The Mitey Mite Little League team I sponsor made it all the way to the championship game this year. Their reward was to play at Classic Park – the home of the MLB Minor League Lake County Captains.
I owe these guys a lot of thanks. They brought all us all along for a fun ride on hot summer nights. Easily one of the best coaching experiences I’ve ever had. The guys I coached with were great. The parents of these young kids were great. It was just fun and that was because everybody involved was just there to have a good time.
Since I coach, I don’t often get to take any pictures of them in action and nothing was different on this night. Once the game started I had to hand the camera over to my wife. I did take the pregame time to snap off a few shots of the kids though.
This is my son looking just a little focused. Or he’s sick of me taking his picture….
The crew for the Captain’s went all out too. They had us up on the Jumbotron. Too bad they didn’t tell us how to put out team names on the board. I guess Bay Village and Strongsville played the day before us.
And that’s me coaching first base. Most of my duties consisted of yelling “run, Run, RUN!”. Occasionally, I’d switch it up to “Go! GO! GO!”
Thanks again to all the parents, coaches and kids involved. It was a great season!
