For me, the New York trip has always been special. But this, year, I wanted it to be the best one ever. This is my last trip, just like all of my senior classmates. I was fortunate enough to go on this trip three times and to me it was and is always fun. I think as seniors, we bonded for many years and this is "it" for us.
We came with twenty players and I think everyone came together like a team ... all of the newcomers came in and fit in so well. I thought the freshmen were included in all that we did. I feel sometimes new players are not accepted by the older players and sometimes the new players do not accept the older players - this was not true of our team.
Enough though, for the second time, the rain prevented us from visiting the Bronx Zoo, which we all wanted to do, the Museum was cool. The ESPN Zone again was sweet. It is a trip to remember and this being my last trip, I will remember and miss this in the future. Now, we need to do what we do ... Dan the bus driver ... I like how easy it was to be part of a team, have fun with my teammates and be accepted into the group ... Having an opportunity to play on a field (as our field still has snow) and going to Yankee Stadium ... I will remember that when we returned to the hotel after the game, two seniors knocked on our door, came into our room and just hung out and talked and talked about stuff and had fun ...
Traveling to New York, leaving New Hampshire and being with my team ... I learned alot about my teammates and I liked the interaction. Our team chemistry is great this year ... Watching the Yankees and the Rays playing in the famous Yankee Stadium and our team having an opportunity to play and practice ... the first time on the field this year and the experiences of playing a game, being with my new and old teammates and practicing before returning home ... Movies ... movies ... movies ... Each night, in the hotel rooms, spending time, late into the night, getting to know all of the guys ... our team has great chemistry ... My favorite part of the trip was going to the game. It was my first professional game. Also, New York City was so interesting as it was also my first time there. A great trip! My favorite memory was walking around Yankee Stadium, cheering for the BoSox. Just being outside, playing baseball made the whole trip such a worthwhile experience ... The first night we did a fun activity where we were connected together. Untying myself from a teammate that first night was fun. Watching my first in person major league game was fun ... Our new pregame black shirts ... Bonding with teams throughout the trip, from playing a game, to sitting and talking in the hotel, to attending a Yankees game, hearing about supporting each other and then actually supporting one another and playing in "warm" weather ... my favorite part was when we first hit the field, in our Souhegan uniforms on Thursday afternoon, attending a game at Yankee Stadium and having a fun time being with my new teammates ...
thank you to Coach Dod, Sandy Dod and Coach Beliveau for putting together another excellent trip. I really loved being able to get away from New Hampshire with my teammates and bonding with each of them. I really enjoyed spending Friday in the awesome New York City and attending a Yankees game was awesome. Playing, practicing and being together was a great way to get outside, prepare for the season and spend time with my teammates. I am looking forward to a tremendous spring.
