We have hosted 3 players every summer for the last 7 years (Valley League). Being a team president, it's kind of hard not to, but we have thoroughly enjoyed it. The First Lady does keep the frig stocked in luncheon meats, cheeses, sports drinks, fruit, etc., cereals of all types, and all of these guys eat like horses. She also keeps a supply of their "favorites", anything from Ho-Ho's to Ding Dongs, to "Pocket Sandwiches", to Eggo's. Most players have been very enjoyable and several stay in touch. We've also had a couple of introverts that were nice but just rarely came out of their room. We had a Georgetown pitcher who was constantly reading books of all sorts-he probably read 20-30 books during the 2 month season. Parents need to make their rules clear; we had very few: put your dirty uniforms in the laundry room when you come in, no tobacco or alcohol, don't stay out ridiculously late, call us if you are going to be later than normal, stay out of the basement when the First Lady is doing her morning workout (with Country music blasting), and most importantly, be good to the dog. It is very rewarding, but you are always glad to get your house back in early August. As a team. we have had very few complaints from players or host families, and tons of compliments-most hosts treat these guys as adopted sons, and lots of players have stayed in touch.
