A Pleasure To Watch

Yesterday I watched the Colorado 5A and 4A state championship games.
Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins won their 4th consecutive title, a 9-4 win over Ralston Valley in the 5A game.
In the 4A game, Mountain View won a thrilling 1-0 game over Broomfield, a game that went 9-innings.
I had no rooting interest, although I was pulling for Mountain View a bit since I liked their uniforms and Broomfield's uni's were an eyesore.
Anyway, the most pleasure I got from yesterday was simply watching four outstanding, well-coached teams, play tough, hustling hard-nosed baseball.
Too many baseball players, on all levels, from little league to the big leagues, don't play the game the right way. Too much gesturing and posturing for my liking. Also, the fundamentals of the game seem to have been lost on many players.
Not the case yesterday. Just a very enjoyable afternoon at All City Field in Denver.
