Fan of: Softball! I am co-captain of a softball team, we play weekly in Prospect Park. We have brutally lost every game but our spirits are high and our hopes remain steadfast. I have realized quickly that my upbeat and lighthearted demeanor is not welcomed by many of our opponents. This week, a man brought a heavier bat (assuming from home) and hit the ball farther than I could have ever possibly imagined. What was the point of that?
