"I won't be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat" (Babe Ruth).

Lessons in life are many times learned on a ball field.

"My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging" (Hank Aaron).

"Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there"
(Bo Jackson).

Keep swinging and don't stop 'til you reach your goals....all good lessons obviously learned by the 2005 Desoto Cardinals 8U Team as they head to the World Series as Mississippi State Champions. The Cards won the State Championship with a 11-2 victory over the Mississippi Mustangs. Previous 2005 tournament wins include the Memorial Day Bash, Mayor's Cup Championship, SOSA Big Barrel Classic, Trugreen Fields Challenge Cup, Southaven Shootout, April Fools Classic, Mudcats Easter Classic and the Mudcats Early Bird Classic. The Cards (53-6) continue to march toward their goal of winning the USSSA 8U World Series held July 11-16 in Sulphur, Louisiana. Cornerstone Systems, a "Double Play" sponsor, proudly supports the 8U team (8 years and under) and Coach Chris Haberstroh (M&M Productions). The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the umpire shouting "Play Ball", a favorite leather glove....classic memories born in the youth of little league baseball. Dedication, commitment, teamwork and sportsmanship....classic lessons learned by the youth of little league baseball.
