Softball 2009

Korinne had her last softball game today. She had a great season. She played 3rd base most of the games. She loved stopping balls and getting players out. She also loved hitting that ball. I guess that I'm not a typical sports parent. I really don't care if Korinne's team wins or loses. I just want her to love playing and occasionally get on base. I loved when I saw her make those triples, but I still encouraged her when I saw those strike-outs. I must admit when words get tense and pressure is on - I want to take Korinne and head to the house. It was great to see her great sportsmanship. Her kindness to her fellow players made me smile. However, I also must admit that I told her that if she skipped playing next year I would give her the registration fee in cash. Those are long games and either cold/windy, or hot/rainy afternoons. But if she wants to play again, I will be right there cheering her on.
