If you are a coach and interested in attending this clinic...there is NO charge to you with the possibility of gaining some valuable coaching tips. Hope you can attend.

This is a great opportunity for our local talent to be evaluated and recieve some quality instruction.

[highandtight]

Nick Venuto was just named scout of the year for the Houston Astros.

[Ruban9]

Will the players get an official grade, or is it mainly instruction?

[highandtight]

This will be an instructional clinic but these two guys will answer any questions that you may have including questions about your skill level. Again, these are two of the best. Mr. Santa has been with the Rockies since they began and Mr. Venuto was tops with the Astros this year. Don't miss out on this opportunity.

[highandtight]

Less than a week away. The weather is supposed to be good. I can't wait.

The greatest baseball mind in southeastern ohio is teaching at Alexander High School.
Coach Mac should be putting on a clinic with all his vast knowledge.

BR, not sure what your post has to do with the topic. If you have a beef with me, I would hope we can resolve it somewhere other than here.

[full of it]

No beef with you highandtight, just stating the obvious. The clinic sounds like a great opportunity for our local talent to get exposed. Think hard you know who I am. I used to be on the "gravy" train.

[highandtight]

so you either have two user names or are partners in crime with BR. I'd rather not think hard, it tends to give me a headache. If there are any players down on the river you may want to let them know about this. There are usually several prospects down that way.

[full of it]

Sounds like you used all your free time during the day to figure it out. Hopes things are going well. I will put the word out on the river and see if anyone is interested. Don't work to hard(ha ha )

My hats off to Mr. Bishop and Mr. McGlothin for their efforts to make this camp possible. Also would like to say Thanks to Mr. Santa and Mr. Venuto for their time and efforts and all the knowledge they shared to the players and what few area coaches attended.

It was a very nice and well ran camp! These are the types of things we need in the SE District! Let's keep this fine tract going well into the future!

Once again CUDOS to all those who organized this camp and to Mr. Santa and Mr. Venuto for sharing their knowledge with all of who attended.
