By Tori Uhland. . . . . . . . .Softball is one of my greatest passions...I live for it. Nothing in the world is better than those summer nights spent on the diamond underneath the night sky and the bright lights. The crack of the bat, the whoosh of the ball, the voice of the umpire, the beat of footsteps...music to my ears.

Pure Sound
Last night, I watched the movie "Trouble With the Curve". It's about baseball, and a Braves recruiter and his daughter that know more about the game than any other character. They went to recruit a big shot player, along with many other MLB teams. Everyone wanted him, but when it came time for the draft, the Braves' recruiter didn't want him. He pulled his hands and couldn't hit a curveball. When his bat met the baseball, it didn't make that pure sound that meant it was a good, solid hit. There are so many other details about the movie and I could tell the whole story but it wouldn't be the same. Sports really can teach you lessons, and baseball/softball is/are probably two of the biggest teachers. It's individual and team all in itself. The message that this movie put out there was that sometimes the biggest choices come from the tiniest details. You can't go completely based on what you see. You have to have heard that pure sound.
