Why Parents Are The Worst Judges Of Athletic Talent – Coach Wayne Mazzoni Advises On The Subject Of Recruiting

The Baseball Storyteller

Throughout my day, I receive tons of great emails from parents, leagues, players, former players, schools, and organizations on a wide range of baseball subjects. I love reading about what’s happening in the baseball industry top to bottom, in the professional leagues, amateur leagues, local Rhode Island and New England based organizations, and college recruiting. This morning, I received an email from former Sacred Heart University Baseball Coach Wayne Mazzoni (random, I’m not affiliated with him, probably on his newsletter email list) with the attention grabbing title, “Why Parents Are The Worst Judges Of Athletic Talent.” Pretty good hook, if … Continue reading Why Parents Are The Worst Judges Of Athletic Talent – Coach Wayne Mazzoni Advises On The Subject Of Recruiting

The Best Rhode Island High School Baseball Team Since 1972 Project Down to Five Teams

The Baseball Storyteller

Saturdays in September mean cooler temperatures, college football games on TV, fall colors in the trees in my yard, and taking those last few dips in the pool or at the beach. And for me personally, Saturdays in September also mean updating my bracket to determine who the Rhode Island Baseball Community thinks is the Best Rhode Island High School Baseball Team since 1972. This week, we had 10 “matchups” featuring RIHS baseball teams from as far back as 1982 and as recent as 2021. Fans were asked to select a “winner” between two teams and place their vote via … Continue reading The Best Rhode Island High School Baseball Team Since 1972 Project Down to Five Teams

The Baseball Storyteller

Before I reveal the results of the “matchups” featured in my online project – The Best Rhode Island High School Team Since 1972 – I wanted thank the voters who contributed to this project over the past several weeks. I have received some incredibly detailed emails and analysis of teams vs players, eras vs era, and why one team should be considered the #1 team of all time, not just since 1972.

The Baseball Storyteller

Before I go into the stats and All-Division teams and win/loss records of these incredible 20 Rhode Island High School Baseball teams, I have to say this project has far exceeded my expectations.

Good Tuesday morning to everyone in the Rhode Island Baseball Community. I hope everyone had a pleasant and safe Labor Day Weekend. The rain, which was seemingly stored somewhere in Mother Nature’s pantry since June, was released all at once yesterday around 11am. Most of Rhode Island collegiate students as well as elementary, middle, and high school students are or have been returning to schools. In fact, a North Kingstown School Bus is pulling up to my street as I write this to pickup first year NKHS students. I have an NKHS student that drives to school and is entering … Continue reading Grab Your Glove And Let’s Catch Up On Some Rhode Island Baseball News
