Here in a few hours, approximately 30 former Carroll County High School Cavaliers are going to step 🚶‍♂️ into the Batters Box, knock the dust of their spikes and swing for the fences at Bill Worrell Field.

First things First, Wow 👏 is that a Trophy 🏆!!!!

New Baseball ⚾️ Coach Casey Burcham and JV Baseball Coach Steve (One for the Thumb) Combs have visions for their program going forward. Today is Step #1 in that direction and it begins with the Home Run Derby and will be followed by two Alumni Baseball ⚾️ games.

Raising Money 💰 for your program is a HUGE part of the process nowadays and one needs to be creative on ways to go about things. Burcham and Combs have created something that is in my wheelhouse of ideas 💡 because it centers around inclusion.

Inclusion makes any list of my 10 favorite Words in the English language. When you create an idea 💡 the number 1 Goal should be to have a way for as many people to participate in form or another. Everything taking place today on The Hill does just that.

Back to the Home Run Derby….

I pitched a couple of thoughts at Casey & Combs ( that name might stick) about ways folks could further enjoy the Home Run contest. They agreed to let me test them out as long as I was willing to be responsible for them.

So, here’s something that folks can be thinking about between now and 2pm – just how many Home Runs will leave the ballpark during the entirety of the contest 🙄 ?

Today should be a Great Day for a Great Program and I’m looking forward to seeing it play itself out !

Admission is just $5 and there will be plenty of concessions available throughout the day !
