SOFTBALL IS: Some people think softball is just a game...they are wrong. Softball is about reaching deep inside yourself to catch the ball that can't be caught...and to hit the pitch that can't be hit. It is about the soul. Softball is about bad hops, bad breaks, bad throws and bad calls. It is about striking out and making errors. It is about overcoming all of those things. Softball is about girls who become stars...stars who become heroes...heroes who become...LEGENDS.
