Dirtbags

That would be the name of Braxton's travel ball team. Yes, travel ball, what I said we would never do! We have turned it down for several years and did not think twice about it. After last season we realized, that may be  the route we needed to go. We were approached during All-Stars by a coach that had been watching him and he wanted Braxton bad. He was starting a new team, new players, everything new...except the name bc they do have older Dirtbag teams. He talked with us and was willing to work with us through everything. We really debated this for a while and let Braxton decide what he wanted to do. He said 100 % this is what he wanted. So here we are...baby steps...into the world of travel ball. The fall is a good time to ease in. We will see how Braxton adjust and go from there. So far, he loves it. Kid pitch is a big adjustment and it will take some time but he has great potential, and we are so glad that such a good man/coach saw something in him. We are looking forward to this new chapter and I hope that we made the right decision.
