RIP Larry Vigil CYPRESS GSL

[OCD]

If you have ever known a person who coached little girls, then older girls with years and years of dedication, then Larry was our version of that person. Always fixing up the fields early in the morning after rainy nights just to get another set of games in for his girls. Always had new gadgets and techniques for his players. Could bunt you to death just for a run. I seen some miraculous come back games orchestrated by his never say never attitude. He will be missed. I am happy to say that i stood by him and helped him when i could. After years of coaching, i asked him as a rookie coach on opening day, " Do you think we could put Stacey at first base, shes tall and seems like she can handle it. " He said go for it... we lost that game and my first base idea was a disaster. I told him sorry for my great idea, he said ' So what, we still have 15 more" RIP COACH.

For anyone who had daughters that played in the the LA/OC rec leagues in the late 90's, early 00's, this was the guy in the Cypress league with the long gray/blonde ponytail.
Always at the fields either coaching or working on the fields.
Pretty sure he also was an assistant coach at Oxford Academy HS in the mid 00's.
His family is in my prayers.

Larry was the best coach ever. He will be greatly missed and always remembered as the guy with the positive energy (from all the Twinkies and Pepsis) that always ended a game (win or loose) by asking the girls..."So, what did you learn today on the field and what could you have done better".
