Talking to Jen Carroll, a newbie who has already made herself a key part of the club both on and off the field. . .

Name / Nickname – Jen/Jenny/Blondie (plus a couple Darren has made up for me)
 
Position – 1B
 
When did you start playing softball? – I played t-ball at age 5 and then fast-pitch softball since age 10.
 
Best Softball Memory / Moments  – The first game of the season, when I realized that after a 19 year hiatus, I still pretty much remembered how to do everything.   Also, all the trips to the Eden for pints after games/practices.
 
Most frustrating thing about softball? – The ridiculously slow pitch
 
Best player you've played with/against? – Rachel for having the best attitude, Darren for his love of the sport, Melanie for being the best coach, Andy for best throw from SS to 1B, Marc for best range in the OF, and Oz for best infield chatter. 
 
Favourite Blitz to play in? – I loved the Suspects Blitz… Fun from 9 a.m. til 4 a.m. the next day! 
 
If you didn’t play for Marlay, what club would you play for? – There are other clubs besides Marlay???

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? – I’m doing it!  Not sure what city/country will be next on the list…
 
If you were on death row and had to choose, what would your last meal consist of? – Cracked Dungeness crab in lemon and olive oil with fresh-baked San Francisco sourdough bread.
 
What’s your star sign? – Taurus
 
What's so good about your Mexican food? – There is nothing not good about my Mexican food.  If you’re very lucky, you might get to sample my enchiladas, pozole, or shredded pork green chili burritos! 
 
Tell us something we don't know about you. – I love to dress up in costumes (and not just on Halloween)!  ;)
 
If you could change one softball rule, what would it be?  No leading off.  When you run the bases as slowly as I do, you need all the head start you can get!  Also, that silly walk rule that Susie mentioned…
