Bayside Blues Mission Statement
We are committed to becoming fundamentally sound softball players.
We will challenge ourselves every day to improve, both as athletes and as individuals.
We will always strive to be the best at whatever we do.
We understand the definition of team, and will always act as one.
We will be confident and determined.
We will be humble in victory and in defeat.
We will constantly ask ourselves ... how high?
There are three types of athletes: Winners, Losers, and Champions.
We know for which we strive.
DO YOU BELIEVE?
I believe in softball.
I believe in competition and camaraderie.
I believe in brackets, bubble gum and bang-bang plays.
I believe that practice attendance and preparation wins games.
I believe that there is more to being a good batter than just being a good hitter.
I believe taking Winter BP with a cheap bat will help me hit Summer homers with an expensive bat.
I believe in running out routine grounders and fly balls.
I believe it is better to be a smart base runner than a fast one.
I believe in nervous anticipation of a play at the plate.
I believe in infielders that think getting dirty is a part of the job description.
I believe in fast outfielders who do not hug the lines or play too deep.
I believe rattling bats can wake them up, and uncrossing them avoids bad luck.
I believe in wiping the morning dew off the ball, and squinting into the sunset.
I believe in saving an equipment catalog until the next issue replaces it.
I believe photographs, autographed balls and scorebook pages can be better than trophies.
I believe that there is no OFF-SEASON.
I believe in butterflies before the first game, and the long drive home after the final one.
I believe in showing appreciation to your family and friends who came to watch you play.
I believe the final score is part of the overall experience.
I BELIEVE IN SOFTBALL !!
