You ever talk to friends or other family members about softball? When I tell people we get to the park at 7 or 8AM and may not leave till 11PM or later, they think we are nutz. I told my mom we left at 11:30 last night and got home around 1AM, she questioned me.
Then when I tell people about practice, pitching/hitting lessons, rec games, they are convinced we (me and my wife) are crazy
Do you get the same response? I dont deal with too many people outside of softball but when I do, thats the typical response.

The people that don't get it, were never athletes.
You should try living with my husband, he never threw a ball in his life.
Remember all of the people that couldn't understand why Kerri Strug, US Olympics 1996, completed her vault?

We played a double header yesterday and the game time starting temp was 38 degrees and a wind chill that was 32. DD started OF first game and in the circle 2nd. In the circle and she "can't pitch in pants." Sooooo, no pants. I thought we (Parents) were crazy. I thougt coaches were crazy. I know DD IS CRAZY. However, 10 ks and W so I'll forgive her.

It was a great day when I retired and could get away from those who do not appreciate this game.
