How Wide is Home Plate?

Some will know that I coach baseball. High school baseball with some Babe Ruth and Little League thrown in. Simplicity and complexness and attention to minutia rolled into one wonderful game. The is so much going on when so little seems to be happening. But that's not the only reason I coach baseball.

Life lessons are taught with this game, and that is true for many sporting activities. Baseball is what I connected with and baseball is what I use to teach about life. I was told by an old baseball friend about a story I needed to read. The story was told by John Scolinos a college coach. The story was told to a group of coaches at a coaches convention.  It sums up better and tells the tale of what I've been trying to do in one quick read. Baseball fan or not, you should read this.
