 Pain Management
The University of Incarnate Word Coach, Dan Heep, gave a powerful presenation to the League at the Managers' meeting. Speaking "unscripted", he
offered background and history as to the SAMSBL / UIW relationship and why it is so strong. He covered several areas of importance including our
caring and maintaining of his field after games, our respect of his excellent facility knowing it is a privilege to use it, and the fact that he
has never witnessed any derogatory actions or incidents on our part; not one in 15 years. He spoke from the heart as to how the SAMSBL has been
instrumental to him in building his baseball program to the point that his team is in the top 10 in D-II in the nation. We have earned his praise
and kind words, but we must always strive to live up to our tremendous potential as a League. He spoke of our many accomplishments on the national
scene over the years. It was simply envigorating to know a man of his stature watched us, pulled for us, and was proud of us. Many thanks to Coach
Heep for taking the time to visit with us.
March Schedule is updated as of March 5,2010
The Schedules for March, April, and May are published. Expect changes due to weather (it should be a wet spring) and some field changes for
numerous reasons. Each player look for team double-headers. Each Manager call in the scores on the rainout number which is 210-302-8228.
All Managers were told that their team package (a folder with all the required paperwork) needed to be 100% satisfied so they could play their
first game. Those teams whose folders are not complete will not play any games until all requirements are filled. Each Manager will know the
status of his team well in advance to fix the problem. Players are asked to cooperate as required when your manager makes the request. A game
missed is a game forfeited. Pull the rules and read about forfieting games in this league.
