How did you get your start in softball and how did you get to the upper level?

What position do you play?

What batting grip do you use?

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.

What is your favorite non-World tournament?
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.
