But she is a trooper. A few years ago I talked her into being on the roster for my co-ed slow pitch team. We were having a hard time finding extra female players and I figured she might work in an emergency. Sort of a "double-secret, last-resort, fill-in-the-gap, deep, deep, deep right fielder".

Her softball feats came up in a conversation after the season and someone asked her what position she played.

Before she could answer, I blurted out, "Warm body!".

Ignoring the personal slant, I always prefered FP (forfeit preventer) when I played that position.
