Attention: HS Baseball Players

Is this what you are looking for? Good luck to all the teams getting ready for the year tomorrow; it sure would be great to get one of these!

 

I've seen one of those up close, and it is pretty sweet.

 

It will not happen without hard work, talent, and a little luck along the way... Would love to have all of the above!

 

Very true- would love to sport one of those around one day.

 

That thing would look pretty sweet in Kelly Green.

And not North Lenoir or Greenville Rose Kelly Green. Cary Kelly Green.

 

Both my sons have one from last year's JH Rose championship run and I must say, it is pretty dang sweet. It is a special bond they will have with each other, their teammates, their high school and the Greenville baseball community for the rest of their lives.

I will add that for me, the championship was exciting but even if Rose did not win one while they were in high school and they did not have a ring, I would be just as thrilled from watching him compete in such a great game as baseball. Baseball has been good to my boys, championship or no championship. It has helped them develop into well rounded young men and given them a lot of friends and a lot of memories.

 

I got one 20 years ago and that was prett much our formula. I took this picture at Harding this past fall when I went back for a football game. It has held up well over the years.

 

Charlotte Harding.....

My older sisters were Harding grads a long time ago (late 60's & early 70's). I know back then Harding use to have a lot of really good baseball teams and that area of Charlotte had some really good players. Guys I went to elementary (Enderly Park) and junior high (Spaugh) with made it to the finals of the state for Harding (led by Dickie Noles) in 1975 where they lost to Greenville Rose and Coach RV's first state championship. Ironically my sons play for RV and Rose. We moved away from Charlotte when I was 14 so I didn't attend Harding. Thanks for bringing up some memories for me.

 

My oldest brother played on the '75 team that lost in the finals. Over thirty years later, he still has vivid recollections of the games' details.

Your sons have something special. For me, the ring is sweet and is a reminder that a group of young men lead by a great coach accomplished some really awesome things. But what I cherish more now is the bonds that i forged with the guys I played with. We will be friends for life and you just can't put a pricetag on that.

 

Who's your brother? From looking at your board name, his name wouldn't be Jamie?
