@JamBase Not all heroes wear capes! Cheers to the dude who manifested this! Still buzzing from that show.

[Keegan Grounds @grounds_keegan]

@KeithGave Mr. gave spitting facts! What a clown show this once proud franchise has become.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Parents, here’s a simple rule: Don’t talk to the opposing team’s kids. Cheer for your own team. Let the coaches coach, the players play, and the umpires umpire. You’re behind the fence for a reason.

Finished off our last summer league games in Ohio tonight 3-0! This crew has improved so much and we have a lot to look forward to!

Happy Father’s Day to the dads no longer with us, but who still check in now and then.
And to the ones here: hope you have a catch today.

[Matt Seidl @FromTheSeidline]

The need for separate public & private school state tournaments, especially in a team sport like ⚾️, has never been clearer. It’s the biggest issue facing the MHSAA, yet the organization refuses to survey its members or follow the lead of other states to address it.

The numbers below are evidence that the current antiquated system is not working – and anyone who supports it and/or denies the inherent advantage that private schools possess should be embarrassed.

June 13th. One of my least favorite days of the year. On this day, two men that I was really close to lost their careers and almost their lives. Didn't seem fair in 1997 and it still doesn't today.

Much has been said about how we celebrated the responsible way. Yeah, we drank. A lot. But we didn't drive. We took limos everywhere that week. Yet tragedy still struck Vladdy and Sergei and it struck our entire team.

I still live near the crash site. Even though lightning would cruelly strike and destroy the tree less than a month after they hit it, I know exactly where it was, the exact median on Woodward, and the location, down to the foot. I drive past it almost daily and still it fixates my glare.

Not far away, Beaumont Hospital, where Vladdy and Sergei would spend months, and I would stop by daily...hoping for a miracle that never came.

Sure, elite medical care, rehabilitation and Vladdy's sheer will to live is why he is still with us 29 years later, but the miracle of he and Sergei Mnatsakanov having even a remotely normal life missed them.

And for that, I will always be angry. I will always wish they never got in that limo or even came to the golf course that day. Neither one of them played even one hole, they weren't golfers... they came to be with their teammates. To celebrate one last time before we all went our separate ways.

Unfair. Cruel.

So I choose to celebrate those men. Sergei has passed but he will never be forgotten. Such an amazing family man, masseur and friend. He never got the credit he deserved for helping that 97 team play at it's best. He was a blessing to me and all the players.

Vladdy? Man, what a warrior. What a great human being and hockey player. Easily the toughest player I had the privilege of working with. He would play through anything... and he did.

I think about him often...wish life was better to and for him. But I do not pity him. Vladdy wouldn't allow it. I love and appreciate him, and I know his fans do too.

Another day to improve and get better!! Glad the gyms had AC! It was a hot one!

My head just about hit my living room ceiling when D-Mac buried this one 💪

On This Day Darren McCarty CLINCHED The 1997 Stanley Cup with this Beauty of a Goal.

The Detroit Red Wings Swept The Philadelphia Flyers to win their 8th Cup and First in 42 years 👀

Ty and the Arrows playing in the Saline Summer Slam, Reese & Rea and the Lookouts at the Northville tournament, and Tecumseh varsity baseball in the regional finals! What a great day! #playball

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Travel baseball has become the Wild West.

Young ages: development and reps.
Older ages: exposure and recruiting.

Instead, you’ve got coaches going after umpires, parents chirping opponents, and adults losing their minds over 10U pool play games.

The kids aren’t the problem.

[WV Sports Talk @SportsTalk_304]

ESPN showing Country Roads uninterrupted just skyrocketed WVUs brand overnight. This is the first time a lot of "casual" sports fans have gotten to see this amazing tradition in full.
