Do you really consider 47 to be a youngin?

If so, I respect that. My knees, back, and former surgeries dont agree with you.

I got a lot more immature when I almost died about 5 or 6 years ago. Quit taking things so seriously. . .

So, well done then. One of the things age has taught me is that so much of the crap I focused on at 30 really doesn't matter. At all.

Apparently Hubbs said on 104.5 today that GMac has already put on 20lbs and to not count him out of the qb battle

So, he's up to 158 lbs now

Recruiting needs to start picking up. Bring on the 4* and 5* kids. Maybe even a few 6* ones. I would hate to start firing folks this early in the process.

I respect things that people take seriously, but laugh a lot about how unimportant most of the stuff is.

My first season as a baseball head coach was comical to say the least. The city league has a draft that’s set up pretty well. My son had asked me to draft his friends (some good players and some awful players).
I never had any trouble with the parents thankfully.

The funniest thing is at the first couple games, the opposing coaches asked me if I drafted my team based on the Moms. I admit that I hadn’t noticed, but my team definitely won the hot Mom competition and it wasn’t even close.

We didn’t win a lot of games, but every player was a much better player by the end of the season because we worked on the basics and mechanics. We also had a lot of fun.

We had one kid who just couldn’t get the hang of it. He couldn’t really catch, throw or hit. I spent a ton of time with him and he just couldn’t get it. We were in our last game of the season. He had struck out every single at bat (really hard to do in the second season of kid pitch. Don’t swing at anything but a strike and 75% of at bats you walked) Only way I could keep him from swinging would be to send him toThe plate without a bat. Anyway, his last at bat on the first pitch he hit a hard line drive right up the middle for a double. Would have been a triple, but at first he just stood there watching it go. The team erupted like he hit a walk-off grand slam! It was a 2 rbi double by the way.
The bottom of the last inning, same kid is playing 2nd. He is playing close to second base. I just let him stay there. The bases are loaded with no outs. If the other team scores 2 then they win.
The batter hits a line drive right at him. All the parents gasp including me because we know he is gonna die when it hits him. He calmly catches the line drive steps on second and throws to first for a solo triple play. The entire crowd is completely silent for a second and then explodes. My players and coaches rush the field. The players mob him then hoist him on their shoulders and carry him off. You would think that he won the CWS…

The other coach came to shake hands and asked me why we were so excited about the win? He knew that we didn’t make the playoffs. His team did even with the loss.
I told him that the double was his first hit of the season and more importantly the triple play was the first catch, smart baseball move and first throw out of the season for that player.

It’s what I love most about team sports. Sometimes you don’t have to win it all to get a great memory and feel like a winner!

What a great story Doc----thanks for posting that one
