Koa 14U Takoma Travel Baseball (Spring 2011)
Please email Tony Korson for information about this program.
** At some point over the season, keep an eye out for an appearance at your team practice by Buddy Biancalana. Buddy played for the Kansas City Royals, and the Astros. He started at shortstop for the 1985 Royals team who won the World Series. Buddy will talk to the players about their skills, with special attention on how to help focus the mind while batting. Of course, Buddy is happy to sign autographs also!
