Scrubs take to the field
When I told my 19-year-old daughter I couldn't meet her for dinner because I was covering a softball game, she nodded and smiled absently. Then, after a mental double-take, looked confused."Covering a softball game?" she asked incredulously.
For years, as a community journalist, I would write on a regular basis about softball, as well as any other sporting or news event that came up. (I remember one mud racing story that had me picking dirt from my teeth for days.)
But now that I was working for the health system, she wondered, why was I covering a softball game?
Friday night, Fauquier Health's Operating Room staff softball team -- the Scrubs -- played a team from Molly's restaurant in Warrenton in a double header. The teams are part of a summer softball league through the Always Active adult sports league.
Twenty members of the Scrubs team were present at the Taylor Middle School field Friday, looking snappy in their powder blue T-shirts. (The Scrubs has a larger roster than normal, since so many of their group could at any time be otherwise occupied saving lives.)
It was nice to see the OR staff bring their work hard/play hard ethic onto the softball field, and the teamwork they have perfected on the job translated well to the diamond. They performed well and supported one another -- the definition of teamwork, on and off the field.
