“Softball has been in my blood from a very early age allowing me to play the game I loved for nearly 50 years. I sacrificed many family functions, tried to always be a good teammate/competitor and learned many life lessons along the way. Softball has helped mold me into the person I am today and I wouldn’t change any of it. I’ve had incredible teammates and coaches throughout my journey and am honored to still call some of them friend.”
