Surprise, Surprise!



Last night Maureen and I went out so to speak. The baseball boosters hosted a fund raising dinner and I learned I travel in different circles than others. The planner was predicting $20,000 which I was silently unsure of happening. We/He did better. The final amount isn't in yet.

The money is going to fund a freshman baseball program, if allowed, and field updates. The players will have a nice place to go to work.

A good night was had by many and especially the Monarch baseball program.

The other purpose was to recognize people that have been special to the EUHS baseball program. Long-time statistician Chuck Knox, player and coach Jesus Banuelos, were recognized for their years of service with entry to the initial class of the Diamond Club.

Two special to me and many were Ray Strable and Brad Mills who were honored and had their jersey number retired, a first for the baseball program.
