The first pitches of the 1996 Thousand Oaks Bobby Sox softball season were delivered straight and as hard as the two 70-year-old women could muster.
Marge Wenzell and Dottie Kamenshek aren't the same ballplayers they were in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. But the Thousand Oaks residents brought enough to the field behind Los Cerritos Intermediate School to inspire the hundreds of girls gathered with their teams for Saturday's spring opener.
"We never lost it. We can still throw, catch and hit," said Wenzell, an All-American league infielder and outfielder for nine years.
