Throwback Thursday!
My parents always let my sister, Catherine, and I try out different activities and sports. When we were kids at some point we did just about everything- jazz, ballet, cheerleading, soccer, swimming, softball, etc. Nothing really stuck long for either of us until I got into softball and Catherine got into cross country.
When I was 10 years old, I turned to my dad and said "I want to play softball." Next thing you know, I was down at South Montgomery Girls Softball League (SMGSL) trying out for the 10 & under team. Thus started my six year stint of playing softball. I always had so much fun, but I was never that great. I remember striking out a lot, but getting a few good hits here and there. I also remember missing a lot of catches, but when Catherine and I played each other I caught her pop fly and I was on top of the world!
The first team I was on, The Heat, won first place in our league and I got a huge trophy that I still have in my room at my parents' house. In following years I played on the Lady Titans, the Vipers, and a few other teams whose names I forgot. I also played on a tournament team one summer with Catherine. While I was a bench warmer about 80% of the time, I really enjoyed spending the time with my sister and my dad, who helped coach.

| I'd like to think that this was a home run swing. |
I'd like to think that this is a post ball throwing movement and not just me acting a fool...
but knowing me, that's exactly what I was doing. Why the hell was my hat on backwards?!
