I was the captain of the latent paranoid softball team. We used to play all the neurotics on Sunday morning. Nail biters against the bed wetters, and if you’ve never seen neurotics play softball, it’s really funny. I used to steal second base, and feel guilty and go back.

Softball quotes - Jennie Finch

Linda Sanchez quote about softball

I’ve used my experience from playing sports in almost every aspect of my life. Playing soccer is where I found my voice, and playing softball was where I learned precision, and in every game I learned to play as a member of a team – to work not for my own glory, but for a shared goal.
