Boys in the Field

Autor David Scott Slayton Editat de Jeanette Slayton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 sep 2016
"They started merely as boys. They developed into a team. And then, they became...Champions." This is the story of thirteen kids who dared to chase a dream, a dream they shared as ballplayers, and the men who guided them each step of the way. They came together - worked hard together, aspired together - and together, in the summer of 2015, they formed a team that captured the hearts and imaginations of people everywhere. Through sacrifice, struggle, and the building of relationships between fathers who had to harden their sons, and mothers who had to comfort them, this group of individuals became unified to one purpose. As a result, boys became friends, friends became teammates, and working together, they became champions. This story is about the championship journey from Red Land to Williamsport in 2015 for the Red Land Little League team.

Notă biografică

Scott Slayton has lived in the Red Land community for all of his adult life. After graduating from Virginia Tech, he became an instructor of English at Red Land High School in 1998 and has been there ever since. Whether referred to as Mr. Slayton, Coach Slayton, or Coach Scott, he has worked with Red Land kids of all ages, both in the classroom and on the fields of competition. From Varsity to Elementary, PIAA State Playoffs and a District Championship, to Summer Camps and Tee-Ball, Scott has committed himself to helping Red Land kids excel both academically and athletically. His fondness for the Red Land community is matched only by his love for baseball, specifically the New York Mets, the United States of America, and children. Scott so believes in the purity of childhood that he has been an active member of the St. Jude Children's Hospital running team, and has completed three marathons for St. Jude that have raised over $5000. Together, he and his wife of 15 years, Kelly, have built their own "team" that provides each of them with their greatest joys in life.
