Share your Barnesville memories

Kenny

I don't have access to facebook, but this jogs memories of good times playing little league against each other and I still remember the time your scored a winning run from second base when I threw a ball away from first base trying to catch you at third and you cruised in for the winning run as the ball rolled down the left foul line area.

There were some really good times during those days. And I learned a lot about life and how to behave correctly (if I wanted to play). Like the time I was pitching and my father was field umpire and missed a call at second that extended an inning. That was really pleasant for me when I went back to the dugout. I remember telling him the guy was clearly out (which he was, but dad expected the play at first rather than a force out at second) after the game. But I learned you keep playing even when the call goes against you and that was far more valuable than winning or losing a game.

I still carry those lessons with me today along with fond memories, even of my errors(which were too many to remember).
