Game Ball

**Disclaimer - I have looked at this situation as objectively as possible and I really think my view is justified**

On Saturday, Hannah played her second to last softball game of the season. This is Hannah's 2nd season of softball (although it was 2 years ago and with a different team).

She is not a star player.

But she goes out there and gives it her best every game.

This Saturday was VERY different.

• She caught a fly ball in the outfield (in which she jumped up and down after she caught it and almost dropped it).

• She had two other great stops in the outfield.

• She got on base both times up to bat (on walks).

The star players didn't have such a great game. In fact, several had a REALLY bad day!!

At the end of the game (at least at a Home game), the coach hands out the game ball to a player that had a great game.

I guess the coach wasn't pleased with their performance (they lost) and made the decision to not give a game ball.

Hannah wasn't the only player that made some great, unexpected plays. However, these players aren't the "stars".

I guess they don't realize how much a game ball would give hope to some of these new players that they too could be stars as well.

So Hannah....Here's your well deserved GAME BALL from Mommy
