The 2023-24 softball season might end this evening. I hope
not - because it would mean Oklahoma had won another
championship - and give Mowins something to squeal about.
In hindsight, the Bruins had a great season, rising from the
ashes all the way to the final eight, and, in fact, the final six.

For reasons of personal inadequacy, quite often I can't tell
one player from another, especially when they are at the
plate. They all (almost all) look to be 5'6".
Softball, unlike basketball and football, is not a sport for
anatomical freaks. There are some women over six feet
(UCLA's Debbie Doom and Stacey Nuveman, Arizona's
Jennie Finch. Tennessee's Monica Abbott) - and a few that
are distinguishable by weight (particularly pitchers) -
but the majority resemble the kids I played Little League
with - except for the hair.
I am not a proponent of hair extensions down to the butt.
More common now in women's college basketball.
Nor a fan of sunflowers, like Florida's.
Inouye-Perez doesn't allow ribbons.
At one time, women's softball players wore shorts.
Not a good idea.
Once this series ends, I'm out until August. I sure
wish the Bruins were playing tonight.
___
Softball players, unlike basketball players, generally
don't trash talk or get called for flagrant fouls - if
you know what I mean.
___
I am proposing marriage later to day to Taylor Tinsley.
Wish me luck.
___
My father was stationed in England on D-Day.
