Coach Corky Palmer suffered a stroke last week. Please pray for him.
Words cannot describe what this man has done for me, my career and my life.
He is brutality honest, tough and as hard as they come. But he is as kind, helpful and as caring as they come.
Pray for Coach Palmer!
If you can’t take care of business in the classroom; how can I trust you to take care of business on the field when the game is on the line? How you do anything is how you do everything.
In all of my years of attending the
@ABCA1945
the main theme of the clinic talks have gone from developing swings, pitching mechanics, etc to developing young men to be great citizens, husbands and fathers. We all want to win and winning is great, but....

You will forget the Wins and Losses, You will forget the tough practices & early morning weights, but you will never forget your teammates. There is nothing better than being a part of a Team.
Congratulations

. This guy has put in his time and done a great job as an assistant. He is loyal, a good friend, husband and father. All of that will still not stop us from attempting to beat the brakes off of them. Congratulations buddy. Well deserved.
RIP “OB”. I tied his shoes every time I saw him for three years while coaching at Southern Miss. Found out this weekend that he’s always known how to tie his shoes. Well Played OB, well Played.

Eags sitting in the dugout dodging the rain. Getting hosed by host Tennessee having to wait out the rain. Eating Jersey Mikes that they definitely paid for and did not get free. Confirmed because I was there when it was picked up.

So much more to it than writing a line up & deciding what pitchers go in and come out of the game. It looks easy from the outside; doesn’t it? Try loving unconditionally,managing emotions,encouraging,disciplining,recruiting,laundry, meals, field work,academic accountability……..
This awesome group of

soph have made the last 2 yrs a blast. A lot of injuries, a lot of tough games & practices, a lot of laughs. A lot of scholarships to 4 yr schools earned through baseball & academics. A lot of Outstanding men with a bright future.

This rain!! I’ve been coaching college baseball for 18.5 years now. Never have I been involved in so many cancellations and schedule changes. Very frustrating!! But, control what you can control.....I guess.
I’m just going to say this. I’ve never said that Southern Miss or Tenn will win this series. But I just don’t think Tenn fans know what to expect with the crowds and atmosphere in Hattiesburg. It’s going to be fun
It’s frustrating when you don’t win as much as you want. As a JUCO coach, sometimes I have to remind myself that we’re trying to develop & prepare our players for the NEXT 2 yrs & beyond. Then you get a text from former players with this pic.

Had a great time at the
@ABCA1945
convention. Heard some great information from the speakers. It’s always great to run into old friends and meet some new ones. Even a brief handshake or hug reminds me of how special our baseball coaching family is.
👇🏼Everything that is good about baseball and sports. The will to compete in the midst of adversity. Doing exactly what his Dad would want him to be doing. No doubt that Coach Conard would be proud. Heartbroken for this family, but what a tribute.
One of the coolest scenes I’ve ever witnessed. Gehrig Conrad lost his father a couple of days ago, tonight in the 3rd round of the state playoffs he absolutely dealt! With two strikes his teammates gave him a hug and then he unleashed a 91 mph fastball.

I’m a baseball coach, but I love college basketball. I’m telling you, somebody better offer

like yesterday! Your gonna wish you did when he drops 20 and dishes out 10 against your team. Am I right

once told me, “surround yourself with people that are smarter than you”. As a head coach, you always want to have assistant coaches that you can trust and lean on.
@JackEdmonson04
is a good one!!
It’s gone too far when HS/JR High players feel like they have to put uncommitted before their graduation date and positions , when their grad date is more than 2 years away.
A career that spans nearly 50 years, Hill Denson coaches his final two ball games today.
After 19 years with Belhaven and 14 unforgettable seasons with

The only thing better than being on a team is being on a team full of great teammates. I have no idea what my HS/college batting avg was( not good), but I remember my teammates.
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit”- Harry S. Truman
I’m going to thoroughly explain:
A. 99.9 percent of college baseball teams don’t have a visitors locker room. So when it rains or lightning. They stay in the dugout, bus or wherever they choose. If the weather is really bad, they go to the hotel or an alternate sight on campus.

@DensonHill
said he wanted to start asking people to pay for admission to games. He was told; “we won’t make enough money to pay the person working the gate”
True Story.
Glad to have our guys on campus. I’ll admit; it was the weirdest first meeting ever.
So many unknowns, things to navigate & hoops to go through.
But I do know that they are here and we are going to give it our best shot to keep them here, going to class & playing ball.
With much thought and consideration have decided to withdraw my name from the
@MLB
draft. I have decided to continue my coaching career at

Power 5 is a football term that everyone tries to use in other sports.
Specifically, in baseball, there are no power 5 or group of 5 teams. Anyone can beat anyone on any day of the week.

Maurice loved our players like family. I saw him cry at the end of each season. He was quick to tell the coaches to stop being so hard on the guys,”they were trying their hardest”. He was also quick to blame the umpires when we lost. He wasn’t our bus driver, he was a teammate
The Belhaven Baseball world just lost a great friend about 45 mins ago. Our bus driver and no. one fan for many years, Maurice Robinson, passed away after a rough battle with cancer. Due to the virus there won’t b a funeral service for the public. May b a memorial service later
One week before baseball season starts. Every season ticket holder should get an opportunity for 1 AB against their respective teams’ pitchers. If they get a hit they can complain all they want during the season. No, wait. If they even make contact. If not, eat nachos and clap

BREAKING: ESPN reports three major changes to Southern Miss football’s staff.
Defensive coordinator Dan O’Brien, defensive line coach Brandon Lacy, and tight ends coach Cayden Cochran all have been fired.
First reported here:
So weird and sad watching the Bobby Knight
#30For30
. Neil Reed was a good player and a great friend. He gave me a pair of Hoosier, red striped socks because he didn’t want them. I heard a lot of these Bobby Knight stories, from Neil, at our house in Hattiesburg. So sad.

Almost every MLB team has a prospect academy in the Dominican. These guys are housed, fees, trained and learn English. For most it is their only chance to get out of poverty. I’m sure they are very happy to see one of their own do well.
