As many of you know, a major part of our lives is spent driving to, coaching, and cheering our kids in athletics. My particular passion is baseball. The Visnic Team has been involved with our area high schools and youth leagues for years. We’ve found giving back is a truly gratifying experience.
In the Spring of 2008, we renovated the baseball field at Glenelg High School in Howard County. We, also, built long awaited dugouts. When a safety issue was brought to my attention at Bullis High School, regarding the orientation of the field, our team came in and turned the field around so the sun would not blind the hitters.
Coaching in the Baltimore Metro Baseball League has also been an incredible experience. In fact, some rising stars that we have sponsored and coached have come out of our youth teams:_Mike Thomas, now at Rider U. is about to break their strike out record._Kevin Jacob was drafted by the Yankees, but is staying to finish his senior year at Georgia Tech._Jeff Guthridge is playing for Hofstra._CT Stanley is a clean up hitter at York University._Alex Frederick, now at Armstrong Atlantic has been a weekly selection as the MVP of the Sun Belt League._Steve Visnic (my son and one of the greatest structures I’ve ever built) holds the appearance record for a single season as a pitcher at Temple University in Philadelphia.
Baseball has been important in the development of these fine young men, and giving back has had quite an impact on our Visnic Team. And boy, did that whole experience race by!
Enjoy
