Americus Travelers - What Others Are Saying


Bob Lick - Duluth Coach
Former Major League Pitcher with the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers

"I am really impressed with this Americus Club with their ability, but even more so by the way they carry themselves. A lot of teams will get a lead like that and start talking trash and showing up their opponent. These kids have been taught well, not only about how to play, but how to win with dignity, and I appreciate that."

Director of Marketing, Gameday Baseball, Inc.

"This Americus team looks to be one you will hear about a lot over the next couple of years. We knew of their program from their years of success, but this is the first chance we've had to see them in person, and I'm impressed with the way they carry themselves and the way they play the game."

Chris Case
Assistant Baseball Coach, Darton College - Albany, Georgia

"I've been able to see the Travelers play this summer, and have seen a couple of their kids at the Top 100 Showcase in Columbus. They're being taught how to do things correctly, which is important to us."

Kris Edge
Head Coach/Baseball Director, Chain Baseball - Savannah, Georgia

"What a great team. That's been one of our most competitive games all summer. The pitcher- catcher battery today for the Travelers was as good as we have seen all summer. Their shortstop made some amazing plays, their first baseman hit a monster bomb - those guys can play. We've had some tough battles over the years with the Travelers. Today may have been the toughest yet. I respect their program an awful lot, and their coaching staff should be commended for that."

Scott Freeman
Coach, St. Clare Shores Mariners - Michigan

"We were shell-shocked. Those guys jumped on us early and kept the pressure on. They were aggressive on the bases and they got clutch hits. They are without question the best team we've seen this year."
