Staring out at an empty Mizzou Softball Stadium, another season officially in the books, there were a flurry of emotions running through my mind, but the overarching one was this— gratitude.
How lucky was I that I got to cover this team and this senior class? That I got to attend weekly press conferences and get to know such in-depth information about the 22 young women who made up Team 50, the winningest team since 2011? That I got to watch games and commiserate with some great sportswriters in (with the exception of the postseason) a closet-sized press box?
