RE: That was the best darn money we have spent on baseball in a long time.   
Thanks for a great day today.  My son,  (trying out today for 16U) not only enjoyed the tryout, but also learned a great deal ... the three boys I drove home literally had a chat about "ambition vs dreams," and the value of hard work ... even the small stuff - proper warm up drills, foot strengthening exercises, etc -- were valuable.   Best regards and thanks again for taking the time to spend with the boys. That was the best darn money we have spent on baseball in a long time.   ... we'll thank our friend (on the Braves) for his suggestion to come and tryout. 
M.P.
