I sat on the couch and watched my hometown little league allstar team play on ESPN tonight. It brought back loads of little league memories. My dad was my coach from the time I started playing tee-ball until I graduated from high school. I learned a lot from him, and from the game of baseball. There were lessons about facing adversity, dealing with failure, handling pressure, being part of a team, winning with class…
It was fun watching the Warner Robins American team win their way into the LL World Series. They won the whole thing in 2007. There were some familiar family names, and I think that one of the kids is the son of a guy I went to high school with.
I might just have to make a trip to Williamsport this year. It’d be even better if my dad could come up to watch a game with me…
