Kelly shared with us the poetic scene after USA lost to Japan last night in the softball finals. It seems that five of our players placed their cleats on home plate; I assume a sign of retirement. Then Mendoza came out with five buckets of balls and dumped them just as the Australian, Japanese and American teams came out to join her. They were spreading the softballs around and then everyone was privy to their sentiments of the disbandment of softball from future Olympics – the balls were formed into a huge 2016, then all the players began chanting – "Let's play softball."
