KC Dirtbags League Champs!
GREAT season KC Dirtbags! We went undefeated in the league for 5U Coach Pitch and won our league tournament tonight! All the boys have done such a wonderful job this season! It has been such a fun time and we look forward to many, many years of good baseball, good friends, and good fun!!!! Stay tuned for our end of season party at (of course the best restaurant in the world) Buffalo Wild Wings! Thanks BWW for sponsoring us - we look forward to doing you proud in the years to come! A special thanks also to our coaches who truly care about seeing each boy do well. Your dedication, knowledge, and encouragement will carry these boys to success both on and off the field. It has been an awesome time - but I know we all won't miss the rain & rainouts!

Here's to a great 2010!

GAME Tues Sept 15th
Bobby spoke to the coach of the other team last evening and he stated that his team could not play next Saturday (the 19th) due to parents signing their kids up for soccer.
So it appears that we will have our next scrimmage game this TUESDAY September 15th at 6:30pm. The location has not been determined, but there were discussions about having it at Park Hill.
Please stay tuned - but just wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible that we will be having another game Tuesday.
Thank you for everyone's patience as these last minute changes/decisions keep coming up! Your boys are doing AWESOME and we hope they are having fun!

Scrimmage Tuesday Sept 8th
We will again scrimmage on Tuesday, September 8th at 6:15 (game will start at 6:30). Again, please have your child wear any color blue t-shirt for this game. We will play at Park Hill High School, on the west side of the school. The coach of the Knights told me that he has the practice field, next to the 2 girls softball fields, reserved for Tuesday. Apparently the field is just "average at best" and has no bleachers...so bring lawn chairs. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Here are all the photos I took at the Scrimmage game last week. I tried to get several of each player, some are really good and a few they have eyes closed, etc. Since I am a scrapbooker I have to have them all, so I put every photo in slide show. I would be happy to email any of the photos of your player to you, just shoot me an email at micahzane@yahoo.com. Please specify which player if yours as I am still learning all the names to put with faces.

Baseball Pants
Some of you wanted to know where we got Ty's baseball pants. Here is the link.
http://www.baseballrampage.com/Baseball/Baseball-Clothing/Baseball-Clothing/134/134/150/2513/Pro-Style-Youth-Baseball-Pant.html
He got a size SMALL. They fit him awesome.
Washed them for the first time last night and the material is ok - not super best quality though.
I am happy enough with them that I would buy him the same kind in the future.
Thanks!

Rain, Rain
Well, the plan is to check the league Rainout line on Tuesday to see if the fields will be available for practice (you can check it too if you would like, the link is on our blog). If we cannot practice Tuesday, we will definitely find another day to squeeze in.
Got word that the league may move first Fall games into next week (Tues or Wed) due to the rain this week. So we may not have our first game this Saturday as we had originally thought.
Sorry I don't have many answers - just passing along what I know. Stay tuned!

Just wanted to remind you all practice is tonight at 6:00pm. Remember to bring water!
Also, don't feel like your son has to wear baseball pants at practice tonight. It's too hot and we won't be doing any sliding. Just dress him comfortable.

Practice Recap
With our first practice under our belts, I wanted to give a big hand to all the Lil' Dirtbags. The kids did a great job hanging with the coaches and battling the heat. I think I can speak for all of the coaches and say we saw a lot of good things from this team. We may be little and young, but the kids all have big hearts and a ton of desire!
I heard so many funny things from these kids but the three that stand out are: Dawson K., the first winner of the practice prize, must of asked me 20 times if he could have the prize and what it was. So Dawson must have been destin to win it - Great throw Dawson K, you are also the winner of a new nickname "Questions". Second, when Brody H. was asked who his favorite baseball player was (during stretch time), he replied "Babe Ruth." Not sure if he knows who Babe Ruth was, but I loved the answer! Last, when Matty W. was asked what his last name was, he replied Mikey. Well Mikey is actually his older brother, but I thought it was a funny response.
A recap of practice through a little chaos: At the first station, the kids worked on throwing the ball and attempting to hit a bucket. This fundamental drill was to work on proper throwing, arm strength, and accuracy. The second station, the kids were working on fielding with Coach Kevin. The kids were getting in the proper fielding position and fielding the ball in front of them and using their throwing hand to secure the ball in the glove "alligator". Lastly, the kids hit live pitching, some for the first time, and did a great job.
A short recap of the quick parents meeting:
1.) We need sponsors! Sponsors will be displayed on our future sponsor banner.
2.) Any type of money donation will be gladly accepted.
3.) Financial expenses and donations will ALWAYS be transparent.
4.) Uniforms - will be in soon. Thanks to Jenn Wolz for all of her hard work. The jersey tops will have a lot of wiggle room, but they are the smallest jersey on the market. This should allow a few seasons in this jersey.
5.) Fundraising: NO candy bar sales!!!! Coming soon information about Super Bowl Jackpot and a Poker Tournament (Febuary 2010).
6.) Parent T-shirts and ball caps are available through Jenn Wolz. Carly Hufft will be introducing some baseball clothing items as well.
See you next Tuesday and keep practicing with the boys!!!!

Info For Our First Fall Ball Practice
Please remember to bring your registration form, $85, and birth certificate.
Practice will begin at 6:00pm at Platte Purchase Fields. I am still waiting to hear back from Clay-Platte officials on what field we will practice on. I will let you know hopefully by Monday night/early Tuesday.
