Cajun Great Holly Tankersley

So yesterday I was sitting in my garage drinking a Parish Brewing Envie and a young lady was riding her bike in my Cul De Sac. She stopped to say hello and we began to speak. I asked her her name and she said it was Holly and she used to play softball for the Cajuns. I then asked if her last name was Tankersley and she said yes. I then had a great conversation about her home run vs Florida in the WCWS. She lives directly behind me, we share a fence.

Super nice lady with 2 young children a 5 and a 3 year old.

Sounds like a good neighborhood!

Nice. I didn’t know she was still in the area.

If you get a baseball through your window I guess you will know where it came from.

I think I remember her wearing red contact lenses that season, but I may be misremembering. I also remember hearing that her vision was poor in her right eye, so as a lefty she had to exaggerate her head turn to see pitches with her left eye. I agree with Helmut, change out those back windows to Plexiglas now while you have the chance.

Very cool.

When she hit that dinger, it was one of only a couple that Nelson (Florida pitcher) had given up that season. It almost seemed like a half swing and she just hit it perfectly.
