Gamer, get Bill Mondrella to coach with you, you want to talk about a gamer, billy ball game was a gamer.

StCharles, I coached with Bill my first year there and I enjoyed coaching with him very much. Bill was the asst varsity coach but resigned after that year to pursue other interests. I believe he still gives hitting lessons and from time to time comes out to see a game. I heard he was quite a player and if I'm not mistaken may have led the nation in doubles while in college.

Gamer,

That's too bad about Bill. If you see him tell him I have a position for him.

I'll do that. Will Bill know you by "StCharles"?
