This is probably the greatest group of kids I've ever had in any sport at any level.

I like to think of it as we're all equal. Maybe we don't get as many innings as we would like, but if one of us gets into trouble, we always have a strong pitcher to back us up.

It was really nerve-wracking. You never knew what was going to happen next.

I didn't know there was so much need in our community.

People wanted to know me. Now they do.

For goodness' sake, I have flip-flops on. It's all right. Jesus wore sandals.
