Possible Threat to Program

If you have heard the rumor, I am have to come clean and tell you the rumor is true!

Yes, Coach Cougan is contemplating abandoning the 13 year old team IF, and only IF Magnolia Baseball Club does recruit enough players to field a 1 and under year old team this year. This is only because his grandson Eli will be eligible for the team. Eli HAS signed up, but currently the roster is stuck at ONE player.

And yes, the answer to your other question is that I PULLED HIS PANTS UP LIKE THAT. After changing him I could not resist the chance to embarrass my daughter Kelsey and to embarass Eli by trying to make him look like a little old man!

Pitching Clinic

Jamie Moyer will be in town this weekend. He and Karen are coming up for the mandatory parent/player meeting 6:30 Sunday at the Magnolia Community Center.

As a bonus, Jamie will put on a pitching clinic on Saturday during our cage time at the Strike Zone. It will be for all of our teams 13-16, and will be fairly crowded (just a warning). At this time it looks like he will talk for about a half hour and then we will take turns on the bump, do some throwing and get a chance for some Jamie feedback.

Catchers - be ready to do some catching, gloves, mask and cup.

The clinic will span from 4:00 to 7:00.

Based on the crowd I have two warnings for you all.

#1 Parents - as cool as this sounds, there is probably no room for you to hang and listen. You can probably be in the room if you had planned on waiting, but the place will be teaming with kids.

#2 We might not have time to get all our guys to throw with Jamie instructing. We probably have time for 5 or 6 pitchers per team. Sorry, that is just the way it is.

Bring your ears, bring your questions and enjoy the experience. We will probably get some hitting in as well.
