More National Pro Fastpitch On TV -Attainable.

It has taken a long time and a lot of hard work to get women's softball in the spotlight. The 2015 Women's College World Championship Tournament proved a point to all who watch on ESPN that the women's games provide an exciting entertainment for all ages. The stands in The Hall of Fame Stadium were packed with a record crowd. Softball ratings on TV were bound to be higher and the social media channels were buzzing through the hold series of games.

So, what's the point in making this statement! Why haven't the National Pro Fastpitch Women's League been on TV more. It takes a lot of money to provide national coverage. It takes a lot of advertiser's to get involved. Advertiser's will go for the highest exposure for their advertisements.

20 of the best players from the WCWS games graduated from college and have been drafted by NPF.
18 players will be selected to make up the USA Softball Team. There are many highly skilled players who will not be able to play softball as a chosen career. They do not have the equal opportunity as the baseball players do. There is no room to continue to play unless the league expands.

There are ways to help promote the growth of the league and gain TV coverage.

Partnerships have been a great backing for the league. MLB has been a great partner with NPF. This and more partnerships geared toward advertisements will help pay for TV coverage.  ASA, and Independent leagues should Look into franchising a team in the NPF. Companies can partnership with NPF and create a budget for the TV coverage. Title Ix brought about a big change for women in sports. Now let the companies share some of their advertising dollars and help build the Pro Fastpitch League's TV exposure.

" A Kind Act is like a boomerang -it always Comes back"

" A kind act is like a boomerang it always comes back" How many times Have I found myself using this little quote on Face Book and Twitter. I love old sayings and I use them on social media. It is my new found place to learn new "techie" lessons. I actually started two years ago on Twitter. Margie Clayman was the first to share with me when I got bold enough to ask questions. Then the kind, gentle, person Dave Carpenter shared with the newbie. I followed them everyday and the methods they used. It was time to share something of my self. It was then I decided to share my large collection of old sayings which began with grandparents and parents.

Old sayings brought me re tweets, mentions, and followers. GrandmaONDeck followers began to grow. I learned to follow back. Not only that, I learned to share their messages, blogs and pictures. Then I noticed that many of those I followed had blog pages and newsletters. My old sayings were good but were they enough.

For quite some time I thought about many subjects and wrote about random memories, softball, art, and acts of kindness.  I was still not satisfied with what I had to say. I recalled the first time I discovered that seniors were being isolated and lonely. It was at the beginning of the retirement from my second career when I was severely injured on a airport transport. I found myself in a rehab hospital learning to walk again. My bedroom was in the nursing home section of the hospital. It is there I began to notice so many lonely seniors. I spent time with them but worried about them when I left the facility. When I went home I found myself somewhat isolated depending on others because I couldn't drive.

So "Don't Isolate Our Seniors" became my theme.  I want to research and share how we can reach our seniors with our new technologies. Here are a few of may blogs about Seniors:

Name That Tune For Seniors

Don't Isolate Seniors in Severe Weather

Senior Isolation Awareness

A Kind Act Through New Technologies.

Now with the new computer skills I have learned,  I have  branched out into researching and blogging so that I can reach out to seniors and keep them in the loop with new technologies. It has been fun joining a walk group, an art group, neighborhood care committee, and a neighborhood Bunco group.

I joined the Mt. Juliet Senior Activity Center where I live. I enjoy their activities and events. It was there I founded The Imagination Travelers Book Club. I enjoy my new founded friends. The Executive Director of the Senior Center asked me to serve on the Media Committee monitoring The
Center's Facebook Page. What a natural for me. My kind Act Boomerang has returned.
