Truth be told, I am the youngest in my family. My two brothers would both agree that I was spoiled. Maybe they’re right. 

I cherish the different relationships I share with both of them. One is my best friend. The other has improved over time.

Siblings know how to push your buttons. At the same time, siblings are the ones that can bring out the goofiest part of you like randomly booty popping in the kitchen at your parents house. (This actually happens)

Today, we celebrate National Sibling Day with softball siblings and their beautiful connection and differences.  

Sierra & Sydney Romero

Sierra and Sydney Romero, two sisters that forged their own paths in the softball world. Sierra left her California nest for a new start at Michigan. Sydney decided to become an Oklahoma Sooner. Both share in mutual admiration for the other. Sydney could have followed her sister to Ann Arbor, but decided home was in Norman, Oklahoma. Although the sisters are in different parts of the country, Sierra and Sydney are in constant contact with one another. Watch Michigan vs. Oklahoma at the Mary Nutter Classic.

Karley & Ali Wester

Ali Wester, freshmen infielder/outfielder for Notre Dame was asked, “If you could trade places with any person for a day, who would it be?” Ali responded, “My sister Karley because she knows everyone and everyone loves her. She’s pretty awesome.” Karley Wester, Notre Dame junior outfielder and Ali started their softball journey together. Ali was six and Karley was eight. “We are starting off together and ending together, so that's kind of cute.” says Karley.

MJ & Shay Knighten

“I bet you can’t run that fast to get that ball. I bet you can’t throw that far. I started competition with them at an early age and it’s carried on.” Kenny Knighten, father of Marjani (Nebraska) and Shay Knighten (Oklahoma) reminisces on raising his two daughters. Competition started at a young age for MJ and Shay. That competition and love for softball granted them the opportunities to play softball at Top 25 programs. Watch Oklahoma vs. Nebraska at the Easton Tournament.
