If players, parents, coaches and potential coaches would take the same type of positive attitude towards the learning process as Brent has done them and their athletes would benefit tremendously. I sincerely thank Brent for feeling that my knowledge is good enough to write various baseball articles covering different aspects of the game. on his web. site. Don Ervin.
