I watched the movie "Rookie" last night (have seen it several times) It really is a "must see" if you haven't. It's a true story about a high school coach who makes a deal with his high school team that he will tryout for the major leagues if they win their district title -- which they do. In his late 30's he can still bring the heat (upper 90's). But he has to leave his wife and kids and work his way through the minors. He comes upon a difficult stretch struggles with his decision and considers quiting and going home. Then one night he stumbles upon a little league game and realizes his love for the game. The next day he comes into the locker room and tells his teammate with a big smile: "We get to play baseball today." Well, I'm just as fortunate...off to practice -- "I get to coach basketball." To all those coaches out there -- have a great day!
