Entry 3... Game Time

Well... it has finally arrived. That time to put the uniform on and get into game mode. It was just like old times again. The excitement. The anticipation. The energy. It was all there...

I looked down the beach and realized, I'm going to have to teach these kids how to not only play, but how to be baseball players. Almost no chatter from the bench. Having to tell guys to get up on the rail. Told a kid that he was on foul balls today and he looked at me like I was speaking Greek. He had no clue what I meant. Same when I told another player to go protect the bullpen.

This could be a long year if we have to hold their hands through everything. But... that's what I am here for.
