I remembered the coaches and parents from games I had played in that were quick to demean and harsh with their critique of 8 and 9 year old kids. I thank God that people like you are coaching kids. People who love the people more than the game. I was living in Chicago (and had attended some of the games) some years back when a parent beat a coach to death at a little league game.

Then, you'd be like too many coaches and parents in little league America (I also think there's a lot of great coaches and parents, and I'm not trying to say everything is messed up...) So you think you may not should coach the higher levels? How about you get a ACU ex-baseballer or pitcher to come be pitching coach? The next level needs your salty influence. No pressure...and could you blog about it next year too.

Most parents don't realize the demands and sacrifice a coach or manager make but then they have no idea how rewarding it can be! Not related to your post. I awakened early this morning and blogged and then just kind of started looking around blogspot. I ran across a blog I thought you might want to look at. hisvoice.blogspot.com , it had a hyperlink to a web site called sinbgone.com, interesting! e-pennance. Go figure!

Who did Dixie play in the championship, Cedar Creek or Southern? My guess is Cedar Creek. Congratulations on a great season--kudos to Chris and his team.

We read that same poem and so whenever anyone would start with the whatifs....we would start giving outrageous and impossible whatifs back to them. It became a very funny game but would stop the serious whatifs in their tracks. I miss those times with my boys...now 21 and 19. grace to you, julie When my boys were little they would slide into whatif mode and it could become so annoying.
