Pro softball sucks. College is the pinnacle. Of course I say that as someone who doesn't give a flip about international play/Olympics. Technically that's the best players in the world. Japan has pro softball leagues where the best Americans have played for years. But college is the only softball that holds any interest for me. There's just something about pro ball that is sterile and just not as exciting. And in America, the issue is lack of continuity in leagues. Teams fold/reform all the time, leagues come and go, etc.

The other thing for me is, of course, having a kid who played in college. She's got a tie to several of the pitchers at the world series this year. The Trautwein girl for OU transferred from North Texas. She's the same age as Caitlin. First weekend of Caitlin's career in February 2018 at a tourney in Monroe LA, she beat Central Arkansas 3-1 in her first start and lost to North Texas 5-3 in her second start. The pitcher for UNT? Trautwein. It was her college debut.
