I'd like to encourage you guys to take in the Women's College World Series, where you'll see the Washington Huskies battle the Florida Gators for the national championship. It's a best of 3 series that starts tonight (Monday) on ESPN2 at 8pm.
Florida is simply amazing. Their record is something crazy like 64-3 on the year - that's whack! Washington is gonna have their hands full! Florida beat Alabama to advance to the finals on a walk-off grand slam (bases loaded home run), which was incredible!
As you're watching, you can learn a lot from all of these girls - both teams have some really talented players, and you can learn how to play the game hard, how to hit, what to do in situations, how to field properly, and how a team encourages and supports each other, all from watching these girls play. They are amazing athletes - Check them out!

what about Alabama replacing a 4 time All-American with a frosh who hit a grand slam.....now that takes guts by manager.
The thing I loved about it (just as much as seeing some awesome "nerve" by a freshman in a pressure situation in a big game/venue) was how Brittany Rogers (the senior All-American that was being pinch hit for) stood at the top step of the dugout cheering her heart out for her teammate to make something happen for their team. Too many players pout and hang their face and send out all kinds of negative vibes when they get replaced or subbed for. Not Rogers, she was there on every single pitch doing whatever she could from the dugout to support her teammate that was brought in from the bench to hit for her. That was so great to see! That's what everyone should be doing from the bench. That's what every player should do at any given time - ANYTHING and EVERYTHING they can to support and help their team, no matter what the role, starter or not.
