    Congratulations on a successful season!
    Coach Blackmon,
    Congrats on a wonderfully successful career, it may not have ended like you dreamed, but there is no reason to be anything but proud. The players you developed on the field pale in comparison to the MEN you created off it. That’s because the skills you honed on the field are nothing compared to character you instilled away from it. Thank you for all you’ve done for Tate, not just the baseball program but the school as a whole. Hopefully your replacement willl be someone who understands the program inside and out and bleeds Tate like you do.
