I played baseball when I was younger, but the idea of the college scholarship enticed me to switch over to softball.
Besides music, I was all school, school, school. And softball. I played the game since I was four, and I wanted to go to the Olympics for softball. I got a full scholarship through softball.
Baseball wasn't necessarily my first sport in terms of liking it. I'd never played baseball or softball growing up.
I played softball for a few years growing up. Both my brothers played baseball.
I played baseball in college, and then I went to Russia to study acting and played some pro ball over there.
My college coach was a baseball guy. So why is no one questioning why a baseball player is coaching or analyzing softball when the reverse happens?
When I joined a baseball club, the boys of my own age, and a little older, played in the first nine, those younger than myself played in the second, and those still younger in the third, and I played with them.
Baseball is played by all countries now, and softball, too.
My dad was a baseball coach, and then I switched to softball. Baseball was all I knew until I crossed over. It never seemed like a big deal.
I went to college, George Washington University, and played softball there. I also played professionally but with the real goal of being an Olympian and making the Olympic team.
My baseball career ended in college.I played on the freshman team, but was becoming more drawn to intellectualism than athleticism, and so I gave up baseball, and it was perfect timing because baseball was going to give up me very soon.
My mom played tennis for, like, six hours a day and went to college on a tennis scholarship, because that was the way she could go to school. So they instilled in me the idea that you have to work hard for the things you want in life and never complain.
I've been an athlete my whole life. I've played every sport, including soccer, baseball, softball, basketball.
College was an experience I'll always cherish. Now I fund a scholarship at my alma mater in my late father's name-he'd laugh to know that it's a science scholarship, when I can barely do math! I also fund a nursing scholarship at the Oglala Lakota College in Kyle, South Dakota, in the name of my mother, who was a nurse.
I played Little League and in high school. I played more over the years whenever there was a pick-up game... usually softball.
In softball . . . , the softball gods giveth and the softball gods taketh away, but that evens out over the season.
My friends and family know I love playing baseball - Little League through college. And every year in the annual Congressional Baseball Game for charity played at Nationals Stadium.
