It was the end of the regular baseball season. The Angels of Hanover Little League started out rocky and ended the season with a bang. It always seemed one of the Angles got a crazy call from the umpire. They made calls on rules the kids didn't know and even our coach got a call that penalized the team. Yet, the boys and coaches showed resilience and kept on playing. As the season was winding down, I wanted to make sure the coaches received a "thank you" from the boys and the parents. Each player signed a baseball and I wrote a personal thank you card. Here's the inside of the card:
Ode to the Coach
At first we seemed all apart
But we had baseball in our heart
We came together as a team
The league started to heed
The defense started to meld
The other teams we held
Our bats were a tappin'
The crowed started clappin'
We all struck out
Even coach made us pout
We shook it off and stood tall
Even with those crazy calls
Thank you coach
You are the reason
We keep playing ball!
