The kids are working hard and are excited about being at the varsity level. This year will be a learning experience for them.

I like the example that last year's team showed to the younger kids. They showed that if you come to the ballpark every day with the attitude that you're going to win, you can get it done.

I'm glad how the kids responded and came to the ballpark today ready to play. It was a solid effort on our part to play a first-place team and keep us in the thick of the race.

Showing the Marvel comics is a good way to hook kids into scientific learning. They will remember it and be inspired to learn about the science involved.

It's very refreshing to a certain extent. Sometimes kids will say, 'Yes,' but you're not really sure they want to do it. He was able to apply it.

We've got to do something. Our kids are getting left behind. That will continue as long as we stay here.
