players all doing their part and contributing their best - teamwork wins.

How did you get started and who introduced you to the sport?
I got started with baseball when I was very young because my older brother would always play tennis baseball with his friends in the back yard and as his little brother, I looked up to him and wanted to do everything that he did. This introduced me into the sport and of course my dad was there in the back yard playing as well as my brother.
What's the best part about being on a team?
The best part about playing on a team is that your not alone in the field. Although the game is dependent on players individual contributions, your teammates are always there to back you up and encourage you. Also, I enjoy the family aspect of a team. When you practice and play together everyday, your team becomes a family.
What is the best part of playing for Sharon High School?
