For the Love of the Game

September 27, 2008 by Kyle.

What are you passionate about?

I’m very proud of this guy (my dad) who continues to play competitive softball in the senior leagues. He’s on the 80 years old and over team!

The only challenge is finding enough other 80’s teams to play against!

It’s fantastic to watch these grandpas out on the field with their back braces, knee braces, and ankle wraps. In spite of a little arthritis or knee replacement surgeries, they’re fierce competitors.

Maybe a little slower than they were 65 years ago when they played high school ball, but they still love the game.

Next time you’re complaining about being tired or a little sore when you get out of bed, remember these guys who travel across the country for one more chance to swing the bat and turn that double play!
