Great American Past-Time

I coached girls softball for 20 plus years. What was I to do, I had 4 daughters? Now that I'm retired, I attend my grand-daughter's (Shelbi) games as a spectator and love it. Seeing Shelbi full of energy and competitiveness brings back a lot of good memories of her mother and aunts. Shelbi's mother, Kelly, was an awesome catcher. Her aunt Jessie was a pitcher with an outstanding record. Aunt Emily still holds the record for stolen bases. Aunt Ellen had the best eye of any batter there ever was! She still holds the record for most walks in a season. Shelbi is following the foot steps of some local softball legends! I think she may surpass them all in time.
