A new season
It is the beginning of a new season. I hope ballplayers of all leagues and ages have a great year!! The game of baseball can give you so much and teach you so many life lessons. "Respect The Game" is something I always tell kids. By doing so you will learn sportsmanship, to win respectfully, to lose humbly. Thats its not the last error you made or the last strikeout or the last past ball you threw. Its the next groundball you get and the next at bat and the next pitch you throw that matters. If you can accept that, and move forward in the game with the confidence you need to succeed, how much better off will you be at dealing with life? Move forward this season with the knowledge that the next pitch is the only one that matters.

Tom you never stop impressing me, I am blessed to be able to call you my brother, my friend and someone to look up to. On a another note, yes baseball is finally back ( GO GIANTS!!! ), what a great game each pitch and each at bat is like a new battle. Some think the game moves to slow- well not everyone has the same mental abilities to see beyond the surface of things, which can usually go the same for the life we were given. Love you bro-Matt
