Fall is the time for the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah. Senior athletes from everywhere converge on Utah to strut their stuff in the relm of senior sports. Everything from lawn bowling to senior softball. For the second year, I had the opportunity to make the trip to Utah with a 55+ woman's softball team. This year, I played with The Village Vixens from Florida. A great group of gals who enjoy softball. Some actually refer to themselves as "softball whores". Playing with more than one team and traveling as often as the tournaments allow. These women come from every profession under the sun, but with the common love for the game of softball. We played on Monday in the round robin portion of the tournament, winning two of the three games for the day. These results placed us in Div. II with three teams from Canada! On Tuesday, we came out on top, defeating two of the three teams landing in the winner's bracket! The thrill for me was hitting my very first ever home run! A clean deep bomb over the left fielder, which continued to the fence. Somehow, I managed to chug my way around the bases, only to be greeted by the team chanting "superstar". What a thrill! For the tournament, I played 1st base, which was new for this 3rd base person! I'm not sure I'd be another Prince Fielder, but it was great fun. It's a gumby position for sure. The third day was the battle for silver or gold. We met the team from British Columbia and managed to win 14-3. The gold was ours!
