SEBEWAING — In 1960, the Gettel’s softball team of Sebewaing won the Class C fastpitch state tournament in Petoskey.
Since then, some of the players moved away, some never played another game of softball and some have died. But when the remaining teammates get together in the same room, the years wash away and the stories start flooding back as if a day hasn’t passed.
They swap stories of their experiences in the service, tell tales about other softball adventures and update each other on the whereabouts of former teammates — all while making sure plenty of good-natured ribbing is dished out.
Mlive.com provides some great coverage of men’s fastpitch, including, of course, writer Geoff Mott’s coverage of last year’s ISC World Tournament in Midland Michigan. Geoff Mott, Writer, Mlive.com, The Saginaw News
