My glove and ball are always in the car, never know when a catch can come along.[/QUOTE]

I think that's the secret, to always have your glove (and ball) in your vehicle so that you are ready if and when the opportunity presents itself. In fact I still have an extra Rt hand glove AND a Lf hand glove so that no one has an excuse to not want to give it a try.
It really is surprising how difficult it is to find used gloves for sale. Nobody seems to want to give them up once they are well broken in. At one time I had a little collection and even picked one or two up on Ebay.
New gloves can be expensive but they do occasionally come up on sale.
Having taken my gloves with me on a trip to Cuba I realized how fortunate we are where the Cubans have to share gloves to play a game. But they love it, so I left gloves with them. Much appreciated.

Who knows, you might be at the cottage/summer place. or at a car show or any place where some like minded person might be looking for a bit of physical activity.

I totally agree on the possibility of damaging the rotator cup and for that reason I've always started off real slow after being away from it for a while, even to the point of not getting any more than 15 or 20ft apart at the beginning.

But it is surprising how much fun and how much of an upper body work-out you can get once you're into it.

My problem is finding a like minded person nearby that wants to do it on a regular basis.
Gee, I might have to take up tennis instead.
