Taylor Swift is continuing her concert tour that will go down in the History Books 📚. It’s the Era’s tour and regardless of which side of the fence you stand on regarding Ms. Swift, there’s no questioning the size of the Tour.
The craze over the Tour led a marketing genius involved with Peyton Manning came up with a shirt that showed the Era’s of Peyton’s career, from the University of Tennessee to Indianapolis and finally Denver.
Probably the coolest T-shirt that I never bought!
That brings us to Junior Varsity Baseball Coach Steve Combs. I am a big fan of the Combs part of Casey and Combs ( anyone that has been reading our site this week already knows how I feel about the front end of the duo) so I was thrilled to see that Coach Combs would be breaking his story down to Era’s!
We were really hoping to catch more Florida League action tonight but the league takes Monday night off. This leaves Tropicana Field as the consolation prize.
Back to Coach Combs and the lead in to his Era’s Tour…
” I Never thought I would be writing anything like this! If you know me at all you don’t mention Carroll County Baseball to me unless you are ready for a long conversation. For me it started at the young age of 9. I had just finished baseball practice at Oakland and the men’s softball league was playing after my practice. My Dad’s team was playing the first game and one of his players had picked up his son from baseball practice and it was picture day for Varsity baseball and he was still in his uniform, so I had to talk to him and find out where he was playing.
He told me all about Carroll County baseball,Coach Worrell, Coach Whittington and how proud he was to be a Cavalier baseball player. At that point I bound and determined to experience what this young man was had let me in on. From this point on Cavalier Baseball was right up there beside the Yankees.( in a nine year olds mine)
Then I realized that one of the players that my dad was playing against had the very same ball cap as the player that I had just encountered,so after the game I had to talk to this guy, this is when I got to know Coach Mike Bolen and he filled me in on the JV program.
From this point on he kept me working my game ( keep that shoulder up,swing it like you mean it, stay in front of the ball and most importantly don’t throw curve balls I will teach you that when you get to me). We will skip 4 years of hard work and determination (only 44 more years to go).”
Folks, this is just the prelude to the story and we love Coach for opening up his Heart !
We will return later with more of the Steve Combs story !
