GOOD LUCK IN REGIONALS THIS WEEK!

This site is awesome, well done, thanks for all!

Knowing what it takes to keep a site like this up and going, I really feel like I have not expressed my appreciation. This site has been functional for over five years, and looks great. But it functions even better than it looks. The resource it provides us should not ever be taken for granted. Once again this year Bob, GREAT JOB

Excellent work with the kids! Wished I could have participated this season? I like what you've done with my son! He's really coming into his own as a player and as a citizen! He's more outgoing than last year. Thanks Again!

GO WILDCATS!!!!!! hope we win all the tournaments we are in!!!!!!!WILDCATS ROCK!!!!!

Congratulations to the 2005 Mustang Padres for a tremendous season. These players gave 100% each and every game, practice, etc. You finished 2nd in the league, but 1st in the hearts of all the parents, fans, etc. Your sportsmanship alone makes you all #1!!
Also hats off to the coaches (Todd Lantz and Bob Roggenbach) for their countless hours of hard work, determination and positive pep talks to their team. You helped these players gain the confidence and ability to keep their chins up no matter what the score.
Way to go Padres!!!!

Good site!

I wanted the league to know that I find it extremely gratifying that our players and coaches conduct themselves with the utmost respect and sense of fair play when on the field. Our coaches have placed teaching sportsmanship on the same level as teaching our players the fundamentals of the game. It really shows when we play other leagues. Our reputation for being competive and being good sports says alot about all of the people who have continued to work so hard to keep CVAC going. My hat is off to all of you for caring and setting great examples for our players and our oppenents.
Keep up the great work!!

I just want to say Thank You to those board members and volunteers for stepping up this year to make CVAC a success. Without you we cannot succeed.
Thank You to the parents and players who helped to make this years fundraiser awesome. Congratulations to our winners.
Thank You Bob for continuing our web site. Great Job.

I just wanted to say how proud I was of the BRONCO REDSOX on Opening Day. I have a GREAT bunch of kids, and I am looking forward to a GREAT, and FUN Season...

Can't wait for another great season well go Pirates

I had the honor to play for Kenford Yee for 4yrs. He just wasn't a coach to all of us but a friend. Not only did he teach us about baseball, but he taught us about life. I remember one year we went to a motivational speaker and i didn't wanna go, but after the meeting i knew that it was for a good purpose in our lives now and for the future. The team and I had so many memories with kenford and if it wasn't for him we wouldn't had the chance to experience that. I'm greatful that i was on the team the last season that Kenford coached. He loved the game as much as we all did. All of these lessons that Kenford taught us will be with us forever, along with the great memories.
Coach,, I miss u everyday and i'm sure everyone else does too. Take care. GO WILDCATS

Just wanted to compliment our Colt team and all the teams within CVAC. It is wonderful to have such great sportmanship within our club. It becomes very obvious when playing other clubs who places sportmanship as a priority in coaching and who has not. I feel very proud to attend games and see how our teams handle difficult situations with other clubs. Our players do CVAC proud!! Congratulations to all!

Too bad the season is over. It was so much fun. I am looking forward to next year. CVAC is awsome.

Just wanted to let you all know that on May 13th, Jeff Ybarra pitched a 7 inning no hitter, he walked three while striking out 17. WOW! Way to go Jeff!!! I am the assistant coach for the team and missed the game because of another commitment. I also wanted to say something about Kenford Yee... I coached in the Colt division of P.O.N.Y. Baseball for Maple Valley for several years and Kenford Yee impressed me as a fine coach and a fine man, although I didn't know him outside the baselines, I could tell by the discipline and respect he commanded from his players that he was an excellent coach. Not only that but to be an excellent coach requires character. I always saw character in his players and in the way they played. I'm certain his legacy will live on thru the many young lives he touched!

Last night the Purple Smurfs played a great game, they played solid from the top to the bottom of the line-up. The pitching was great, the batting as well as the Iron wall defense. Purple Smurfs you made all the parents so proud of you last night, you all deserve a great big "go girl" !
Your hard work came to fruition last night and I am very proud to be a small part of your successes.

Marlies Dad, Terry

I would like to compliment Fritz Timm for his donation of time umpiring the games. We had him as an umpire at our game last night and he did an excellent job!!!! THANKS FRITZ from the Braves!

Goooooooooooooooooooo Orioles !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kenford Yee was an amazing human being, both on the field and off. I am honored to have called him my friend. He made us laugh, he inspired, he listened and he taught. His legacy will live on and on in his two wonderful children and all the young men whose lives he touched through baseball. You would have been proud of them today Kenford, not only are they baseball players, but they turned out to be nice young men.

My initial reaction when I heard the news was denial. Then the shock set in, and the sadness. Then I met with Kathy and saw her incredible strength. And as the acceptance came, I couldn't help thinking of what must have transpired -
For the last few years, God has been getting rather frustrated. His team, the Angels, always take the pennant, but lately they have been facing some tough competition through the series. Those devils were improving. So God called on his staff to help Him figure out a plan. A man's name was brought up and God asked what everybody thought. Jesus said, "He has a heart of gold, and pours it out on everyone". Moses added, "He's a great leader and teaches all his children well". St. Peter said, "He's awful young". God thought everything over and made his decision. He called upon the man and offered him a contract. But the man politely refused. He wanted more time to get seasoned as a coach, and to teach the kids. He wanted more time to share his love with family and friends. As the years went by, things continued getting tougher for the Angels and God again called on the man. And this time, God made an offer he couldn't refuse. So on February 15, 2004, though it broke his heart to leave the Wildcats, Kenford Yee made his way to Heaven's dugout. To manage in THE Bigs. He grabbed hold of the fence with both hands, smiled, and, staring out at the field where the Angels practiced, started making plans to take the pennant.

Kenford, you were an inspiration and a truly great man. I shall miss you dearly.

I played for Kenford for 2 years and I will be the first one to say he was the smartest man I have ever met on or off the field. He was like a father to me ever since my first day on the team. He touched so many people and I am sure he will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to his loving family and his current/former players. He will be dearly missed. Even though he would be the first to say "shut up and play ball already!" the game has lost a true competitor and a great man.

I have had the privilege to be around Kenford Yee for over half of my life. He wasn't just a coach to me and all of the guys, he was our friend and mentor. As he taught us to play this simple game of baseball, he instilled life lessons that we will all carry with us for the rest of our lives. "Life will always have obstacles. It is not how we avoid them; but how we overcome them, that we learn how to live" This is what Kenford wrote to me in a card in August of 2000. As we move on with our lives we will carry these values with us, and hopefully pass them off to our kids, and others around us. I'm sure that was Kenford's ultimate goal with all of us.

I worked at the airline with Coach Kenford Yee for many years. Baseball was a highlight of his life. My heart goes out to all of you as the season opens without him. I'm sure Kenford would be the first to say...GAME ON!

This is a great site. I like it a lot
