We are blessed to be involved in baseball because:
• of the look in his eyes after he has had a big game.
• of the tears in his eyes after a tough loss.
• the times he drags himself away from those video games to come and ask ‘Dad, wanna play some catch?’
• he is learning lessons in life from this wonderful game. He is learning to deal with failure, and that hard work and discipline results in more success AND fun.
• he’s also learning selflessness in working towards team goals, and to not concern himself with things over which he has no control.
• of all the wonderful friends that we have made at the ballpark that will remain friends even after the bright lights dim.
We are thankful for:
• the coaches that care and give so many hours to help other people’s kids have a meaningful and enjoyable baseball experience.
• the umpires that take so much flack but give so much for the love of the game.
• the wins that bring such joy and gratification.
• the losses that keep us humble and make us understand where we need to improve.
• those wonderful families – moms and sisters and little brothers, who squeal with glee for each hit, yet kiss away the tears and offer gentle admonitions to ‘suck it up’ when they get thrown out at home with the tying run and bloody their knee.
• those who wash their warrior’s uniforms and prepare his lucky pregame pasta before every game.
• who come to love the game and never want it to end.
• this little boy’s game we call baseball. If we are lucky we can share with our son for a long time. And we’ll all look back on it as some of the best years of our lives!
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy Holidays to All!!!
