This has been an unbelievable journey. The friends I've made, the things we experienced, the comradery, the support we've given each other are things I'll never forget. I have seven new brothers for life.
A huge thanks to the staff hosting this tournament. Robin Murray, the UIC, Steve Christman our umpire evaluator, Brooks Bishop DA for AZ D8, Jorge Maldonado ADA/TD, Jorge Maldonado Jr transportation director, John Doyle the Mayor, Marcel Bachelier from Parks and Rec for providing such a wonderful work environment, Jesus "Bibby" Bolivar who's office we took over as our locker room for the week, Dave Bonham Western Region Director, the paramedics who tended to our fallen brother, Police Chief Derek Arnson for keeping the peace, the breakfast staff at the Holiday Inn Express, the Candlewood Hotel staff, and Umpire Del Fonder for shuttling us around all week.
Summer of a lifetime.
