forced to change to softball she quit. She didn't want to play softball. She wanted to play baseball. I told her we could fight it, but she was little at the time. When we told her what all it would take to fight it she decided she didn't want to. She's older now and is much more of fighter now. If she was interested in playing baseball now I have now doubt she would fight for her right to play baseball.
