Stopped by my favorite college team's practice this afternoon and I just absolutely love watching the college guys go at it.
Crisp, clean, hustle, effort, enthusiasm, disciplined, purposeful, collegial, teamwork, freshmen eyes wide open, upper classmen trying to set the tone, everyone with a duty...put simply, the way the game ought to be played.
I always tried to get my youth teams to go watch college baseball for many of these reasons...I now think I should get them to go watch practice too.
No, they're not the best/most talented baseball players in the world. But they are there for the love of the game and I just love watching it! I cannot imagine ever getting tired of watching the college game.
