Henry County wins District 10-AAA Regular Season

Congratulations to Henry County and Dane Archer..

How did Mom and Dad do at Senior night?

I got the chance to hug alot of pretty senior mom's last night and tell them to stop crying because this is a happy ocassion and not supposed to be sad. They didn't listen to me!

Dane's parents were all smiles because we are just plain happy the administration didn't kill him before he graduated!

It was very sad as the realization hit me that the final season was coming to a close and my life of mr. baseball would soon be changing to just showing up and watching.

My brother and I took off work yesterday and got the field ready after a rain storm just so we could have a senior night. Otherwise it would have been a wash out and the games would have been played in Clarksville and no more home games this season. After 7 years of this I guess I am ready to let go. The field was in top shape by game time! Unless we get a region game this year that was it for me.

Wes,

Congrats to the Henry Countians. And I guess that it okay for you to be hugging pretty Momma's. (some of us can not get away with that)

You will find that the transition from "Head Groundskeeper" to fan is not that hard. I would venture to say that you will even enjoy it!

Congrats to all

You will make the move just fine.

Alot more is changing than that! I am giving up 7 years of the Baseball Booster Club presidency too! No more running and getting the meals for the team on away trips during my lunch hour.

I have to admit my brother has been the field chief mowing and telling me to organize the dads to do the work on the baseball field. He won't let the high school maintenance department mess up our nice grass!

We raised money to light the field and moved the team from the city park back to the high school. We rebuilt the field with irrigation and new grass. We put new wind screen on the fences and got coke to give us a new score board. We are in the middle of building new dugouts for the kids coming behind our sons to leave things much better than when we arrived.

Since all the kids except my daughter are out of the house and I have been a single baseball dad since 1992. I am selling my house and getting married this fall to a wonderful lady I have dated for the last 8 years. She won't let me hug any more baseball mom's!

I had forgotten that this was going to happen!

I could make a joke or two, but I will just congratulate the "wonderful lady" on her selection.

It just took us 8 years to figure out if we liked each other!

Now what is wrong with that? We've just been engaged for 4 years.

No use getting hasty in a big decision!

A 4 year engagement, hmmmmmmmm
That is one extremely patient lady! Especially considering your age. If she waited much longer you would be able to collect sociable security.

But I guess the wait is worth while. She is getting a very good man!
