Growing up, I looked up to major league baseball players, and now these young women have amazing, incredible women all across the board, from swimming to gymnastics to softball to basketball.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of using a bat with my own name on it.

It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come.

Got any pitches? I got five pitches-rise-ball, curveball, screwball, drop-ball and changeup.

I can't tell you how much I respect all the single parents out there doing it all solo.

Although it is disappointing that softball was not reinstated into the Olympics, we are going to continue to keep growing the sport.
