Michigan baseball's good deed
This isn't anything revolutionary, crucially important or even mildly fascinating, but I'd like to highlight a positive contribution from the M community to my community.
I hail (!) from the small town of Chelsea, about fifteen minutes west of A2. My residence here isn't particularly MGoRelevant, but somebody else's is: Chelsea also happens to be home to Michigan baseball coach Rich Maloney. I've had the pleasure of talking to him at a number of different sporting events in town, and I've always found him to be a great guy who makes an effort to be active in his community.
My positive impression of him grew a bit stronger today when I opened this week's edition of the local paper and saw a page of photos from area schools and preschools. March has been declared reading month in Chelsea, and among other things, that includes a variety of guests who visit local schools and read to the kids. As a part of that, Coach Maloney and several of the players spent time as guest readers at one of the elementary schools in Chelsea.
So as a resident of Chelsea, I'd like to thank Rich Maloney, Nick Urban, Mike Kittle, Chris Berset and Eric Katzman for taking the time to make a positive contribution to the community.
Very cool.
Things like this are good to hear. Thanks for the report.
We should give the positive contributions of Michigan Men the same attention we give the transgressions. Thanks for posting.
That diamond that you guys have courtesy of Jeff Daniels is insane.
More than a few people have called it a small college-quality high school facility. The softball stadium is equally nice, too. The baseball and softball athletes here get spoiled. The kids and parents both put a lot of work into maintaining it, though, so I guess they're not too spoiled.
What brought you out to the Chelsea baseball facility?
Freshman year
I'm a little light on photos of the facilities themselves, but I do have a few.

the baseball diamond i tried to make in the backyard after a day courtesy of Jack Daniels didn't look half as good.
Ha! I know Mike Kittle. I didn't think he could read.
going out of their way to make a difference. Thanks for this info Sgt., well done Michigan Baseball.
