This team has a lot of heart. Many others would have folded due to the lack of support we receive, but not these kids. Over the year, the players have learned perseverance, positive thinking, and an exceptional attitude. These qualities have been the anchor that has steadied the team over the season. These qualities are what make a person's character and these guys are building tremendous character that will be with them forever. It sure wasn't the equipment or playing conditions. We just completed the year with a 10-6 record and made it to the playoffs. In the playoff game, the difference between a team with financial support and a team without it was made clear. Our team had a total of $200 to spend on equipment this season. We got four new bats (not the good ones the players wanted, but bats that fit our budget) and some practice and game balls to get us through the season. The team we played in the playoffs all had nice new uniforms, they hit with the best bats, and were just much more enthusiastic about their situation. Next season, we will have the same amount of funding, about $200. Due to normal wear and tear, we will need to replace a lot of equipment. The catcher's equipment we use is from five years ago. The chin strap on the catcher's mask is held together with duct tape and the elastic on the shin guards has no stretch. The bats, while pretty new, weren't of the best quality and have already begun to show wear and tear. We need baseballs to hold practice and to play games. The batting helmets are also around 5 years old and need to be upgraded. With persistence, perseverance, positive thinking and an exceptional attitude along with new catcher's equipment, a first baseman's glove and practice baseballs, we can be on par with other teams with large baseball programs have.
