We are the champions!

After four games in two days, and a increasingly more painful sunburn, the White Sox are the Orangeville Little League City Champions. We finished 3-1 in the playoffs, including a big-time win over the Yankees in the final.

It was quite flattering that at the end of the final when we were handing out the trophies, I was the only coach who got cheered by his players. I also received a nice keychain, and a nicely framed team picture, as I was the only coach without a kid in the league, so I would not be able to have one. Oh yeah, and the dumping of water on my head was a nice touch. Thanks Josh!

I won't bore you with the details of the games - instead I'll just scan the newspaper articles and put them up.

Instead, I'll simply say thank you to all the kids who came out week in and week out - Darius, Troy, Ryan, Charles, Dave, Jesse, Josh, Josh, and Mitchell, and also to Johnathan and Kyle, who, although they didn't come out as often, were still there when possible. I would also like to thank all the parents who made it possible, the umpires - Brett is possibly the the best umpire I have ever seen - and all the players on the other teams who helped our team out during the regular season - Ty, Brendan, Kirkland, Sean, Christian, and anyone else who's names escape me.

Thank you thank you thank you everyone for an amazing season!
