Casey & Combs are checking all of the boxes early on in their Chase to run 🏃♂️ the absolute Best version of a Baseball program possible !
On display today was the Board of Stats the duo created in hopes of listing the top spots in every baseball category.
In the photo 📷 above you see the five members of the List that were present at today’s Celebration. Velvet Creed Leonard took a high quality version of the group and once I have that we will order a Canvas copy for everyone in the Photo 📷.
Left to Right, Casey Burcham, Rod Bryant, Hix Miller, Craig Worrell and Adam Nester. I feel pretty comfortable that I have that listed correctly but please 🙏 inform me if there’s any name listed incorrectly.
Snuck away from Bill Worrell Field long enough to lend my voice to the efforts of our Resident Angle, Vickey Ritchie. Today it was a twofer because the Celebrity visiting team was led by Brandi Cochran – Mitchell!
Vickey has made a few posts on her Facebook page that includes a slew of photos 📷 and a list of Thank Yous to everyone that gave of their time !
Anytime spent helping the efforts of Vickey Ritchie is time Well Spent!
For those out there with ties to the Carroll County Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 should check out Vickey’s latest posts 📫.
Thank You to Brandi and all of her Friends and Family 👪 members that suited up for today’s event !!
Today presented roughly 15-20 story lines and I wanted to start with one of my favorite columns – The coolest 😎 Person that I’ve never met !
Each time I meet the person at the top of the list I have to replace the name.
Before the day began the name on the Top of the List was Travis Austin. Most people would surprised by the fact that Travis and I had never met in person before today since we have teamed up a few times over the years.
As we do, from time to time, we will name the gentleman 🕴️to his right as Travis’s Cool Friend.
The next name to jump up into the Top Spot was Mason Crockett. This is/was for no other reason than our paths had never crossed before.
Very happy for Mr. Crockett for having earned the right to play Football at his dream school 🏫!
Such a pleasant experience to meet the impressive young man 👨!!
We don’t have membership cards here at OneofUs.Care but if we did, the young Lady 👩 pictured would be carrying a Platinum card. Proud to have Velvet Creed Leonard on our team !
So much coverage to follow over the next few days as well as a preview on the efforts of our Volleyball 🏐 Coach, Cindy Edwards….
The scene has shifted from one side of The Hill to the other now in order to assist Vickey Ritchie at the Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 event. Mr Jeremiah Mankins correctly guessed that six home runs would be hit !!!!!!
Plenty of information to share on the Day, once the Day comes to a close.
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 !
