The first thing one notices is the name on coming together,” he said. “It actually has been I think that gets us into the playoffs and at that the front of the players’ jerseys. amazing the past five games because I think we are point ... we would be in a great position.” The players decided on the nickname “Sons of Pitches,” a name they believe best identifies the team as one that truly loves the game of softball, said Heather Eslick, the team’s coach. She said the players didn’t go through a long drawn out process in deciding on a name. Instead they went to the Internet where they found quite a few options. Following a team vote, they settled on their team nickname. That wasn’t the first thing the team did to build continuity. The players got together about a month prior to the Fort Carson season and began bonding as a team. Eslick said the team spent the month of April practicing and, in some cases, scrimmaging in order to find out where they were as a team and what they needed to work on. Early in the season, the team’s strategy didn’t prove to be as successful as they hoped, with “ups and downs” in the month of May, said Aaron Creasman, assistant coach. “One (of) the problems we had early this year is we were gaining and losing a lot of people in the unit.

He dabbled a little bit in basketball but did not find that to his liking. Ford developed a liking for a professional and college team that may surprise people, based on their proximity to where he was raised. What is your favorite moment in sports? The best time I’ve ever had in sports was in high school when I was playing with a lot of my friends. We had a great time playing football and baseball. To this day, I really miss that. I just miss the camaraderie that we had when I was in high school playing baseball and football. What would you consider your favorite college sports moment? My favorite sports team is the Florida Gators and that is probably unusual for someone who grew up in Idaho. I was really happy when the Gators football team won the national championship in 2006 and 2008. I really think it’s great to be a Florida Gator (fan). What haven’t you done in sports but wish you could do? I’m not much of a home run hitter but its something I have always wanted to do. If there’s one thing in sports that I wish I could do more of, it would be to hit more home runs. I have hit one (home run) while playing softball, but I’m more of a line drive, base hitter type player. If you could meet one athlete who would you want to meet? Tim Tebow because he’s a Florida Gator, and I really like the way he carries himself both on and off the field. People who don’t know me would be surprised to know that … I am from a very small town in Idaho that is located about 60 miles from Boise. They would be surprised because my favorite college football team is the (Florida) Gators and my favorite professional football team is the Green Bay Packers. Both of those teams are a long way from Idaho so it would probably surprise people that they are my favorite teams.
