Hey guys,

I am having a blast… I was asked to manage/coach a baseball team here in Kirksville. This is a group of 16-18 yr old guys, and a lot of them are Stevens’s friends. We are called the Mustangs, and will be playing a bunch of games both in Kirksville and on the road this summer.

Most of are games are on the weekends, and we will be traveling to Booneville, Canton, Quincy, Wayland, Lewistown… and a bunch of other places.

This is a great group of guys. They are all good athletes and several of them are on the High School Football and Wrestling teams. I am excited to have Matt Small (my nephew) on the team. He is a strong guy and can really pitch and hit. Right now we are getting organized, having practice, and finding sponsors.

One thing I am finding out is that baseball at this level is not cheap. KBSA is our covering organization here in Kirksville, but we will be playing Senior Babe Ruth and American Legion Leagues. We will also play some High School and JV College type teams.

I will try to keep bogging about this experience as the summer goes on… GO MUSTANGS!!!
