Well, today the final information packet arrived via Fed-Ex.
I now have my roommate’s name, and it is my buddy Joe who I am going to camp with, so it will be nice to not have to share a room with a complete stranger.
Got the full schedule with all the coaches and managers as well. I will admit I do have a couple teams I hope to be on, my 3 top choices are all in the Yastrzemski Division.
Valentin’s Vikings; Manager – John Valentin; Coach – Luis Tiant
Lee’s Lefties; Manager – Bill Lee; Coaches – Felix Maldonando/Mike Stanley
Treuel’s Trolls; Manager – Ralph Treuel; Coach – Oil Can Boyd
Why those you ask? Well, they all have a coach or manager who I think is probably going to be a really really interesting person, even without the baseball aspect of it, just as a human being.
I am a little bit disappointed with some of the rules that were listed for the week. The top of which are the no bunting, no stealing, 7 inning games and only 6 runs an inning rule. I guess I kind of understand them all, but it makes me feel like I am back playing T ball again.
I leave in 16 days… a day earlier than most other guys… I am excited!
