I have always loved the game of baseball, and have played it since I could pick up a bat. I played youth, high school, and American Legion baseball. I was drafted by the Detroit Tigers out of high school in the 6th round of the 1972 draft. I have coached youth baseball for the last 8 years. It has been a great experience for me, and certainly one that has been rewarding. The Gambrills team that I started coaching when they were 13 years old had 12 kids on the team. Of those 12 kids that started on the team, 11 of them played ball through high school. Of those 11 kids that played through high school, all 11 have gone on to play college baseball.
I run summer baseball camps for kids from the age of 8-18, as well as 8-week winter programs, and coaches clinics. I am also in the beginning stages of putting together a “Baseball Bus Tour” for the summer of 2010 which I am very excited about.

Jeff, We met last year at a District 2 LL meeting. I’m the president of the Frederick Challenger L.L. Both Rick Wilson and Kevin Hutto are keeping me informed on 2011. I’m of course especially interested in any Challenger events.
