Hey BB, I want you to know that this is one of the threads that I truly appreciate. I have a daughter who played softball from the time she was 4 through high school. she played select A level ball from the age of 8. We played everywhere from Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angeles over the years. Consistently in national tournaments. When the scholarship offers came in, she said nope, I'm through, but I still appreciate the game. We used to schedule vacations around softball tournaments. If nobody else cares about these threads, I do.
