sangster05 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 This 18 yr old team should roll through to the world series. Youre 9 deep on the hill and its not just any arms. Youve got 9 very good pitchers. This team is better than the team that won it in 2002. They might not lose a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mekih Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 This is amazing! Aaron McFarland got the Co-pitching award!! That's not bad for a 1B/3B man. Great for Him!! Too bad the school coach chose not to use him!! Congraduations to all and I hope you guys go a long way and have a lot of fun! Play the ball-throw it , hit it, field it; hustle all the time; run out all batted balls, chase all batted balls until they hit the ground, let no ground ball get past you. Out fielders, put a knee down to stop all ground balls. Infielders, get a quick look at your target before you throw and adjust your feet to make good throws. Play hard and be good sportsman. Have no fear-have confidence! 2008 Babe Ruth League Awards 18 yr old MVP VJ Bunner (Vid) 16 yr old MVP Sammy Sparrrow (PNG) Co-Pitching Award Aaron McFarland (Ned) Aaron Bender (WB) Sportsmanship Will Fontnow (Vid) 17/18 yr old Tournament Team Adam Broussard...Nederland Will Fontnow...Vidor Stephen McDonough..Lum Aaron McFarland...Nederland Chad Sims....Vidor Eric Bender.....Westbrook Justin Richard...Nederland Austin Sangster...PNG Randall Courville......Hamshire-Fannett Mitch Todd......PNG Jude Vidrine....Nederland Jon Carnahan....PNG Ryan Sampere...Nederland VJ Bunner...Vidor JJ Garcia…PNG Eric Harrington...PNG Taylor Robichau...Vidor Ben Jones....LCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besbolbenbedygud Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 even more amazing..............your comparing pitching in babe ruth leagues with pitching in High School Baseball.........lol and I'm not downing the league admin....I'm an alum!! and loved every minute of it!!!! Keep improving Aaron...you'll get your time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mekih Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 even more amazing..............your comparing pitching in babe ruth leagues with pitching in High School Baseball.........lol and I'm not downing the league admin....I'm an alum!! and loved every minute of it!!!! Keep improving Aaron...you'll get your time!! Hey, I'm sure Aaron will keep trying to improve and he appreciates that last statement. But you hurt my feelings when you laugh. If you look at the rosters of all the guys who played this year as shown somewhere else besides this all-star list, there were a lot of really good high school players playing in this league, such as, Bunner, Harrington, Carnahan, Todd, Robichau, Jones, Fontnow, McDonough, Sims, Vidrine, Sampere, etc, you get the idea. These were some of the best in their districts, so, I am still amazed at what McFarland has done. Of course, it's not the same as high school ball, the adrenalin is not flowing and the crowds are small and the rivalry is not there but the skill and talent doesn't leave those kids back at the school. So please, don't laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gladiator2 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 There is a difference when all that you are asked to throw is 2 or 3 innings instead of 7 and that's pretty much how they played this year in Babe Ruth. It's still a nice accomplishment considering the names mentioned above. Good Luck to all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EASYNOW Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Babe Ruth is a great organization. They do not profess to be the best team in the area. Looks like to me only the scores and recap of games are posted. There is no need to "toot their own horns" as so many do on here. Judging from the rosters many kids seem to be having fun. I recognize many names that have been the front runners of their high school teams' success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meat Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Wow...what a roster. I challenge anyone to find one of these highly touted select teams that could play with that team because I don't think there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrier Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Wow...what a roster. I challenge anyone to find one of these highly touted select teams that could play with that team because I don't think there is one. I agree. This has got to be one of the strongest squads they have put together in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adminbaberuth Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 For $75.00, you get a hat that you can keep, jersey you must turn in, 12 games no practice and you must chase foul balls from the dugout even if your the MVP and signed at Div 1. If you strike out with the bases loaded, your teamates might rib you, if your hammered on the mound don't look to the dugout. In 10 years your teamate might deliver your baby, sell you a set of tires or bail you out of jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to all that.. you get to make and be with friends that you may be lucky enough to keep for a lifetime. Some of the new friends may only be in each others lives for the summer. I know that after many summers of ball there has been lots of laughter and lots of friends made. Some of them are not even from mid county. After months of high school drills and long practices and screaming from the stands about what is not "fair", it is nice to sit in the stands and watch these wonderful young men laugh at each other and have fun. It could be worse... they could be home with nothing to do and be in the parents hair....hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adminbaberuth Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Mid County's 17-18 beat Wharton in the championship game. They went undefeated with 3 wins. Aaron Bender (WB) got the win going 6 innings with Ryan Sampere (Ned) closing the 7th. Just by memory Taylor Robichau (Vid) had a double and VJ Bunner (Vid), Randall Courville (HF) had a couple of hits. Jon Carnahan (PNG) was chosen the MVP in the tournament. Mid County 16's after running into the pitching of Kyle Looper (Wharton) the BC crowd will remember him from the playoffs, came back in game 3 to win the 16 yr old title. Dylan Mulhollan (BC) got the win and Jackson Broussard (Ned) finished nicely for the 16's. Sean O'Connell (Kelly) won the MVP by going 8-10 with 9 rbi's. The 17-18's move on to El Dorado Ark and the 16's to Fort Smith, Ark for the regional tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
