What Does it Take to Make a Team?

I began to wonder, what does it take to make a team.  Sure it takes players, coaches, funding, marketing, and logistics.  But that doesn't describe for me what it takes to make a team.  What is right in front of my face?  I see a man, who served his community faithfully for nearly two decades in the local state parks, working hard after a full weeks work downtown, climbing the stands row after row selling raffle tickets for an autographed bat.  

I see a man using the opportunity to distribute stadium items to draw the fans into the action, and coaching them to become not passive spectators, but involved energetic fans.  The sun is not quite setting yet, its nearly 90 degrees, and he is pouring his heart into the fans, bringing them out of the shells, into a shared experience with each other.  I see the faces light up and the fire in peoples eyes as they become involved.  Dedication, involvement, commitment

To be a local team, one has to continually improve their craft and to work through personal difference with each other, to create an atomosphere for everyone to be able to participate and contibute.  

A great play consists of the player, the supporting players, and the opposing team member.  A ball cannot be caught if it isn't pitched or batted.  A game would soon come apart at the seams in the heat of competition without the boundries of the umpire setting constraints.  All of this sets the stage for what, I believe the whole thing may be about, for the moments to be able to ripple out through all each of those present in their own way and capacity.
