Diamonds 💎 are a Girls Best Friend : Bruce Springsteen penned Glory Days back in 1984 and now the challenge is finding out what that day meant to folks and means to them now.

  So much of this story about a 40 year relationship with the game of Softball can be told without having to trouble people. But now comes the challenge of contacting people who I’ve never met and others that I haven’t spoke to in 10 years.

  The goal will be to contact as many former players and coaches from the two schools as possible. Present them with the opportunity to share their thoughts from 2015 as well as today. I have to understand that the level of interest will vary greatly from person to person.

Add in the bonus challenge of Maiden names and current names, depending upon marriage 💑 and the challenge increases. Thankfully, both Rick Nester and Alan Knight are on board with the effort so we have a fighting chance to include as many people as possible!

  If you are reading this and know someone who played or attended either Championship game that day, please encourage 🙏 them to reach out to me.
