Hopefully the spectators have picked up on how well the coaches support the other teams. For example, when a player hits a homerun. The opposing team coach has always congratulated that player when he makes it to homeplate. You might find a coach tying a shoelace on the other team or congratulating the other team's players on great plays or even helping out a catcher! Hats off to the West Raleigh coaches! Not only are they supporting their own players, but also the other players in the league. That's just awesome!
