Baseball Season

Rain, Rain Go Away Come Again Another Day.

      Baseball season is here and I have a new school and a new team. Even though this time it is a middle school team they have still surprised me in many ways. Some have shown me a knowledge of the history of the game that I didn’t expect from this generation and others have shown me an ability to play the game that is above their level. Unlike, some of the stops I have made when players that had no business on a field thought they were the best players anybody had ever seen. The players at this stop have the ability to play well and expect to play great and continue to push themselves to be better. Now let’s not forget that they are middle schoolers and can get off track from time to time and be silly but they all Love the game and expect to win. When players are willing to see themselves as a work in progress and don’t think that they know everything about the game then they can be better and compete at a high level.

Baseball season #2

Baseball is here but of course with the rain we can’t really get a lot done. Most of our days have been spent indoors in the gym at school and we can get somethings done but not a whole lot. With that yesterday we are practicing in the gym again and in the middle of one player throwing a bullpen the lights go out. My initial thought was it was just in the gym. Then upon further investigation it is the entire school. So, I asked the resource officer and come to find out it was not just the school but the entire city and some outside of the city. So, for the last 20 minutes of practice we sat in the dark gym waiting on the power to come back on and when it didn’t it was time to go. This season has been somewhat crazy already and we haven’t even played a game yet. At this rate we either need a swim team or start an indoor waffle ball league. Till Tomorrow, D. Pounders

Post 2

      As a teacher I see about 250 students a day (give or take). Most days are fairly good with no problems but there are days when you wonder what in the world just happened and how did I keep my sanity. I was fully expecting Valentine’s Day to be one of the days but for the most part everything went well this year. even though the kids where hopped up on sugar they managed to hold things together. A lot of that credit can go to administrators and parents for holding the students accountable if they misbehave. Thank you to all of you.      Now before leaving home My wife and I gave our kids a small Valentines Day present and a card to tell them how much we Love them. They were both dry excited about their candy and a small gift. It is always so much fun to see the look on their faces when they get something.     Tonight though my wife and I will spend the evening at the church listening to ways to eliminate debt through a livestream. I ...
