Prayer for all!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will. When the bases you're trudging seems all uphill. When the hits are low and the errors are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When the heat is pressing you down a bit. Rest if you must, but you dont quit. Success is failure turned inside out, the silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you can never tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems afar. So stick to the game when it is hardest hit. It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.

Great Story for All!

I have posted this story I received it is a long story, but it really makes you think and it puts perspective on what your managers, coaches and board members go through and why we do what we do! Read it if you have time!
Thanks!

Softball Prayer

SOFTBALL PLAYER'S PRAYER 
Lord, give me the strength to hit the ball
And if I do don't let me fall
Help me to pick the pitch that's right
Then let me knock it out of sight. 
Then let me run with deer-like grace
Don't let me miss but tag first base
Then on to second, stay with me, Lord,
Cause this one out, we can't afford. 
Right down the line and on to third
Then let me slide with feet out-thrust
Across home plate in the swishing dust 
BUT FIRST OF ALL, DEAR LORD,
I PRAY JUST TELL THE COACH TO LET ME PLAY!
 
by Rachel #1 of the Amhurst Lightning



Baseball Batter
Hey Dad
Hey Dad!
My coach says to choke up more.
My dad yells out I’m fine.
Coach says use a 28 bat
Dad shouts 29
Which one do I listen to?
What’s a boy to do?
I’m only ten years old
And they’re both forty-two
Someone will get angry
And I’m stuck in the middle
How do you think that I can solve this very difficult riddle?
I know I know I’ve got it!
Can this really work?
I hope that neither one of them will think that I’m a jerk.
Somehow I will get the coach to tell my dad the facts.
And there’s really only just one coach. And dad you will relax!
Just watch the game and laugh a lot.
Cheer don’t shout advice.
Maybe you’ll find that watching games can actually be nice!
