2009 Resolution Revolution

Baseball players and parents are great. We didn't expect much response from thisyet we received 59 e-mails from our fans. Some were general, some were very specific and all involved improvement over the past year. Thanks to all that responded. Most were very similar, so we just printed just one of each type of response. We will just print the initials and state of each that responded per the request of many who e-mailed us. We will start with the players, then the parents.
