Some
people think baseball is just a game.
They are wrong!
Baseball
is about reaching deep inside yourself
to catch the ball that can't be caught and
to hit the pitch that can't be hit.
It is about the Soul.
Baseball
is about bad hops, bad breaks, bad throws and bad calls.
It is about
striking out and making errors.
It is also about overcoming all these things.
It is also about redemption.
Baseball is
about kids who become stars,
stars who become heroes and
heroes who become LEGENDS.

Through an Umpires Eyes
Many of life's lessons are learned on a baseball field. For years, I have looked for a great example of how to explain the importance of the values that parents and coaches alike can have on our youth."Through an umpires eyes"is a touching story of how these lessons can be learned, by both parents and coaches, and also our children. Please take the time and read this entire story written by Donald Jenson. Mr Jensen was struck in the head by a thrown bat while umpiring a Little League game in Terre Haute, Indiana. He continued to work the game, but later that evening was placed in the hospital by a doctor. While being kept overnight for observation, Jensen wrote this letter.
