Youth sports play a pivotal role in young kids lives. The friendships and mentoring they receive last a lifetime. But there is something even more special when you are part of a championship team, one that defied the odds to win when other teams seemed destined to.
As a young 13-year-old baseball player, Dr Mitch found himself on a youth baseball team that would do just that. Known as the Ragtag 10, because they only had 10 players and no uniforms, they would defy the odds and beat some of Missouri’s best youth baseball teams.
But this story isn’t just about 10 ragtag 13 year olds, its about the life lessons their coach, Parris Watts would give them that truly makes this story special. That’s because, as a coach, Parris had never played a single inning of organized baseball. But he knew the game and more importantly, he knew how to bring out the best in a group of mis-fit kids to make them believe they could be champions.
