A traveling softball tournament that will make everyone in attendance want to stand up and cheer is returning to the Rocket City. The tournament, hosted by the Association of The United States Army is comprised of players who are all Wounded Warriors and combat amputees.
As reported by WHNT News, the inspirational tournament has visited the Yellowhammer state before. Retired United States Force Staff Sergeant Nick Bradley is a traveling member of the team. Touching on what it’s like to play in Huntsville he said, “You know it’s an unspoken bond really, and it’s amazing to get to come to a town that loves its military so much, that does have such a big military presence.”
While the conclusion of the game will be determined by the scoreboard, the real purpose of the tournament transcends balls and strikes. “While at the end of the game somebody will have more points than the other, everybody will win just because of the experience,” said Command Sergeant Major Billy Counts.
The tournament is set to place October 28th. The first game will start at 10:30 a.m. at the Metro Kiwanis Sports Complex. The public is invited to enjoy the day and admission is free.
