The Longest Baseball Awards Banquet In Recorded History
June 8, 2008 1 Comment
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.
Funny one. I love the baseball stats on the 4.5 marathon. Goofy about all the comments. Nuts actually.
Congrats to your son on the award. That’s excellent.
