Players and Former Players

So, I started a new link on the lower right because I have found a few of Eric's players and former players from years past and their cute little families. I wanted to differentiate my link list so hopefully, we can compile a few more and it will be a fun place to be able to see what everyone is doing in their lives after UV or even CEU!!!

So for any of you wives (because we know this is "our" thing) run into our blog and would like to be added to the list PLEASE leave a comment and we will try and get this going. Also, if you know of anyone else please let me know and we can see if they would like to be added. I have 3 or 4 already but for some reason it's not linking so hopefully I can maybe get the right addresses.

Since we are on this subject I will just share with you my very biased opinion of my husband and the way he approaches his job and his communication with players. Eric comes home every day with his cell phone to his ear. My kids totally joke with him to the point that he will sometimes stay in the truck just so he doesn't have to hear the wrath of the family as he walks through the door. He has know been coaching college baseball for over 15 years (crazy to think) and in that time has met so many amazing young men. It's so hard to explain. We have become accustom to MANY farewells, weddings and soon baby blessings.

Anyway, the phone thing... after all these years of boys coming in and out of the programs Eric still knows what they are all doing in their lives. He talks to them on the phone ever so often and he has a genuine, I don't know... how do you say this without sounding totally sensitive (which we know would be bad since we are talking about grown men) He genuinely cares about each one of these young men.

Besides the plethora of baseball knowledge that my husband has (HAHA) I, personally, think that one of his best coaching abilities or whatever the hay you would call it would be the ability to gain a mutual respect between he and his players. He seriously is amazing and cares so much about each of these guys. Okay, can't really explain it and if he reads this he will probably kill me but... I really have always appreciated the relationships he has made in baseball.

So - for all you players and former players.... would love to catch up on your families!!!
