Favorite non-softball sport to play: Air hockey
Earliest baseball / softball / t-ball playing memory: The 1st yr. I played in a league I was 9 & was playing fast pitch softball in Wisconsin. They didn't have a catcher, so I suited up & played 2 yrs. at that position. Throwing down runners at 2nd was awesome! Before I joined a league I used to play home-run derby & 500 with my cousins a lot.

Favorite non-softball sport to play: volleyball
Earliest baseball / softball / t-ball playing memory: My first hit ever, in little league came when I was 9. We were hitting against these big green pitching machines, and I could never get the timing right, so I always struck out. It was very frustrating and the coach put me at the bottom of the order. So when that first hit came, I hardly knew what to expect. It hurt like crazy and only dribbled in front of the plate. But I took off for first and I actually made it, only to get thrown out later at second. My hand still hurt and began to change pretty colors and swell up. Turns out that first hit had been off my thumb, which promptly broke it. I was new to this whole "hitting the ball" thing, so I had no clue how it supposed to feel!
