Popcorn flew all over as the crowd roared with excitement and the Don's marked up another win in the league. So went typical plays during Aragon's baseball season, which lead them to success.

With great enthusiasm and great strength the Dons were ready to get dirty or get hit by a few balls in order to win the game. And win games they did, as the Dons quickly redeemed from their beginning losses, and struck back into a pattern of invincibility. Noth- ing seemed to stop these boys, as it became clear that their eyes were out for the number one spot in the P.A.L. However, every great team re- flects hard work, and here, too, the Dons endured. Practices were long and required various exer- cises to sharpen base and bat tech- niques. Often enough, also, were practices held on dusty fields, and in glaring heat. To help, the team- mates created many sayings that they shouted, unifying the players and motivating everyone to consis- tently try their best. Having the best team spirit and intensity in the league, with great skills to match, the Aragon Dons left the crowds standing at all times and leaving them infatuated with all-American baseball . . , Aragon style.
