A team is about a lot more than just their wins and loses. The top players get the awards and etc. but let's never forget those kids on the bench.
Today I would like to celebrate those who keep the bench smooth and free of splinters - and their moments in the sun.
This is one of my favorites - we had a young man on the hs team was not a starter, in fact he barely got into the game at all during his entire 4 years of baseball. He was a great kid though and he loved being a part of the team.
It was one of those rare days when he got into the game. He comes up to bat and low and behold he hits his one and only ever home run. The entire team greats him at the plate for one of the most excited moments of the year. It was awesome and I am sure one this young man will never forget.
