knowledge and awareness of baseball at all
levels. The
NCBCA staff handles concerns
with current issues, rules changes, coach -

coaches through award programs and
acknowledges other contributions made to

grass is damp and green in the morning and the kids are
trying to hit the curve ball.  ~Pete Hamill
