The Longest Baseball Awards Banquet In Recorded History

Probably a good thing that I waited 48 hours to write this.  I have calmed down some. Instead of a long post, here are some key stats:

• 4.5 hours long
• Each coach talked about each kid on each of the 4 teams, approximately 110 kids
• Two coaches took way too long per kid
• 16 quasi-inappropriate comments about individual players by the varsity coach alone
• 2 embarrassing and 4 good things said about my son over 3.5 hours after the start
• 1 varsity most improved player award taken home by my son D

Good intentions but poorly paced. At least the food was good, and most importantly my son knew that I was there on a night that was important to him. I came close to staying late at work like most other nights. Didn’t. Good call.
