“D” is for… February 21, 2007
Many of you have already heard the story about how, despite my acceptance of the relative truth of the “softball lesbian” stereotype, I was naive enough to think that, at a Division III school like the University of Chicago, the percentage of same-sex loving girls on the team woulf be severely reduced, due to the relative skill of the players, most likely corresponding to a lower level of “lesbian-inducing” hormones than found in Division I players. And how, in the course of my first and only season on the team, there were two internal hook-ups (one between an assistant coach and a player, and one between the sorority girl catcher and the centerfielder). That’s, like, 25%!
As was explained to me this morning when I recounted this story to friends: “Yeah, you thought the ‘D’ stood for ‘Division’!”
