St. Thomas Reith & Associates, Peewee House League, 2015 (St. Thomas Minor Baseball)

It never fails to amaze me how quickly the season ends or how, even on the twilight end of a sticky summer day, you can feel fall in the wind after the handshakes as the diamond starts to empty. I’ve never been good at endings, particularly the end of summer.

By a number of measures, it was a fantastic season for St. Thomas Reith and Associates in peewee house league. Thanks to all the players for their effort and great attitudes. You're a fantastic bunch of kids and I think you learned a lot this year. A huge thank you to all the parents, a fantastic group that make my job easy. Finally, a big thank you to Reith & Associates for sponsoring our team. We couldn't do it without you.
