The Ode of all Ode's

Well it is time to do an ode to Master Blogger!  Manager Val is always the one behind the camera making sure to promote Team Toba and the Sport of Softball in anyway she can...so it can be difficult to get a hold of some pictures of her...but never fear...I have done my digging and found a few dandies for your enjoyment.

Thank you Manager Val for all you do for this program!  As you can see from these pictures, she is always willing to throw on her level IV blue uni to umpire for us, or play for us when we are short players, or show everyone how to throw down an expert photo bomb...really she does an absolute ton of work behind the scenes to make sure this program runs as smoothly as possible - some of that work is gratifying I'm sure, but a lot of it is probably quite menial and yet she does it anyways (most of the time without complaint or her trade mark scowl...haha!). We love her for it!

Teaching her Blue Crew how to lighten up a little!

Cleating up to show the youngins how its done.  Vintage 2001 Toba Jersey and all!!

 

 

She was a recipient of the HAT!  Two cycles in a row!

 

scheming with coach niki... 

 

A close up of an epic 2013 photo bomb...looks like the fedora's are the real photo bombers though.

 

 like I said...always willing to do the most menial of tasks...

I found her trademark scowl!!! classic.

 

Oh and in case you are talking to her today, be sure to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

I won't go so far as to tell you how old she is...as I'm likely already in enough trouble over this post!
