From Senior Year
by Dan
Shaugnessy "I have always
found people who volunteer to coach kids to be among the best of
our society. Sure, there's the occasional blow-hard who's just
there to advance the greatness of his own child, but for the
most part these
men and women are selfless and sincere. They donate time
in an age when minutes and hours are precious and few. These
coaches drive around with the bats, balls and
batting helmets
rattling in their trunks. They leave work early and stay late to
work with our kids. They make fifteen phone calls anytime it
rains. They endure obnoxious players and parents. And they do it
for a doughnut. It is an avocation that seems to attract a lot
of cops and firefighters. Teachers, too, of course. These
volunteer coaches can make a lasting impression on our
sons and daughters. Forty years removed from the
Groton town field,
I still remember a lean man with a withered right arm who
managed to hit one-armed fungoes while smoking a cigarette and
expanding our vocabularies. All at the same time."
