inspired by the lovely @mistletoenargle , i wanted to make my own “name the team” games! i personally really love these (it makes me think of how these characters would actually interact, how they look like, etc…) and i think it’d be interesting! i’m not american, so i didn’t list their high schools. i assigned them positions, because i’m following the roster of an already-existing softball team
i know nothing about this sport.
NOTE: some players will be given one (1) namebank. this is on purpose. in some cultures, people don’t have middle names!
you are the new athletics coordinator at westwood university. name the women’s softball team & pick their majors and hometowns!
