America has once again shown us that she is not worthy of picking our heros.  Tiger Woods, for all of the good that he has done, is being destroyed by the media for “private indiscretions”.  While on the other hand, America has continued to celebrate “heros” like Babe Ruth for the better part of a century although his public and private indiscretions read like an extreme reality show on steroids (no pun intended).  I thought about some names for Babe Ruth’s reality show and this is what I came up with:  “Bamboozled by the Bambino”, “I’m too sexy for the law”, or maybe “Big Pimp’n in the MLB”.

Don’t get it twisted, Tiger’s not perfect but he’s still our hero.

Saturday, January 9th from 3pm til 4:30pm, continuing every Saturday throughout the winter.  The camp will focus on hitting, pitching, and defense.  The camp is ideal for players between the ages of 9 and 12. 

The camp cost $125 for both days or $75 to attend one of the camp days. Both days are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at noon.

The Monday, Dec. 28, camp will feature hitting drills with individual instruction from camp clinicians. The second camp session Tuesday, Dec. 29, will feature defensive drills with a focus on individual instruction by position.
