A sample: "For Kansas City Diamonds outfielder Cori McMillan, softball has been everything to her. “It gives me a safe space to feel every emotion possible,” McMillan said. “It’s an outlet for everything.” "For 16 years, the game has been the place where she could leave everything behind and simply compete between the white lines. Through the highs, the slumps, the pressure and the success, softball has become both her passion and her peace. “It doesn’t matter where you start,” McMillan said. “You can finish wherever you want with your work ethic.” "From an unranked recruit in North Carolina to a professional softball player, McMillan has built her journey through persistence, belief and constant growth. “I want younger players to see that this game can still be fun,” McMillan said. “That’s the whole point.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wishing Cori the year that she deserves! "Have fun, kid'" as her granddaddy would say.
