Until next year!

The experience may be over for this year but the memories will last a lifetime.

A hearty THANK YOU goes to the Bermuda Little League Officials, the Coaches, the parents who came and those parents who remained in Bermuda and had the harder job of watching from a distance. We give a big Thank You to all our supporters and friends.


But the biggest THANK YOU of all goes to the kids, without who there wouldn't have been a reason to come and who impressed all with their effort and heart. They showed us that, despite planning, logistics, crummy hotel rooms and illnesses...

They just wanted to play Baseball!!!

St. Maarten vs Bermuda 4 - 3

As the US Virgin Islands team was out sick, St. Maarten obliged us with a friendly game, their second today. It was our best game yet.

Here is a slideshow of pictures from the game. You can click on it to see the gallery.



Here is the video. It is unedited to give more of the flavor of the game and is about 30 minutes long.

Narrow loss 4 - 3

Quick update that the boys barely lost to St. Maartens by one run.

I hope to have video and pictures up on the blog tonight.
