I asked the group of them if they were always the best player on their LL or HS team, and they all nodded.  This was about 20 of them.  They weren't bragging, and they nearly all played other sports.  Tom Glavine was drafted by the NHL.

FTR, the WCWS was held at Golden Paark, Columbus, GA, in 1996. Golden Park, a 1925 baseball stadium rebuilt several times, was preparing to host the softball games for the 1996 Olympics.

Columbus is directly adjacent to Fort Moore (nee Fort Benning), so I spent some time in its fine establishments like Ranger Joe's. Never saw Golden Park, though.

There is an armor museum down that way I'm keen to seeing.  My wife not as much.

It's weird thinking of armor at Fort Moore (nee Benning). It was the Infantry Center and Fort Knox was the Armor Center.
The Patton Museum of U.S. Army cavalry and armor history is still at Fort Knox.
The U.S. Army Armor & Cavalry Museum is at Fort Moore. But according to the U.S. Army Center of Military History, it is not open to the general public. So you should probably check on that before you go. However, the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center is located in Columbus right outside the post and, best I can tell, is open to the public.

Texas A&M beat #1 Texas tonight in Game One of the Austin Super-Regional of the NCAA Softball Tournament.

Duke beat Mizzou in Columbia. I like Duke softball. My esposita and I stayed in the same hotel with the Duke softball team in L.A. in 2022. The Dukies (Dukettes?) got eliminated by U-Dub as I recall.

Tennessee beat Bama in Knoxville. Florida beat Baylor 4-2 in Gainesville. Oklahoma State run-ruled Arizona in Stillwater. All of these were Game Ones. Stanford was supposed to be playing LSU in Palo Alto, but I don't have a result for that game.

UCLA beat Georgia in L.A., punching its ticket to the WCWS.

OU beat Florida State in Norman, punching its ticket to the WCWS, which will be held in Oklahoma City, giving OU and (presumably) oSu an unfair advantage.
