And we are back, folks here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com, Sam Webb,

Mr. Ira Wyntrop on the other side.

And we're always fired up to talk softball with Michigan softball coach Bonny Thoth.

But admittedly, a little more fired up today because it is Academy Day, Michigan Softball Academy Day,

that is, joining us to talk about that.

And the week that was in Michigan softball.

This Michigan softball coach Bonnie, Tony, good morning.

How are you?

Good morning.

The birds are singing.

It's going to be in the 70s.

We have a beautiful, beautiful day. Michigan

Softball Academy Day. We're going to paint it pink today. We're really excited. Players are

really excited to engage with the participants this afternoon and evening for a great cause and

just can't wait. Just Sam Sam spent time yesterday as a group before practice and talking about how important

of a day this truly is not just for Michigan softball for our community and mostly for those

affected by breast cancer and other cancers and just the impact that we can make and the joy that we bring to so many people, whether it's helping to fundraise or just engage in bring the pure joy of youthfulness to the ball field for those who may, you know, be dealing with themselves or their

families with cancer.

And it's pretty amazing to listen to our own student athletes, our young student athletes,

and how many people are impacted in their own families, their moms, their grandmothers,

their aunts.

And so I fully believe that our young group understands the importance of what they do today.
