Written by I began coaching youth baseball back in the mid-1990’s. Over the years I have had more fun being a part of teams and interacting with parents, coaches, players, and opponents than I could ever recount. This year, 2018, was so much fun! I cannot honestly remember having a better time being around a team of kids, than this spring. I am so grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the kids. Whether it be sharing some baseball axiom, working on the fundamentals of the game that have worked for more than 100 years, or an opening to share a life lesson, or even just getting a young player to smile, the joy is all mine. It’s all about the kids, and we had a great time! Thank you to my wife who was an amazing dugout mom and team coordinator. Thank you to the other coaches who were simply outstanding, and to the many parents who volunteered, cheered, and got the kids to the places they needed to be.
