I will definitely be skipping a weekend game on a crappy field to join in on this event!!! I am glad the slots are still open. Players from my team and I will be filling some of these spaces today!!

The key is not the two groups but who is leading them. The leader must have some kind of common bond or connection and it is their job to blend the groups strengths to get a positive result. This happens in business all the time with mergers and if it is not addressed immediately .............the result is simple two factions not on the same page and there is no common goal. That's all you experiences Scott and it's not stragic but did interfere with your enjoying another baseball experience. When looking for players on my teams I look for many different aspects....ability, personality and I ask one simple question.....will this player mix with our core guys and buy into the goal?......which is......play ball, have fun ( win or lose) and not be a primadonna and become a virus. It's a challenge to keep everyone happy because everyone wants to win and there's nothing wrong with that but the true personalities come out and if there is finger pointing then I don't invite that player back no matter how good they might be on the field. This rule has never failed me and it makes for a much better dugout. Keep laughing Greenie and good luck with plans and tournaments in 2010. GO TIGERS in 2010!!!!!

Imagine the Orioles actually had 4 20 game winners on the same roster one year! Any team would be happy with one now days. Can't wait for the World Series contest to begin. Good luck in New Orleans..................make sure Newman has fun! I want him to come to West Palm this April. Keep smiling We were discussing this topic on the drive home from Cooperstown.
