Baseball's future? Bigger and bigger, better and better! No question about it, it's the greatest game there is!
We have speedy kids, and I'd love to have nine track stars out there to put pressure on. They say speed kills and it's something you can't coach, but we can help show them how to pick up that extra base.
Kids get separated from their parents all the time. Had his parents paid attention, this little child would not have wandered off.
Stacey has started to hit the ball, which helps her defensively as well, so she's not carrying that back to the field. Karen is throwing well and is taking that senior leadership role. She tells the girls she's going to get the ground ball, so they have to back her up.
God gets you to the plate, but once your there your on your own.
When we have an out and those girls on, we know we can steal. That means we don't have to wait on two hits. Anything in the outfield, we're going to try to send them.
Happy Birthday Tommy. We had one for you. Mickey Mantle.

He said, 'What's in the cooler?' and I said, 'I brought a couple of beers.' He said, 'No beer on this boat,' and I said, 'No fishing for me on this boat. See ya.'
We've not been on the field yet. We haven't been able to take ground balls.
Sitting at the rich table made me feel a little bit bad, but I was comfortable where I was; I didn't want to switch. I wanted to be able to eat a real dinner. I felt guilty, but I didn't want to be sitting there eating just rice, either.
DiMaggio was the greatest all-around player I ever saw. His career cannot be summed up in numbers and awards. It might sound corny, but he had a profound and lasting impact on the country.
Could you really imagine Tiger racing a stock car?.
I've never been a part of anything like that before. As a player you're told not to mention it. Before I knew it, he struck the last guy out and it was a great feeling. We all just tackled him.
Every year we've gone out (to California), it's just a battle to score runs. We practice in the morning for a couple hours, play a game and then if we need to, practice again. It's like two-a-days for football. When we come back, we should know what we're going to do.
