Welcome to another exciting season of Dodgers baseball. The sun has been shining, the grass has become green and in two days the youth baseball season begins.
Last year, Coach D.G. and I coached the D-Boys along with a veteran coach to within a whisper of becoming Champions. We lost to a team that went undefeated all year.
Such is baseball.
But this year, D.G. and I are back, the veteran coach is not, and the destiny of the team lies firmly in our finger tips.
What lies on the D-Boys' fingertips was probably just plucked from their noses.
Such is youth baseball.
Depsite the crying, the complaining, the losing players to the DL due to mechanical pencils left haphazardly in their pockets, and other behavior covered under the umbrella of slap-nuttery, Coach D.G. and I look forward to coaching another year. When the team played well, or just seemed to have fun playing, we enjoyed coaching and the experience has given us many reasons to smile.
This year, we have some returning players, some who played last year in the minors, and just a few who have never played organized ball.
Will we bring home the big prize? Will we fail miserably? Will our catcher just want to go to Hooters either way?
Only one way to find out.
Play Ball.
