The softball team completed its rampage through the tournament, beating Australia 5-1 to take the gold. Team USA went undefeated in Athens and outscored its opponents 51-1.

For all of the ESPN-generated hype about Jennie Finch (the third or fourth best pitcher in a four pitcher rotation), the stories on this team were elsewhere.

In a sport where offense is sometimes hard to come by, Crystl Bustos pounded just about every pitcher she faced. She broke Olympic records for home runs and RBIs, including two moon shots in the gold medal game.

And Lisa Fernandez proved again why she deserves to be called the best softball player ever. She is Babe Ruth, dominating both sides. She led the Olympics by a huge margin in with a .545 batting average; she was 2nd in slugging and RBIs behind Bustos. On the pitching side, she led the Olympics in wins and ERA.

She is the best pitcher in the game, and she is the best non-power hitter in the game. I don't know if there's anyone who dominates any team sport right now the way she dominates softball. She is simply incomparable.
