Soccer is the world's sport. No one cares about softball but the USA!!! I love softball too and played for 10 years. Batting champ one year after I married my wife. She had no idea how good I was. We played in Whittier. BTW, this was big time softball with ex college baseball players and those who coudn't make the pros. I was so good, I was invited by invite only to be on an elite travel softball team and we went to a Vegas tournament. I was well on my to being a pro but my freaking lower back gave way. This is a true story. I was playing in a league and my wife was pregnant with my first born son. I was playing ss and made a throw and threw out my back. It was last inning and we were down two runs. Two outs and bases loaded and guess who is up. I could not walk at all. I was losing all power in my legs and I was going to freeze up but I came to bat anyways. I ripped a liner up the middle and was called out at first from center fielder and we lost. After that, I went to the ER and it was Morphine for three days. I quit after that and retired at 33.
