Almost There

Thanks to some hard work from Bryan Jandt and Paul Knoll we were able to get the batting cages up and spread some lime on the bullpen mound and home plate area. The field is getting there, but not quite ready to play on.

Alumni Game Postponed to April 5th

Please read previous posting regarding the details of the Alumni Game.

First Week of Practice

We had a great turn out the first week of practice with 61 players showing up 9th - 12th grade. Tryouts were from 5:30 am - 7:00 am Monday through Wednesday. We had 27 players show up for a spot on the roster which will have 15 players. We have accomplished alot over the last four days and will be ready to go come game time the first week of April. Have a great Easter and time with your family.

Words to the Wise

You can tear down more between practices

than WE can build up during practices.

Sparta Baseball 2008

How hard we are willing to work will decide our fate for this coming year. The MVC is always a competitive conference and the teams that execute and have the least amount of physical and mental breakdowns will come out on top. Brett Favre's comment about still being able to show up on Sunday and play, but not having the drive the other six days to prepare is true for all of us. Alot of us enjoy baseball and playing during games. It is those that work hard in the off season and during practice that will succeed.
