Baseball

Watching baseball on a beautiful evening with your grandson in the lineup is a treat for proud grand parents. Unfortunately the score was not too favourable for the home team. Oakville is right on top in the 10 team league but it seems that I watch their losing games. This league features 15 and 16 year olds and the calibre is excellent.

I cannot believe the size of these boys and the dedication of the players and coaches who make it all work. The team demands absolute dedication to play games and be at practises which may last three hours.

The parents are expected to do their part as well and my daughter rarely misses a game or is unavailable for driving. I personally get more joy from watching these kids then seeing our overpaid professionals go through the motions before huge crowds.



There is real character building involved when a kid takes on the responsibility to be a team player and develops skills within fair playing rules and regulations.
