing thing a bit
The workout rocked, thanks Dave.
Hi Everyone, Karen I miss you workout buddy, hope you we can workout together soon!
Briar, I am struggling a bit with callouses and blisters as well. For now I am using gloves just for pull-ups, it helps a little but it also makes them harder. I do a few scrub treatments at the ranch and try and use the products on my hands whenever I can to wear them down. No one has said anything yet, just doing the best I can with the situation!
Awwwwww, PLEASE post photos! I’ll miss it! Have a flippN sweet time!
PS: Got work again that night, well every Friday night for that matter, (Carl, I even tried yesterday to get it off and I am already booked with requests). I hate to miss all the fun and a great group workout, oh well, got to earn a living.
Count me in!
Nikki, do you work at Canyon Ranch? Do you know Tony?
Hi Nikki, I miss you too. I will be there at 9 in the a.m. hopefully you will be too. I use the pedegg to scrub my callouses, it works well for me.
I am so there and playing baseball all out. I was never very good at sports so I absolutely love this crossfit version. Go team Ellie!!
P.S. I don’t get a chance to come in in the mornings so I never see Jenny but we want to go back to the fire station. Is there a chance Jenny will be working any evening classes this week or next so I can be sure and be there?
EA
Jenny has been out of town. Back next week. And, was that you volunteering to be a Team Captain?
Hey Christine,
How many people do you have going to the Salt River with you? I am going to try and convince Ron to take the day off but I am not sure we can get away, it sounds like fun!
Hi Shannon, yes I work at Canyon Ranch, are you speaking of Tony E the massage teharpist or Tony from crossift??
Hi Nikki, yuppers that would be Toni E the massage therapist. If you pass her by tell her Hi for me.
Briar,
Well right now its a pretty small group, just 6 or so of my friends. You guys should definitely come!

From the looks of Keith I’m glad Dave didn’t talk me into staying!
Mary and I are in for some baseball… do you still need captains?
Yes, I still need captains. So far I have Team Ellie and Team Pekas (that did seem like you were willing to volunteer).
I reckon so! Go team Pekas!
I miss Dave’s workouts. But I’m back now so I’ll be there on Wednesday! Darn, can’t do baseball night. I’ve already cancelled too many Friday night salsa classes, can’t do too many more. Have a great time everyone!
