Is there anything better than spring softball? Maybe summer softball? Fall ball? I mean, we could probably all come to the consensus that softball in general is perhaps the best sport to play. And yes, I'm totally biased, but I can't help it that I'm spitting straight up facts.
These shirts are a celebration of softball and they're cool. I tried to get the best unisex vibe I could so softball players everywhere can enjoy a softball shirt. Plus skulls, mandalas and daisies are also cool, so it shouldn't be terribly difficult to choose at least one.
Alright. Back to me being biased.
Every single summer for the past almost 10 years I drag my aching body out to the local park twice a week and try my hardest to play softball without seriously hurting myself. Sometimes this is a failed mission, like 2 years ago when I pulled BOTH OF MY QUADS running as fast as I could to first base... or the year before when I learned that you can just pull BOTH OF YOUR GROIN MUSCLES also running as fast as you can to first base. Knock on wood that I don't repeat either of those thanks to stretching and not running faster than my body can handle apparently.
I'm strictly an outfielder, with center right being my favorite position to play. I like to play in a little bit when I can, closing up that gap right behind second base. I'm also very particular about not losing my teeth to a softball; over 30 league and up, but some of these women can hit the softball faster than I can even imagine. It feels safer in the outfield and maybe one of these days, I'll be able to accurately figure out where the ball is actually going to land before I need to panic at the last second.
Softball is the most fun you can have while simultaneously trying to always hit deep into right field (a skill I will master this year) and not hurting yourself. You can often find me singing whatever the song of the day ends up being and giggling to myself while waiting for the ball. It's definitely my happy place. Being on the latter end of my 40's and still running around like a teenager is one of the little joys I will hold onto as long as humanly possible.
Plus I have to play until I hit at least one home run. I have it in me. I know it. Then maybe celebratory margaritas and middle fingers to no one in particular as I ponder retirement.
Either way, I combined all the things I love along with softball, which brings us to the 2 different skull styles and mandalas and daisies.
Check them out and wear your softball pride literally on your sleeve.
Best sport ever.
