Well we are about down to the last couples weeks.
The talent level in Illinois is getting better and better. There are also a lot of quality teams from what I have seen all summer. This ranging from 18/u to 12/u.
This week is the Lemont Rockers annual Jim Didi College Exposure event. Big event for our organization and honoring a man who meant so much to the softball world. We have some very quality teams at 18 and 16/u and probably some of the best 14/u teams in the area as well.
Rocker try ours are on August 6th, 7th, and 8th. Registration starts at 5:30, please show up early to get registered. An electronic form will also be available on our homepage in the next day or two.
Here is a quote to live life by. There are a lot of people who could learn a lot from this poem!
The Guy in the Glass
by Dale Wimbrow, (c) 1934
When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.
For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the guy in the glass.
