I get a warm feeling these kids just got along 100% and are full of “perspective”

Hats off to Bourne and recruiting a collection of individuals who put team first over any personal goals. The Mark of a Champion!

Coach Mac, A pitching staff does not perform like that without leadership at the top.

Congratulations to you for your hard work and management of the greatest set of arms in the Cape this season.

I would like to thank our coaching staff:
Harvey Shapiro, Josh MacDonald, Jordan Wyckoff, Blake Kangas, the great players, and our loyal fans for an incredible, magical and surreal season. Bryan Morgado…thanks for the quote of the season that I will never forget;-).

Thanks to the Board of Directors, the Interns, the Host Families, and UCT who do so much behind the scenes that is never recognized just to get the game on each day.

Thanks to everyone outside the community rooting for Bourne to win its first championship…you know who you are!

As the summer baseball season slams shut so quickly, know that the recruiting of next year’s team is already underway and we look forward to defending our title in 2010.

PS…Tunkel will ALWAYS be a funny word!

It’s over. Congrats Bourne!!!!!!!!
Has anyone listened to the Bourne teamline announcers they were amazing.They did a great job and I want to wish good luck to them.

Tunkel remains a funny word, a Lefko means a funny hat, and a Waldman is another word for a decepticon.

As a proud host family, we have had the great opportunity to have two of the Braves stay at our house over the last couple of years. These players are great kids and we have enjoyed sharing the summer with them and their teammates. We will miss making late night dinners and constantly needing to run to the grocery store. We will miss the great friendships that these boys have given our family. We are looking forward to being exhausted again next summer. Anyone contemplating being a host family, it is a great experience! We and our two kids are going to miss LB. Go Braves!

Frank,

being the pitching coach for the Braves this summer I wanted to just say that your words were very encouraging and appreciated. I can tell you that from a coaching stand point I have never been around a bunch of arms with as much talent as these guys have that were as selfless.

Each guy we felt comfortable with on the mound and not one guy acted bigger than another. They all got their work in on and off the mound and were poised to bring the first championship to Bourne.

They were a special group, just like this was a special team. I want to thank all the players on the 2009 team for letting me experience a once in a lifetime baseball opportunity.
