LaGrave Field in Ft. Worth

it's not the only field in that league that was allowed to deteriorate so badly. out in amarillo, for example, the dump the dillas played in got so bad that the high school and college kids refused to play there and the locals refused to come watch any more and the team finally folded [with lots of bills unpaid, btw]. that place was always a dump, but back when the field was kept in decent shape and the toilets flushed it was the most vibrant and best attended team in the league. pray that does not happen at Lagrave. too much history, good ball players, etc., but that's a bad sign.

From the actions of the two coaches and two of the players in that program they should be playing behind a farm house. Some one should ask the A.D. who has control of the baseball program at Keller. When an ump tosses a coach at the beginning of a game he sending a clear message balls and strikes are his call.

WOW! Tossed before the game? I hope they have fun in Austin when the UIL comes-a-callin'.

Joe, maybe you need to just call up to the AD's office. I'll give you the number if you need it.

Doug thanks, but I have his cell #.

Well Joe, maybe you should get your facts straight before you go running off to call the AD....or even posting on the internet.

Fact. Coach Harvey didn't get thrown out of the game at the beginning, but rather towards the end. And why did he get tossed? Because the ump thought he was saying something to him. Well, you know what? Harvey didn't say a word.

The two kids probably deserved to be tossed...and both were punished accordingly by the Coaches.

But, if you showed up for the games, you'd know that.

Kellerdad,

You've become the rogue coach apologist. I don't even know the FM Marcus coach but if you don't like him he must be a good guy....

You are humorous Pumpkin Head.

KellerDad,

Lefty11 is not Joe. Joe is his best buddy.

Hi lefty11,

I hope did not leak your secret out! I will see you next Sunday.

SouthlakeDad

Kellerdad.....I really don't care one way or the other.....but since I was at the game I thought I would help you get your facts straight......keller's assistant coach was tossed in the top of the second inning and I heard him yelling many comments about balls and strikes....I was setting right there on the Keller side.........you are losing credibility with your'bias' facts.....'protecting' your boys??

Doug, I'll let you win.

Coach Harvey was a teammate of mine in High School. He is a great guy!

Still, the UiL frowns greatly upon coaches that get run.

You gotta know when to fold'em!

Just found out my son's summer team will be playing at LaGrave for 3 double headers.....hopefully the field will be in better shape.

One of my former players just signed with the Cats. I will be out there alot this summer. I'll call him and see what kind of shape the field is in.
