That’s a real shame. The two programs I have held as the standard in recent years for both baseball and more importantly running their programs with class have been Elder under Coach Thompson and St. Xavier under Coach Sherlock. The players and coaches involved in those games have made them a joy to watch regardless of who won on that particular day. That they’ve played each other three (and sometimes four) times in a season has made the rivalry a real treat to watch.Really?
While I doubt there’s anyone available who would compare to Coach Sherlock, here’s hoping that St. X can find a new head coach who can teach their teams not just about baseball, but more importantly about character, in the same way he has. Good luck to Coach Sherlock and hopefully we’ll get to see him around ballparks for years to come!
And here’s hoping for many more years of Coach Thompson in purple!
