Fun post. I remember you hitting a home run! I'm sure you've hit more than one, but the one I remember... We were in HS and you were moved up to Varsity Softball and you hit a home run down the first base line at an away game. You cried because you were so surprised and happy. Why do I remember this so well? Because I was jealous! :)
