The Philadelphia Force-Women's Professional Softball League

Sometimes my wandering has nothing to do with hitting the trail, but instead hitting the road. I had the pleasure of going to a Philadelphia Force Professional Softball game this past week. The Philly Force is a women's softball team that competes in the National Professional Softball League. The Force play in their own stadium in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The tickets are affordable ($14.00) and the food is good and cheap (2 hot dogs, soda and fries: $9.00), and the playing is top notch. The women pitch windmill style and the most famous windmill style pitcher, Jennie Finch, happened to be playing for the opposing team, the Chicago Bandits. Jennie Finch is a two time Olympian and an amazing softball player. Although the sky opened up on us, we had a great time and the Force beat the Bandits. If you are interested in meeting the players, you can stay after the game and each player will personally sign whatever you want for free! I encourage everyone to go and check out a game. Go PHILLY!
