Coach Stratton coaches the Brackettes Fastpitch softball team. This team was formed in 1947 which makes them the longest existing fastpitch softball team to have ever existed! 11 members of ther team are former Olympians such as Dot Richardson, Cat Osterman, Joan Joyce, and many others. John began as a bat boy and feels lucky to have gotten to where he is today with the team.  Lack of sponsorship had crippled the sport in many ways, but Coach John hopes that the Pro Teams keep the love of the sport alive and bring in new passionate fans!  Coach John is asked what his favorite moment in his softball career was. He answers that his favorite moment was in 1958 when his wife played and Joan Joyce was the pitcher as well as when he managed in 1976 and he won a national title and many other moments!  Coach John finishes his interview with sharing his secret to success beign having great players!  Visit the Fastpitch TV Show's website at www.Fastpitch.TV Don't forget to check out our other softball websites SoftballPodcasts.com Fastpitch.US FastpitchChat.com FastpitchDrills.com Find us on Facebook at Facebook.com/fastpitchtv • One-Piece Composite Design • AB9000 Composite Material • Reduced MOI, allows you to swing through the zone faster with less effort • Padded Spiral Grip designed to keep batter's hands cushioned and prevent any slipping • Ultra thin handle for better bat speed • Super Balanced feel • BPF 1.20 Certified • 10 Drop weight • Available in sizes 30"-34" • 1 Year warranty against manufacture defects Sponsored by SoftballJunk.com Sign up for our newsletter at http://Fastpitch.TV/newsletter LINKS OF INTEREST http://Fastpitch.TV/Twitter http://Fastpitch.TV/Pinterest http://Fastpitch.TV/Facebook http://Fastpitch.TV/Instagram . http://Fastpitch.TV/GooglePlus . http://Fastpitch.TV/YouTube This content is provided with a Creative Commons Share-Alike License.
