I've been playing softball for about 8 years, and I've never been on a dominant team. What used to happen was I'd start off on a church team, and then as the season went along my team would get injured (because they are old) and I'd replace them with guys that were young and athletic. We'd be good, but just because we would run around like crazy. We had some good athletes, but most of them did not have baseball/softball as their primary sport. This was fun, but often frustrating when fly balls would be dropped into triples.
This year is different. We have multiple collegiate level baseball players as well as a bunch of good athletes. I played outfield in high school and I'm not one of the top 4 outfielders on our team. I have, however found my calling as a middle reliever for our stacked team.
Last night we were losing going into the 7th inning both games. We ended up scoring and winning both games. We didn't play our best, and didn't have some of our best players, but we still pulled it off. That brings our record to 7-1. Its a lot more fun being on the winning side of these games because I know the other side, from two years ago when the only time we didn't lose was when we forfeited.
