Senior baseball players thank coaches

Sentinel photo/Jared Putnam The 2007 baseball seniors.

The senior baseball players would like to take this opportunity to thank Coach Roxbury and Coach Reese for all their time and effort that they have given us during the last 4 years of baseball.

Not for just being our coaches but also for being our good friends and role models. When we look at the little picture, more wins would have been nice. But when we look at the big picture, baseball is a very short time in our lives and the other lessons that we have learned are much more important. These lessons are things that we can carry with us as we go farther in life.

We would also like to thank your wives and children for giving up their time with you so that you could be with us. So as we go our separate ways we hope we don't lose contact. That so often happens after graduation.

Just know that the lessons we learned from you will not soon be forgotten.
