Message to Myers Park Fans and Others

For the new posters from MP that have been coming on here lately and do not know who this is, it is Woodard. The Moderators on this board work extremely hard to keep these boards a great place for high school baseball fans, players and coaches to come on here and talk baseball.

I hear ya that you are pumped about last night's game and games before that...and there is NO QUESTION that ya'll have been the best fans that I have ever played in front of to date. But leave it at that.

The team gets fired up when we see you guys out there. The tailgating, the "K's", the pans, the bells, the hollarin, etc. is awesome.

I know that none of you guys stole from Hopewell and that none of yall condone it, that is not how MP students are. I hope that officials find out who did steal from Hopewell and when they do that the ones responsible are punished. I guarantee you that the MP fans will take good care of them since they are getting all of the blame for the crime.

But seriously though MP fans, the team is asking that you do keep doing everything that you are doing minus the "trash posting" and stuff of that nature. We appreciate all of you guys support, yall are the best.

For Hopewell...you guys did play your butts off (both times we played yall). Cruse threw a great game. I very much enjoyed battling you guys. Y'all are a class act and play the game the right way. The same goes for your fans. Tell Coach Billings that anytime he wants to wear MP Green that there is a coaching spot over here for him. (He will know what I mean)

All in all, you guys had a great year. Remember, every team has to end their season with a loss, except for 1. You guys should be proud.

And for Cruse...there are many more battles to come, starting with March 31 at Knights Castle.

For North Meck...the match up friday should be a great one. Bring a ton of your fans and students and lets see how loud we can make the place. As for our team, we look forward to playing some quality ball with you guys with our mouths shut and our hats shakin in front of the dugout.

To everyone not affiliated with the schools, the truth is that the students at MP have A LOT of pride in their school and will occasionally say something here and there that should not be said, but what fans don't? It's just magnified due to the large support. Nobody is going to notice what a couple of students say towards me while there are 100 students on my side saying the same stuff. All I am trying to say is, we at Myers Park are very much not rich, not spoiled and not attempting to bash others at a personal level. At least, anymore than any other place with the amount of fan support that we are so fortunate to have.

I really hope that this will end the negative posting by our fans, but nothing else. I also hope that from here on out people are a little less sensitive after playing at our place and can focus more on the high quality baseball that is being played within the fences, because I guarantee you that that is what you are going to get if you come to the North/ Myers Park game Friday night.

Best of luck to you guys up there at North.

 

I predict that it's going to be fairly loud at the Myers Park/North Meck game. Ain't nothing wrong with a little noise ... I'm already a little deaf anyway, so it don't bother me much.

Seriously Rob ... you know how I feel about you ... you're the best. Good luck to you guys at "The Park".

 

A class post from a classy young man. Thanks Rob.....NC is right....you're the best. Good luck to you and your team. Good luck this summer and at UNC as well.

 

The outfield K's are GREAT!!!Hopefully next game someone will provide you guys with something to sit on besides buckets!!! An outstanding new tradition!!!

 

Well, well, well...what can you expect from a NM fan..calling Jack Sink Field "The Park". That's sacreligious...everyone knows it is called "The Corral".....okay NC..just for that, I'm going to have to ring a cowbell in your ear

...and Phantom..sitting on a bucket is perfect for the Corral

I have heard so much about the MP crowd that I decided to check it out for myself. Here is my thoughts.

I sat down in the middle of the students and loved it. They were funny (for the most part), supported their team and were loud..I mean really LOUD!.They tried to get ol' Braves to wear a MP hat and ring a cowbell..but I had nothing to do with that...no sir. Only thing Braves did was to beat on a few pots and pans, but I couldn't help that...it's that Native American blood in me that comes out with the beating of drum..er..pans. But I had a great time, witnessed no cursing and volunteered to umpire the game, since we had to wait for an hour.

Friday night, there will be two Brave's adopted kids pitching against each other..Tom Porter vs Rob Wilson. Someone asked me who I was pulling for....and I had to tell them the truth.

It is depending on the quantity of cookies by Mrs. Wilson vs a slice"s" of cake by Mrs. Porter...I can't wait!!!! Oh yeah, the game will probably be pretty good too.
