Compliment from Cal Ripken Jr.

It doesn't get much better than having Cal Ripken Jr. compliment you and one of your players. Cal was recently doing a coaches clinic in the Chicago area. He was working with one of my students Michael Claendening, a 12 yr. old travel player from Naperville. Cal did drills with Michael and raved about his swing and asked his travel coach, "Where did you find this kid?" As I grew up as a shortstop and watching Cal, I think I got more excited than Michael did!
