Season started .. not a great start.

Well the boys have one tournament under their belts. But not the greatest start. Played 2 games on Saturday and one on Sunday. They were robbed on the second game. Bad umping. But they kept their heads in. Bats were not alive. Outfield needs to wake up. But all and all pretty good. Hopefully the next tournament will bring better. First one out of the way. Butterflies and kinks worked out. So crossing fingers!!

But .. Sunday night brought some really sad, sad news for the team. Their pitching coach was found expired in his parents backyard. He had been having troubles with seizures. Being somewhat new (us) to the team I am not sure if this was a childhood issue, or just started. But apparently he was at his parents house in the backyard doing some yard work. They found him later in the day. That is really all the update I have. Possible more later. I know they are supposed to let the boys know when the viewing is and they are going as a team to show support for his parents and girlfriend.

The boys loved Max. He was closer in age to them (21) and they just adored him. I know Catcher Dude really learned a lot from him. Matter of fact on of the last conversations Max had at the last practice was with Catcher Dude and talking to him about the care of his throwing arm.

He really will be missed. I know catcher dude is crushed, as I am sure all the boys are. He really touched each one of their lives. The boys are going to weat patches in honor of him the rest of the year.
