A beautiful day for softball. An enthusiastic capacity crowd at your home ballpark. An opportunity to win a championship. You couldn’t have asked for much more than that Saturday (Aug. 24), if you were the Chicago Bandits or a fan of the National Pro Fastpitch team. Well, other than a victory. The Bandits, who entered […]
One of the benefits of being self-employed is being able to have some control over opportunities to be enjoyed. Such was the case once again Thursday (June 13).
