BIO:

It was obvious that Theresa Shepherd was destined for softball greatness at an early age, as her Sweeney Chevrolet teams captured a USSSA Girls Youth World title and four ASA Mid-West Regional crowns.  Her talent earned her a full ride at Miami University, where she still holds four records and was named to two All-Conference teams.  After earning Greater Cincinnati “B” Player of the Year honors while still at Miami, she made the transition to “A” ball in 1990, and was selected to three All-World teams with Empress Chili in the early nineties.  Later she played for Cannon’s Illusions/TPS, winning a USSSA Women’s “A” World Championship in 1998 and earning All-World honors for the fifth time.  She spent the 2000-2005 seasons with ABP/Kinder Sharks, claiming All-World honors three more times while leading the Sharks to three more World titles.  She rejoined Kinder Sharks in 2008, earning her 9th All-World selection.  Primarily a 2nd baseman throughout her 28-year career, she is a life-time .563 hitter.
