8) Better than doing chores at home.
7) Guys like to watch girls get dirty.
6) The need to take my aggressions out on a
defenseless ball.
5) Farmer tans are sexy.
4) It’s either this or play
another sport (there is no contest).
3) Nothing feels better than a line drive past the
infield.

morning.

Play for him/her!
Somewhere behind the athlete you have become,
Behind the hours you have practiced,
The coaches who have pushed you,
The teammates who have believed in you and,
The fans that have cheered for you,
is the little girl/boy that threw that ball the very first
time and
Fell in love with the game of softball,
Play for him/her!
**************************

I hit!
I bunt!

**************************
It doesn’t matter if you are good or bad!
All that matters is that you love the game!
**************************
Fastpitch softball……No glove, no
love.
**************************
Fastpitch softball….It’s not just a sport, it’s an obsession!
**************************
I Live for this!
The batter steps up to bat,
Batting gloves tight around the bat,
The Pitcher grips the ball,
As sweat dribbles down their face.
The dirt crunching beneath their cleats.
The fans holding their breath for what is
going to happen next.
Softball…… I live for this!
**************************
Life is full of risks!......You
can’t steal second with one foot on first!
**************************
Talent gets you nowhere in the world without your
teammates!
**************************
Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it
happened!
*********************
Never let the fear of striking out
Keep you from playing the game!
*****************
Offence sells tickets, defense wins games!

I Just Play!
I don’t wear no mini skirts,
I just wear my softball shirt.
I don’t play with Barbie Dolls,
I just play with my bat and balls.

“We may have lost the game but, the true winners are
inside us”
***************************
You Scan Me!
You think that I’m just another pot-smoking teenager!
Well, you’re wrong.
The last thing that I got high on was the adrenaline
of a softball game.
Last thing I smoked was a batter that was unlucky
enough to face me.
Last time I took a hit was when I didn’t catch the
ball.
DRUGS AREN’T ME.
My life, my decision.

Softball Uniform--$ 90.00
Bat--$ 200.00
Glove--$ 100.00
Cleats--$ 80.00

The feeling of hitting your first homerun or taking
home the First place trophy...
PRICELESS!!

The Orleans Elite
were still in existence with the baby blue mesh jerseys.
A foul ball on the left side of the diamond would hit skate boarders and not
tennis players.
The countless amount of fires destroyed the score keepers box.
Playing on an all gravel infield was a standard.
Standing in the rain when the dugouts didn't exist.
A season has not gone by in which the bunker did not have to be painter do to
vandalism.
When house league used to consist of more than 4 teams.
When Rep teams had an Ottawa Valley league to play in rather than travelling
down the 401 for regular season games.
When there were actual tournament winners and losers, not just friendly
participants.
When the Easton Blackmax bat was the hottest alumium bat on the market, costing
only $49.99 as opposed to a the current $500 bats made of NASA spaceship
technology.
