Just some thoughts about special people

Saturday morning and looking back a bit. LOL

When my eldest (and his Mom and Dad - LOL) went through his initial college BB "experience" - the first 2 people who offered their help were:

Tom Rizzi and Jerry Ford.

Two very very busy men who offered help simply because they really care about the kids.

TR knew my son well - and Jerry actually had only seen him but never met him.

When you are deciding on what events your kid should attend this year - keep the "Head Honcho" in mind.

You cannot go wrong with these two gentlemen IMO.

I do not know either one of them personally, but I have been reading their posts since approx. 2001.
It is overwhelmingly evident to me that TR cares about the player as well as equipping them to step forward.(albeit occasionally a bit on the cranky side!)

I must be honest, for years I discounted PG because I thought there might be a conflicting interest. I believe now that he is an honest caring person, a true gentleman, respecting all on this board and intent only on helping and encouraging players/parents.
we are all fortunate to have them willing to take anonymous criticism and swipes, just to assist our players/parents to the next level.
Thank you, sirs.

Catsure,

My guess is that for every anonymous critic/swipe they take - they get 20 thank you's. Maybe more.

One thing is for sure - they have helped an awful lot of young kids get to the next level and continue pursuing whatever baseball goals they aspired to.

Thats pretty cool if you ask me.
