ICYMI: Coming Soon... The Top 10 Softball Stories of 2024 (Dec. 10, 2024)

In case you missed it (ICYMI), we announced over the weekend that we’ll start our countdown of the Top 10 Softball Stories of The Year in less than two weeks…

… and you can share your opinion of which stories from 2024 were the most impactful!

On Monday, Dec. 23, 2024—we will begin our countdown of the Top 10 Softball Stories and each day through New Year’s Day 2025, we will spotlight a story that we believe impacted our sport with the following schedule:

  • Top 10 Softball Stories of the Year: #10Mon, Dec. 23, 2024
  • Top 10 Softball Stories of the Year: #9Tue, Dec. 24, 2024
  • Top 10 Softball Stories of the Year: #8Wed, Dec. 25, 2024
  • Top 10 Softball Stories of the Year: #7Thu, Dec. 26, 2024
  • Top 10 Softball Stories of the Year: #6Fri, Dec. 27, 2024
  • Top 10 Softball Stories of the Year: #5Sat, Dec. 28, 2024
  • Top 10 Softball Stories of the Year: #4Sun, Dec. 29, 2024
  • Top 10 Softball Stories of the Year: #3Mon, Dec. 30, 2024
  • Top 10 Softball Stories of the Year: #2Tue, Dec. 31, 2024
  • Top 10 Softball Stories of the Year: #1Wed, Jan. 1, 2025

 

Also, on Friday, Jan. 3, 2025, Line Drive Softball will list all the Top 10 stories together and then on Saturday, Jan. 4th we’ll will run the “Other Stories Considered” List.

Perhaps it was something on the field: like Oklahoma winning another National Championship… or off the field: perhaps the Transfer Portal or the increasing impact of the NIL situation.

Maybe it was a heart-warming human interest story… or something not so positive that has impacted a player, family, team or the entire sport. These stories can be youth-oriented, club, college, international, pro… whatever YOU feel was most powerful and significant to the sport this year!

Let us know what you think… email me at Brentt.Eads@LineDriveMedia.com and provide your feedback.

Note that the deadline to submit ideas is Friday, Dec. 20, 2024 @ noon EST.
