The Dugout: 33 Years With Other People's Kids and Mine

From the Introduction:

These are the stories of my thirty-three years of coaching youth sports. Baseball, soft- ball, and basketball.

I was honorably discharged from the US Navy in September 1969.

Fortunate to be hired right away South-Central Bell.

Married Cathy Kimberlin on December 31,1969.

That next spring I had the idea of coaching boys' baseball. Do not know why I

never had the desire for that at any time in my life.

Decided to go to Pinson Valley Youth Association, where my brother and I played

from ages twelve through sixten, for me; my brother was two years younger.

Previously played at Trussville from eight through eleven.

I was aware most parks had sign-ups and drafts by the second Saturday in March.
