Special Olympics Softball Tournament In Faribault
Sixteen teams from throughout southern Minnesota were in Faribault Sunday to partake in a Regional Softball Tournament. The tournament features different skill levels with one division having some of the players use a tee or a coach pitch to them. The Faribault Flash did very well in the highest skills division where players also pitch. The Flash won both of their games. I got to send the teams off during opening ceremonies again and it's just an awesome event. I feel honored to participate with these athletes who approach the games with a passion that is lacking in some professional athletes. Opening Ceremonies included a police torch run and the singing of our National Anthem. I got to introduce each team and remind everyone to practice good sportsmanship on an absolutely perfect weather day. Thanks Special Olympics Faribault for asking me to participate again.
