A longtime baseball coach at Hart High School was honored at Dodger Stadium -- the same weekend as the Tyler Glasnow bobblehead night.
It was a beautiful June evening in Los Angeles and I was standing on the storied field at Dodger Stadium, surrounded by dozens of Hart High School baseball players, wearing shirts that read "Who are we? Hart Baseball." But the message was more than a tag line. It was a mantra. The shirts were given to the team by their iconic head coach, Jim Ozella. It was Ozella’s way of reinforcing to his team that they are part of a proud, treasured legacy.
When I was a student and cheerleader at Hart High in Santa Clarita, I could never have imagined this moment, celebrating the achievements of my alma mater at the hallowed ground of Dodger Stadium. But that’s the beauty of life … you never know what the next chapter holds. Over the last several years, I have visited Hart High often as a journalist. I’ve spoken to Coach Ozella many times. There was a good reason for it. Ozella has enjoyed a stunning run during his 25 years at Hart.
Coach Ozella retired just days ago, capping off a brilliant career, with the CIF championship. And, on this night, Coach Ozella and his team of champions were introduced before the Dodger game to enthusiastic applause.Thanks for your hard work, Jim Ozella. This hometown girl is mighty proud of Hart High baseball.
