I could not have asked for a better first time. I’m a 20+ year College Softball fan who has never been to a game. I fell in love with the sport when my daughter Harper was a baby. I watched my first game on TV in Orange Beach, Alabama. It was the College World Series on ESPN. It was hot on the pier and I volunteered to take the baby inside (air conditioning, snacks, and no in-laws). Arizona was playing someone and I was hooked. 21 years of watching TV and cheering for Alabama and being amazed by the drama in Oklahoma City at The CWS. Fast forward to Monday Night, my first game in person. It was everything I dreamed about. #4 Alabama beat #15 Georgia. I sat with Alabama SuperFan Emily Pitek Clifford. We cheered. We laughed. Lexi Kilfoyl pitched a perfect game. Ally Shipman hit a walk-off Home Run. It was a dream come true. My next goal. A week in Oklahoma City. – Jim Dunaway
