The boys went all the way to the Final Game

After last nights injury, the boys were visably different this morning. They started off poorly, but were able to rebound and come back from being down by 2 runs, to win the game. I pulled mine aside and told him that I understand that he was upset at seeing his team mate hurt like he was, be he wouldn't want the team to lose on account of him. Here they are after coming back for the win in their first game of the day.
That's mine right there
coach telling them how well they bounced back and never gave up, even when playing from a deficit
They played again, or were supposed to, at 4:15, but the other teams were still playing, so the boys had to have a 2hr practice waiting for the other game to finish, to determine who they would play. They won that game in pretty fair fashion. Took the lead in the first inning and never gave it up. That was actually their best effort of the weekend.
After that game, they litteraly had to go across the street to the lighted fields and play again. Our boys, although a travel/tournament team, were thrown together from several teams (A &
, and don't always play together. They did get worked over pretty hard in the final game, but finishing second in the 11U division for the entire weekend tournament, against a team that is STACKED, was an outstanding effort by these boys. All parents proud, myself included. Good things to come from these boys.

Baseball. The Greatest Game.
Good deal all around.
Not about winning or losing. Its about the team.[:)]
you are right. He seems to be settling in with these guys pretty well. He has another coach wanting him to try out after this year's commitment is fulfilled, but the decision of where he wants to play is all his.
The other coach was one of his little league coaches last year who really had a positive impact on his ability and attitude, so either way, I'm good with it. This has been a huge confidence builder for him, as well as a big learning experience.
makes me wish I had a time machine. Kids today have opportunities we could have only dreamed of when I was a kid playing little league baseball. Hell, they had just invented aluminum bats back then,...or was it fire[?] I can't remember....
Good on them. I sure miss the days of coaching my son
I miss him already, and I have at least 7yrs left with him in the house.
