For Barney, coaching was about more than just sharing his knowledge and love for the game of baseball. His goals are best described in the words of his players:

·   Thanks for believing in our abilities and making us believe in ourselves

·   What made Barney such a good coach was the amount of time he spent with us

·   He believed in and helped to develop many lasting friendships with players of opposing teams

·   He should be remembered for the champions he made as much as the championships he won.

·   He always knew the right thing to say whether it be to cheer us up or to inspire us.

·   What made Barney a successful coach wasn’t all the titles he won but the enjoyment he brought to all those who played for him.

·   He didn’t just teach me how to play the game of baseball and to play it well, but he taught me respect, sportsmanship, the value of hard work and most of all, dedication.

·   I believe his love for baseball was fuelled by his desire to see young men succeed not only on the diamond but in their lives as well, and for this he will always have our respect.
