This season has zoomed by and this blogger has not been able to keep up with all the games that has past.
The WR 9U Blue team has played in some great games, some not so evenly matched games and some LONG first inning games this past season. All adding up to a 6-0 run in the ENC State Tournament which meant that the Blue team had won the ENC States and are headed to Gaffney SC.
After last weeks win a parent sent me this link. It is a letter that Cal Ripken wrote to parents and coaches, and since we wear his name on our arms it seemed fitting to share his beliefs and his words of wisdom. Especially as our 8U Blue team is battling it out at their Southeast Regionals in Alabama and our 10U, 11U and 12U Blues are working their way through States.

As we sit back and enjoy watching our boys play, reminiscing about those yester-years it is nice to keep the perspective that baseball is fun. It's a game. It's a great game played by great men (and boys) and we are all lucky enough to be apart of it.
