Cooperstown..The Chills!..Thrills!..and SKILLS!

Hello Sports Fans!
SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE FATHERS IN THE HOUSE!
WHOOP! WHOOP!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Well it's a little over 36 hours since my arrival to Cooperstown and I must say that the experience thus far has been nothing short of a whirlwind adventure; to say the least. I originally began this blog at 11pm; however, some technical difficulties arose--which brings us to the morning after Cooperstown Bullets: Day 1. So just sit back, relax..and enjoy the ride as I attempt to bring you DAY 1 of Cooperstown.
One caveat: This update will be given in segments..Think of it as a mini-series. Lots of information to cover. And on that note..let us begin our ride, shall we?!
Note: Please keep your hands in at all times as this ride will twist and turn in all different directions without warning.
..The "CHILLS" PART I

Chill #1
Message to the boys on the big screen while at the Yankees game
It reads:
Ten U Norcal Bullets,
Good Luck in Cooperstown!!!
Coach Ryan

(There are still some photos and stories to share about the boys' 36 hour NY trip..TO BE CONTINUED.

CHILL #2

Cooperstown Dreams Park

Up Close and Personal

(Seeing the signs all over the park and realizing that you are really seeing it live and in person- pretty neat stuff)

Chill #3

..Next on our tour..the "THRILLS" PART I

The moment you've all been waiting for..

A LOOK AT THE BARRACKS

(Insert dramatic/suspense music here)

FROM THE OUTSIDE

(Coach Ryan, B-lish #6, and TY#22)

FROM THE INSIDE..

Brace yourselves..there's no telling what we might spot.

Stan trying to catch up on some zzz's after all of the sleep over festivities on Night 1

Where all the magic happens..

The Head Coach's Office where all of the big decisions are made

(Like looking behind the curtain and seeing Oz, isn't it?)

BUT WAIT! THAT'S NOT ALL!

Now Introducing..

The Cooperstown Unis

(Above: Mason's Smith's)
And here is where we will have to stop for now.

Heading off to a 1:30 game..OUR FIRST GAME!

PIN TRADING! More than trading..it's an experience all its own.

Bostonians make it to Cape Cod

...In today's morning addition of the Bullets Bugle
Our very own Boston Bullets made it to Cape Cod and JFK Memorial, yesterday.

Point your peepers below

Of course, baseball is never far from the mind...
Despite all of the fun and excitement of the new surroundings, the boys engage in some BP
on the Cape. ..

Join us next time...when all 12 boys make like the old 70's band Peaches and Herb and become

REUNITED

...Next stop...Cooperstown Dreams Park..

...LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

"Empire State of Mind"

In Yesterday's Bullet News..
Hanging out in New York, seeing the sights and livin' large...

In New York,


(Mason, Jonathan, Andrew - you know where they are).



Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.




(Stu and Gigs on airplane--heading to NY)



There's nothing you can't do,




(Stu and Nate- on the way to Statue of Liberty)



Now you're in New York,


(I spy with my little eye.. some NEW FLAT BILLS)



These streets will make you feel brand new,




(Andrew and Mason - Hanging out on the streets of New York)

The lights will inspire you,

Andrew - Strikin a pose in front of NYPD

Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York



(Stu at this evening's Yankees Game)

In New York,



One hand in the air for the big city,



Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty,



No place in the world that can compare,



Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah

Y-E-A-H!

..They're BAA-ACK!... Enter The Bostonians

We now interrupt your regularly scheduled New York updates to pan over to our high in the sky, camera 2-- where we are receiving live feed (well, as live as it can be thanks to Coach Mike and his handy dandy iPhone photos) from our very own Bullets of Boston...




In today's news the Marchants and Schannings made their way to...(drum roll, please)..FENWAY PARK! (insert stadium/crowd roar here).

Pictured Below

(Left - Right)

Dillon "PICKLE" Schanning, Joe "BIG JOE" Marchant, and Griffin Schanning



..And now..a moment of silence while we take it all in ..okay that's enough silence
Moving right along..

Another shot..Dill and Joe





Can't visit R'lyeh's old stompin' grounds without a Schanning Family Photo with Fenway in the background. Does it get any better than this for a true Bostonian? I'm guessing not.
The Schanning Family

"Baseball and Boston with the Schannings"


..And of course, the moment they've all been waiting for..
GAME TIME!

It's the Von-Trapp Family (Sound of Music)!

No--wait! It's the Marchants and Schanning families

(Left - Right)

Griffin, Jacob, Jack, Joe, Maggie, Emma and Dillon


And no day in Boston would be complete without...

NEW RED SOX CAPS!

That's it for now..reporting live from Boston..
..Now back to our Bullet Boys in New York...
Tune in next time..
For the newest reality series entitled,
"Livin' like Bostonians with the Marchants and Schannings"

















Look Up In The Sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!..It's the BULLETS!

If you listen closely you can almost hear the sounds of the airplanes taking off from SFO Airport. One flight in particular-- VIRGIN AMERICA FLIGHT VX22 From San Francisco non-stop to New York. Yes, indeedy the day finally arrived for the remaining 8 Bullets boys to make their way to
"Start spreading the news...I wanna be a part of it (you know the diddy) "








New York, New York.

7 of the boys boarded the Bullets Bus at precisely 5am this morning enroute to San Francisco Airport. SFO was to be the first big stop along their journey to the Big Apple. They are scheduled to arrive in New York this evening at approximately 5:50pm. One can only imagine what the boys are up to right now in one airplane all together. The 8th Bullet, Jonathan "Angel Baby" Kelly will be making his way to NY a few hours behind the rest of his Bullets Bros on a different flight.
Pictured Below:

Just Chillaxin' in Chicago Airport; waiting to get to final destination..NY

Safe Travels, Martin and JK!

As I type this update I cannot help but think how fortunate these 12 boys are. Our boys not only get to live out one of their greatest passions in life (BASEBALL), but they get to experience this passion of theirs in none-other than, the one, the only, COOPERSTOWN BASEBALL DREAMS PARK! And with the way these boys eat, sleep and breathe baseball, going to Cooperstown is more than a week of playing baseball tournaments; it's likely to be an experience that they will remember



F -O- R- E- V -E -R.

Here's to all 12 of our boys and their dads (and some moms and siblings) who are chaperoning them.
"It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

I hope you have the time of your life."

The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round..on the Bullets Bus
TY (back), Laser Maser (Middle), Drew Sanchez
May you all arrive safely and have the time of your lives.

What are the Hagopians, Marchants, and Schannings Up To Today?

It's T-Minus 16 hours and some odd minutes before take off to the Big Apple....
In other news...Shant and JoJo have taken ESPN by storm. Doesn't it look oddly normal and common-place to see JoJo behind the sports desk(DADADA - DADADA)?


Moving right along on our Hagopian tour...
It's Jojo and Jeter


In other news...we turn to the Bostonians--the Marchants and Schannings
