Even the Best Fastpitch Players Weren’t Always the Best Players

Take heart in knowing that even some of the best who ever played the game started out just like you – fighting for scraps and working their way up the depth chart.

As I write this, it’s the best time of the year for fastpitch softball fanatics. The NCAA Division I tournament is underway, and the airwaves (or cable waves) are filled with a seemingly endless diet of games.

You can hardly swing a dead cat without coming across a game somewhere over the next few weekends. That’s good news for the families of younger softball players, because it gives them a chance to see how many of the top players play the game.
