The baseball message board features a post from a player’s parent today. We want to highlight it here:

I just wanted to thank everyone for the support you’ve provide my sons (Keith and Kyle) over the past 10 years. It has been one heck of a ride and I have enjoyed every second.

The memories these teams have provided will last a lifetime and as everyone knows, the program is in excellent shape with O’Connor at the helm.

Thanks again to the coaching staff, the fans, the ushers, and everyone involved with the program. I’ve had the time of my life.

See you all next fall.

Go Hoos!
