Favorite Quote

All of the days spent on the field, crazy parties I missed, weekend hang outs blown, hours of hard work, tons of sweat, late night trips home, at times wanting to give it all up, being on the road for your birthday, leaving the day after Christmas for some tournament, blood shed, broken bones, HEART & SOUL (even blood & guts), trying to explain your game to your friends who have no idea what you’re talking about, basically giving up your life for one game.... And would I change any of it? NO WAY!!! Why?? Because there’s no better feeling in the world then when you come back to the bench and your family... not your parents, but your 23 sisters who are there to congratulate you, after a big hit, or a great play in the field, or a stolen base, even a sac bunt, sac fly out... Everything you succeed in to help the team. It's ALL worth it because of all the memories we get and the fun we have.... The friends we make, the bonds we strengthen, the family we form, something that can never be broken, SOFTBALL... That’s why I do it. It’s my life
