After 7 years, I have played my last game as a Post 757 Colt....

For the past 7 years this team has been where I've spent my summer. A lot of early mornings and late nights, a lot of games in the hot summer sun.

While playing for 757 I was able to play against teams from 2 different countries and teams from 12+ states. I was fortunate to play games in a few different states as well (Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina). Not many ball players get to go out of state year after year and play against top level competition, but I was able to do that while playing for Post 757.

The best part of the past 7 years wasn't the baseball, don't get me wrong the baseball was awesome! But for me the best part was the people I've met during this time. I've met so many great people from teammates to other kids' parents, as well as the coaches. This really was my second family... I wanna say thank all of the teammates I've had through the years and to their parents as well. I also wanna say thank you to all of the coaches I've had while at 757 (Kim Ward, Steve Chester, Brett Mavis and Tom Barr). They helped make me a better ball player.

Most of all I wanna say thank you to my mom and dad. Without there support and them sacrificing so much I would never have been able to experience this, and for that I am grateful. It has been one heck of a ride, and I wouldn't change it for anything!

To the entire American Legion Post 757 organization, Thank You.
