A great group of student athletes showed up to play for the California Warriors Winter Baseball Program this past Saturday. Our players came from 15 different high schools from around the Bay Area. The first week was a time to meet one another and begin to form a team. Everyone brought with them a love of the game and desire to play hard and to learn more about their positions. It is an eclectic group of ages and skill levels. Coach Burke did an excellent job of managing new players and evaluating their strengths. In two hours he was able to rotate all players into the game so everyone had a chance to play. Sergio Mendoza was in the dugout sharing his baseball wisdom and positive personality as he was an invaluable volunteer this past summer.
