Those were the best days.

Trish Steed Waters Being a team player in sports allows

68. The Question was asked
What did you learn from Joe or Just playing Softball
Mary Hubley Heath I feel so blessed to have had the
childhood I had, playing lots of ball! Most of my
coaches, but especially Joe, taught good sportsmanship
above anything. I think it gave me confidence to try my
hardest all the time and to dust myself off and try again
when we lost. Priceless life lesson! Sorry I won't be able to
make it to Joe's celebration. Please send my love to him and
everyone.
Oh, and also, Coach Hubley says Hi! :-)
Trish Steed Waters That stereotypes aren't fact. That team
work is fun. That winning rocks! That for each bad day there
will be a good day.

my best shot regardless if I win or not and have a positive
attitude while doing it. Positive attitude makes all the difference
in the world.
Michelle Ballard Lewis I would say, never give up too. I had to
work hard to be good enough for one of his teams, but once I got
there, he worked my butt hard to keep me good enough and
make me better.
Cindy Slaughter teamwork & good friends.........
Jane Craig Corser
It's one of the reasons I am soo very proud and happy in my life
today, especially Richard & Bobbie Joe, they never turned anyone
away. Softball, by far, shaped me to the woman I am today and
I'm very proud of my success!
