In the first game of the day, it appears that the Orioles tied the Giants. In the second game, the A's beat the Pirates. In the NIGHTcap, the Reds beat the Royals.

The Metro Scout League passed out 8 Scout Books to the following professional organizations and colleges throughout the day: Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Angels, Atlanta Braves, Chicago White Sox, and New York Yankees. Colleges represented were the University of Missouri, Weatherford College, and Howard JC.

That is a total of 64 scouts/coaches that have received scout books from us this fall. Our goal was 10 a week for a total of 50. The average of the 5 week period was 12 scouts/coaches per week.

Special thanks goes to the kids and parents who gave this league a try. From the feedback we have recieved so far from college coaches and scouts, it was a great success.

I also want to thank Sam Carpenter and Cade Griffis for having the vision and the courage to try something new. It was a pleasure spending time with each of you over the last 5 weeks. I am very proud to say that we put our egos aside, trusted each other and did something to benefit area youth and that is what it is all about...

Parents and players who did not participate this fall may want to consider this league an option in 2008. As you can tell by the exposure and by the value that was provided, it is THE place to play for fall baseball.

This leagus was everything and more than advertised. It was and I hope it will continue to be a great measuring stick for our area athletes.

Thank you all for the idea and effort to make this league work. I am sure this will be something for my son to learn and grow from in baseball and in life....If you want to be the best play with and against the best.

I really hate that OPson was not able to play in this league this fall. Sounds like he missed out on some great opportunities.

Best of luck in the future to some quality, classy people and thank you for the time you spend helping the young men in the area hoping to further their baseball careers. You should be proud of the job you have done and continue to do.

To all of the MSL Parents,

I would like to thank all of you that came up to Sam, Shayne and I on Sunday or sent emails thanking us for putting this together. I also would like you to know that I have received over 2 dozen emails from College Coaches and Pro scouts thanking us for making their job easier by bringing a lot of the great players from the DFW area together on one field. We would also like to thank the parents for putting their trust in us that we would be able to pull this off. We ended up having around 60 pro and college scouts come out. I know that quite a few players that have been asked to come on official visits after being seen in the league. A lot of parents have also told me that they have received either phone calls, letters, or emails from coaches that watched them play in the league. So it looks like our concept worked and we are already talking about what we will change next year to make it even better. The results for the scout day are posted on our website at the top of the home page www.dallasbat.com . Also the results of how the college coaches rated each player. Remember we had no control over this; each player received at least 10 ratings from 8 different college coaches. We took the average and that is what is posted. Your have been posted by your telephone number that you registered with. Thanks Again.

I agree this was a great venue for our sons plus we saved a ton of money staying local. My son has not heard from any JUCO or DII colleges as indicated by his rating. However, he has official visit offers from three 4-YR colleges. There are two DIs and one is a top Big 12 school. A BIG thanks to Sam, Shayne and Cade for putting the MSL together this fall!!!
