“NPF team owners have always taken a great deal of pride in paving the path to legitimizing this great sport of softball at the professional level,” commented Kempf. “No group is better suited to take this significant step forward in advancing and expanding the overall exposure of the game and its very best athletes, than the NPF. We are confident that fans will share in our enthusiasm and show their overall support in subscribing.”
