A long time ago

[big blue 72]

I've been playing, coaching, umpiring for over 60 years.
Started playing with my 4 brothers in the 60s,Gramma showed us how to restitch the baseball with a curved needle. We only had one ball to play with. Coached my 3 daughters in Tball thru the beer leagues for 17 years, took a few years off coaching and umpired /did field work at our local park.
Then the past 14 years been coaching the grandbabies. Did 11 consecutive years of Tball until I ran out of grands that age(4-5). Two years ago they named the Tball field after me since no one else has ever been stup-.er...brave enough to do 11 consecutive years . I love the kids but the parents can be you know whats. Last year moved up to Major league (Little league) with my 11 year old gs. My wife and I regulary see 6-10 games a week with the 3 boys playing at multiple different locations. We are a baseball family!
