The San Quentin A’s worked their way through an exceptional 2012 baseball season, according to Coach John “Yahya” Parratt and pitcher Nghiep Ke Lam.
“The season went excellent and my expectations were reached when I saw the happiness in my players’ faces,” said Parratt.
Ke Lam gives appreciation to everyone who contributed to the A’s successful season. “I felt our season went miraculously with the support of the administration, the Oakland A’s organization, a few dedicated coaches from the outside community and the wonderful teams making the trip to play us,” said Ke Lam. “Despite some setbacks, my team made this season very memorable. We went beyond expectations.”
Parratt’s management skills helped the A’s to their second winning season. “My approach to the season was to go in and put the best nine on the field,” said Parrett. “I wanted to make sure we had each player in the right position and have a good bench and pitching staff to carry us through.”
Ke Lam expressed some areas of improvement they can address before next season. He commented, “There are minor improvements we could work on, like base-running and understanding the signs.”
“San Quentin A’s is a team, and team stands for Together Everyone Achieves More,” Parratt concluded.
The A’s finished their season 8-0.
