There was a point were this story almost didn’t get written.
The Florida Gators softball team won the 2015 Women’s College World Series on Wednesday June 3, 2015.
They returned home to a national championship celebration on Thursday June 4 and the sports world (at least as it’s confined to Gainesville, Florida) picked up exceptionally the next morning.
With recruiting camps to cover, and baseball facing off in the Super-Regionals and every other day-to-day activity that pops up, the timeliness of this story allowed me to push it to the back burner again and again. Knowing that fans would be celebrating and therefore reading about the Gators back to back championships for a few days, I wasn’t worried about rolling this out right away, and as things do, the days piled up until it almost seemed unnecessary to even write it anymore.
