My favorite part of summer is watching my kids play baseball. My oldest son has played with the same coach for three years. For the first two years, the team was mostly the same players and the team worked well together on and off the field. But this year is a little different. This the first year, the coaches picked players from a draft (no parent requests for a coach) and it is also the first year that some of our players were eligible to participate in a travel team. So the team has only four of the original players. It’s an entirely new dynamic.
