On my recent trip to see a Wisconsin Badgers softball game, I hoped to see former National Pro Fastpitch player and current Associate Head Coach Danielle Zymkowitz and of course, Bucky Badger. I missed both.
I did see Zym on the field. Pre-game she handled drills. During te game, she coached first base. Had it been a single game, I would have waited afterwards to catch up with her. It was a doubleheader though and it was just too hot to stay for both games.
Bucky, on the other hand, was even more frustrating. He appeared in the stands in the first inning. Figuring he would be around all game, I waited until he moved to a convenient area for me to approach him. Before I saw that opportunity, he left, not to return.
Th lesson here is to take the picture when you first can. You might not have more chances. Fortunately, I have a few pictures with Bucky from previous events. This miss doesn't really bug me.
Later in the day, on our way to the bookstore for a shirt, we strolled by one of the many Bucky statues around town. Of course, I had to get that picture.
