Softball Word Series ..... great games .

If YOU are NOT watching Ladies College Softball College World Series right now, you are missing out on the last bastion of genuine amateur athletics. Both teams are enjoying "the moment." They are serious, competitive, and the loser will shed some tears, but all of these gals have enjoyed a great four years of college. They are true, highly skilled and trained athletes, and, enjoying themselves. I love the emotion.

They are genuinely serious and want to win, and doing all they can to win, but enjoying the moment also. Most will graduate and go about their lives, a few will continue on in the game, but most have attained their goal of reaching the World Series.

This is the way that athletic competition should be, it is enjoyment for all, the fans and the players. Alabama has scored twice, Oregon is ranked Number One .... I think they just got robbed on a call at home, but in this game, a call is a call ....... no arguing. I don't think she touched the plate though.
