Okay, another moment from Sunday game. Players always dare me to do drum solo from Phil Collins' In The Air Of Night. During ground rules meeting, I obliged. #GoingOutInStyle

It's not huge but it's a start to my 2025 Me vs. Catfish experience at the river near my house. #LiveNearARiverButNotInAVan

Honored to share with this group of over 200 men Tues. night at Amherst Baptist, including entire @CVCCBaseball team. #BeAMansManInGodsEyes

Option 1- Live in a van down by the river; Option 2- Buy a house near the river, live in it; Option 3- Choose either Option 1 or 2 and go catfishing when possible. Option 4- post pictures of everything you catch, even if it's a waterlogged piece of wood #LifeNearARiver

Proud of this guy. Coached his dad and him during my career. Injured, released, rehabbed, pitched independent ball, now MLB signed again. Thankful Foxy persevered and is being given another chance #SevenBrotherhood #GodsTiming

This is why I coached for 33 years, to impact and be impacted by my players like @C_Redmond13, whose senior year was my last. Please watch the entire interview, less than 2 minutes #SevenBrotherhood
