The Final Season

Today the movie The Final Season came out on DVD. I was not one of the people who tried to make my movie debut as an extra BUT I was excited to purchase mine because I have had the pleasure to get to know Jim Van Scoyoc. He is the Norway Coach who had 19 State Championship Teams, so he must know something about Baseball. http://www.finalseason.com/indexFlash.php?page=index - link to the site.

In January, we had some decisions to make as far as who Luke was going to play baseball for this spring. It was driving me crazy so I decided to investigate. I stopped in at The Perfect Game, this is an indoor practice facility, and NO ONE waited on me. So, I went into the cages and I saw this old man in bibs. I went up and introduced myself and it was Jim VanScoyoc. (He is the man in the red shirt in the picture above.) He said he had heard about Luke...I know he is only 9 but his baseball mentality, drive and play, is way above others his age. Jim, talked to me, answered all of my questions and thanked me for being a concerned Mom. He said "I have never had a Mom come with such great questions and concerns in all of my years of coaching." I was so excited for Luke when I left, that Jim VanScoyoc would be one of his Coaches and mentors. Jim VanScoyoc said" It's not all about him, its about the kids he mentors to become Men Of The Game."

Schulte & Swann from Z102.9

This morning when I was driving home, st 6:45a.m., from my Kick Boxing Class, I heard on the radio that Schulte & Swann were at Walmart promoting the DVD. The only time I listen to 102.9 is in the morning because these two are soooo funny!! I am lucky I stay on the road at times. Then there are times I will sit in the garage until they are done with a story, and my family comes out and just laughs at me. Sorry, to go off on a tangent but this morning was one of those days......so I had to go out and say Hi to Schulte & Swann and chat for a while. Actually I was taking Luke to school and he heard them talking to Jim VanScoyoc and he said "Mom can you go get me the DVD and have Grandpa VanScoyoc sign it." How could I say no and isn't it cute that he calls him Grandpa....the reason for that is because Jim's two grandsons play ball with Luke.

I haven't even seen the movie yet but I am hoping to find time this week to get it in :)
