Made you look. Smile

Saw a HS game today that someone I played with in LL through HS was coaching. I hadn't seen him since then and that was many years ago. We didn't really hang back then but it was fun to run into him and talk for a couple minutes about the old days and he seems to have ended up being a good coach and a class individual who really cares about using baseball to help his players become better people.

It is fun to see things like that happen

We have a number of players, as I am sure PG does, that have finished their playing days and are now coaching at the HS or College level---

In fact I just conected thru FACEBOOK with a kid I had in LL nearly 20 years ago--he is now an actor with a lot of good things happening--he is now in LA but will back in the Northeast this coming September and we are set to get together for either lunch or dinner--he has a lead role comimg up in COLD CASE in April and was in General Hospital this week
I would regularly run into my sons coach, prior to his moving to Florida, at a local restaurant owned by the parents of one of my sons teammates, they did not own it during the HS years so there are no politics here, and my wife and I could not leave without having an expresso and an after dinner drink with he and his wife at their table,

Baseball friendships never die !!!
Yeah there is a special connection.My sons HS coaches still text him tell him congrats on his season, check on his school work, just good mentors. When we won the first ever section last year that really cemented something for all of us.
There was such a team chemistry and the parents as well, it was so much fun I will never forget it.
But I am having a blast watching Junior college ball. I really like all the parents and already feel close to them.
One of my sons teammates brother was in a sking accident a couple weeks ago, he broke his back and is paralyzed from the waist down. that event shook us all, but it cements you together.Every time I watch a game , I think about that young man, I pray for him and am thankful my son and the team is healthy.
baseball is a big chunk of our lives when were in the midst of it, but a tragedy really brings home whats really important and that is the relationships that we build and the friendships.And how much we love our sons.
