Fans and softball historians have praised the decision for honoring a true pioneer who dominated without the platform or exposure of todayâs athletes. Even Jennie Finch posted her support on social media, calling Andaya âone of the fiercest competitors the game has ever seen.â
For Texas A&M, itâs a moment of pride and legacy â a reminder that the program has produced not just champions, but icons.
The debate may rage on, but the verdict is in: Shawn Andaya is the queen of college softball.
