I make a trip every year to LSU-Eunice for their annual prospects camp. This year I brought a left-handed pitcher, and a outfielder. 100 players all hoping for a chance to keep playing. They come to Eunice with hope, the coaches are nice and the camp is run well.
The only problem is that LSUE is a defending national champion. Many of these players are only average high school players. There are a few real prospects and they are obvious in this group. It takes 5 hours to divide the pretenders from the contenders.
Then the LSUE team took the field. Their slick fielding shortstop, was mine last year. Sam Carriere started at SS for us for 4 years, and he looks great. We have been fortunate to have many quality players, and he was one of the best.
We are weeks away from starting our 2011 campaign, and a few hours watching a quality college team was just what the doctor ordered.
I just can't wait to begin, I love this game!
