Had my first “real” conversation with my son last night — it as so nice to talk baseball. Ten days into the fall ball and I could hear in his voice how happy he is. Said his first two bullpens went great and will throw at least one inning this Thursday in the team’s first fall intersquad scrimmage. Fingers crossed. Academics aren’t going to be easy that’s for sure as he is quickly learning just how many papers and how much writing he is going to be doing these next four years.
After we hung up — got a text from him saying that he has never been more happy than he is and that he found a perfect fit.
Hokie — Thanks for the tips and suggestions. I can already see how fast this all will go by. Thank goodness I am a consultant now, so that I can figure out ways to travel to Iowa catch a weekend series as often as I can.
Hope everyone else’s 2017s are settling into their first year successfully.
