The End of a Journey.....

Tag Baxter #8

There once was a little boy who wanted nothing more than to play baseball. When he was just 8 years old he tried out for the local Super League baseball team. He wore his old soccer cleats. The coach, Carl Hermansen cut him from the team and kept ALL of his friends. This little boy was devastated. So were his parents. Instead of giving up, this little boy practiced EvEry day. He would go to the park with his mom and play catch. He would spend hours in the garage with his dad practicing his swing. All the while, his friends were playing the game and talking that baseball talk and walking that baseball swagger. His mom's heart would break every time she saw her son listening to them replay their latest game. That spring they decided not to have a tryout and keep the original team until the fall. So, this little boy would continue to practice and practice. Finally, fall came and he went to tryouts. They only had a couple of spots open. His mom went to each night of the tryout watching, observing, comparing, praying and all the while preparing her son for yet another disappointment. Well, all his hard work paid off and he made the team. After the first couple of practices they discovered this boy had an arm and he ended up replacing their old catcher...........His name is Tag

And he's never looked back.
