Son went 0-2 with a K; couldn't be prouder!!!

As a middle round draft choice last year, mine is clinging/clawing by his finger nails to stay with his organization even at the lowest levels. Yesterday started with news he found terribly disappointing. Later that morning he was told he was being called up to play with the AAA team. Climbed the bus for the ride to the Yankee's minor league facility only to find out they were facing Randy Johnson in his last Spring training assignment. Ends up starting at SS. After fighting off 2 fastballs and just missing a third that he caught up with and fouled straight back, he knows what is coming and strikes out on the slider, (he says is much more wicked in real life than TV), lines out, and ends up on ESPN highlights last night. What a ride this life in basebll can provide.

'You don't have to be a great player to play in the major leagues, you've got to be a good one every day.'
