I really wanted / to enjoy the game more, but they would / not let me pitch because I couldn’t / throw the ball right. I always seemed / to end up in the backfield and I usual / ly missed catching the ball because I / was afraid of getting hit and hurt by / it. I liked being up at bat best of / all, but that was so seldom. I just / never was the sports or “Tomboy” type. / I guess I like being soft and feminine. / Men are so much better at sports and / it’s more fun to observe their bodies / when they’re playing."
