Do you have any superstitions and if so, what are they?
I have a lot, it might be more OCD than superstitions.

What is your most memorable softball moment?
Winning Back to Back B USSSA Worlds in 2010 & 2011 with AJS and Blitz/Watanabe.

As long as you keep score and there is a winner and loser, I don't really care what it's called.
What is the best improvement upper level softball could make?
What's wrong with it? If I had to make one change i guess it would be to go back to the double wall aluminum bats with .47 core (blue dot) balls. The feel of the ball on the bat was a lot better.

Cincinnati Metro
What is the funniest thing you have ever seen on a softball field?
A buddy of mine was kicked out of our game after absolutely blowing a gasket on the ump. He then proceeded up the stands and proposed to his girlfriend and now current wife.
