Softball Quotes and Sayings
And I could see the relief on my own 16-year-old daughter’s face. She’s a softball player, and she will not have to conform to the stereotypical view of what a female should be, of the unattainable body type that has been promoted for decades.
- Richard Lapchick
When we played softball, I’d steal second base, feel guilty [...]

“BALL” is like the stages in karate.
A white belt is T-Ball.
A purple belt is Baseball.
A BLACK belt is Softball.
Even though we all know softball cannot be compared to anything.

sofball is life without it, i don’t know where i’d be.
:] My dad, was the one the be there to cheer me on. I was the little girl growing up. Learning that you will not always play the spot you want. I was the little girl finding out that her real talents showed at shortstop and pitcher. I was the little girl, that whenever i saw a cute boy in the crowd, i didn’t try to clean up and get pretty, but i went out on the field and played my heart out and showed that cute little boy just how much dirty i can stir up. I still am that little girl, it doesn’t matter how many times i slide, how many balls i hit, how many times i get dirty, or hurt, how many cute guys i see, i will always live my life to softball and nobody can take that away from me. I’m now the young lady that walks into restraunts with my softball uniform on bad body oder and a big line of dirt across my ass. I’ve came a long way from that little girl that loved to play dress up, the girl that thought dressing up in high hills and pretty pinky dresses was fun
now, i’m totally different..
wanna get to know me more..
message me.

The thrill of letting go of that third strike, the victory, must not and cannot be questioned
Softball girls feel comfortable walking into a restaurant, wearing dirty softball pants and a shirt, but are less comfortable walking into a restaurant wearing high heels and a dress. It’s the love of the game. We don’t cry, we rub dirt on it, and walk it off. We don’t complain, we work harder. We don’t eat some fancy french food, we eat hamburgers and fries. We don’t keep clean, we slide in dirt. We are fastpitch girls.

the best player isn’t always the one who stands out and hits big. but its the player who is the one who does things without taken the credit and does their job and loves the Game!

Baseball and softball are diffrent in so many ways. But the thing is, in softball you have to play like a girl. That is if you want to.

when i was little i was always shy.
i was always afraid of the great things in life.
my older sisters played softball, while i sat there still and didn’t really talk at all.
i finally saw how fun it was to get out there and show your stuff.
the next time the season came around, there i was…. ready.
so i signed up and practiced hard, turns out, i was cleanup.
now that i’ve gotten older i’ve been told i’ve got a talent.
“you can’t just leave it on a shelf”, my dad tells me, always by my side to encourage me.
everytime i step on the field, there he is to comffort me.
he is like a dad/coach……
sometimes i don’t know which one he really is.
he ALWAYS pulls through.
he coaches me on my pitching and batting, he never doesn’t point out what i’m doing wrong.
softball is now my life.
i really don’t know where i’d be without it.

THE TYPICAL GIRL FAST PITCH SOFTBALL PLAYER
At one time, she looked cute as a button, dressed in pink with ponytails
with visions of Alice in Wonderland. She played with dolls, helped mom
bake cookies, and has probably earned a few bucks baby-sitting. She has been,
and always will be daddy’s little girl.
She still has all those little girl attributes. The only difference
is now she looks cute dressed in sliders and shorts. If she is wearing
ribbons in her hair, they are team colors. She still bakes cookies … team bake sale.
And she has probably earned a few bucks … at the team car wash. Now she is, and
always will be daddy’s little second baseman (or insert position of choice).
She takes pride in how much dirt she can collect every weekend. Go to dinner
on a night that she is not playing and it takes an hour of primping to get ready,
and she still feels self-conscious. Go after a game and she’ll walk right
into a restaurant with a streak of dirt across her forehead, ratted hair,
stained shirt and brownish/white socks. Or brown toes with sandals! Let’s EAT!
She is ready and willing to play at the drop of a hat! If she can get away
with it, she will play on two teams. (In the same day no less) She has a huge
wardrobe: plenty of tournament shirts and shorts from all the teams she has
played on. Her parents do her school shopping every weekend at the
tournament T-shirt booth. When you say, “wear something nice”, she
thinks it means a tournament shirt without dirt stains.
She needs to get an athletic scholarship. Her parents have spent $100,000
on camps, private instruction, batting cages, gloves, bats, equipment,
uniforms, player fees, concession stands, travel and lodging. THEY’RE BROKE!!!
She is a fierce competitor, willing to stand in against a fast pitcher at
close distance that even pro baseball players would have trouble hitting!
And she might be 5′2″ and 100 lbs. soaking wet. She might play first or third base
at 20 feet from home plate, saying I dare you to bunt … drive one down my throat!!!
She has more spirit than maybe any other team sport. At least it sounds that
way. Softball is the only sport where a girls ability to cheer sometimes
effects roster decisions. She can’t bunt or hit, she is a liability in the
field … but she cheers constantly!
She is playing the game for all
the right reasons! SHE LOVES IT! She could hang out at the mall, stay home and
watch TV, or spend her summers at the pool. Instead she has a tight schedule
with limited free time, hangs out on the practice field with a coach in
her face, and spends her summers getting baked on a 95 degree field with
no shade. Maybe we should get some of our kids checked for IQ?
She has her priorities in order: Tournaments, League Games, Team Practices,
schoolwork, individual practice and batting cage, family, private softball
instruction, church, conditioning, softball camps, boys. (Maybe church comes
before the batting cage.) At least on Sundays.
She is diligent and hardworking. She knows you get out of something, what you
put into it. She is not the type of kid to take the easy way out! She is
competitive, not willing to give up. She learns many valuable lesson
during the course of her softball career, like:
You can stay at Holiday INN for $12 bucks a night if you are willing to go 4 to a room.
Hotels don’t monitor pool usage, and you can go swimming anytime, whether you are a registered guest or not.
Continental breakfast means: 3 bowls of cereal, bagel, 2 donuts and 4 glasses of OJ.
Unlike the geographically challenged, softball girls know how to get from home to every field in a 25 mile radius.
Last years sunflower seed that she found in the bottom of her bat bag aren’t too bad if she washes them down with enough Gatorade.
Never wash your socks when you’re on a winning streak!
Never wash your socks when you’re on a hitting streak.
Never wash your socks after you’ve scored the winning run, scored any run, or were close to scoring a run.
Never trust a mother who says she won’t wash your lucky socks.
She has a lot of fun every summer, enough to make her come back next year regardless of all the sacrifices,
the money, the occasional bad coach, the occasional injury, drinking water that people have put their hands in, etc.
But first and foremost, the Typical Girls Fast Pitch Softball Player is somebody’s little girl!

“A true champion is someone who wants to make a difference, who never gives up, and who gives everything she has no matter what the circumstances are. A true champion works hard and never loses sight of her dreams.”
- Whitney
“I was devastated, obviously. I was very disappointed. There is not much more we can do right now but strategize and try to fight to get softball back into the games.”
- Mike Candrea
“Some how, some way, some day, I will, represent my country and play fast pitch softball in the World Olympics.”
Jamie Gray.
