The Great American Tradition ror many Americans, baseball was not just another sport. It was a tradition. From the youngest players of the Peanuts League to the fathers who cheered at their son ' s high- school games, a form of fever could be found. I have been playing base- ball since I was in first grade, said Clayton Melson. It is a great challenge . Many believe that the great- est challenge was the mental aspect of the sport. Both un- conscious reactions, such as quick drive for the ball, and conscious pro cedures, like remembering the rules, were involved. However, despite all the hardships, the teams started the season with a positive outlook. Most of the players, with the exception of the Frosh-Soph team, were re- turning experts . They were well-rounded, with strong pitching and hitting, and con- sidered the phrase number one in the league as their goal. Not surprisingly, their en- thusiasm even carried into their practices. The work-outs lasted from sixth period ath- letics until sunset. Who knows? There just might have been a young Babe Ruth hidden in our team. After all, didn ' t Tyler Hilbert say that he wanted to make a career out of it? imi- m Varsity: Top Row: Scott Nishitani, Dave Westman, Steve Campeau, Cabe Javage, Conrac Colby, Tony Mendoza, Lance Ely, Chris Becker, Mark Hartly Middle Row: Frank Herman, Mikf Lewis, Jason White, Kent French, Javier Gomez, Russel Wilson Front Row: Mario Garibotti Danny Dougherty, Andy Green 162 Sports
