This weekend I had two events occurs that made me once again how small the world of sports is
Event One-- Friday nite after our late game on the Battle at the Border my coach an got back to the hotel just minutes after the restaurant closed---thus we ate in the lounge with the NCAA CWS on the tv's--while we are eating I feel a hand on shoulder and then a voice saying "Hey stranger"---it was Fitz Hamburg the current Head Coach st St Joeseph's in Philly--he was an asst coach 15 years ago when my son was a frosh at New Mexico State
Evnet Two--Monday I return my rental to Enterprise "we pick you up"--the young lady who drove me home was a recent grad from SUNY New Paltz who was a 4 year basketball player--lo and behold she knew the mens basketball coach who I had coached when he was 12 years of age in our town youth league
The world of sports is so great even if it is so small
