They started out as a roadshow attraction to promote WARM in the early 60s. Then as time went on they took shape and form and actually got pretty good. Through the years the WARM Softball Softies raised money for local clubs and organizations. The team served as ambassadors of the Mighty 590. The games were competitive but also pretty community oriented. At the time this unit of the WARM Softball Softies were playing, these two songs were part of the spring time rotation of WARM's music playlist.

Were there any on-air full timers here?
I THINK A LOT OF THE FULL TIMERS WERE A LITTLE PAST THE PRIME IN TERMS OF BALL PLAYING. BUT I'LL CHECK IT OUT.
