.So Boy was in the lunch room early with some guys today, left his drink at his place and went to get a tray. When he comes back, a guy in sand-blasted pants (as worn at the Major League camp) is sitting in his chair. Guy says "my bad"; Aeden says "No, man, you're wearing sand-blasted pants, you can sit wherever you want!" "How many Spring Trainings you been to?" "This is my first." "Good. You learn fast. At my third, I said something to Trevor Hoffman when he cut me in the lunch line; he looks down at me and says 'you blanking say something to me, meat?' That's when I learned."
He's been catching some bullpens for the ML guys who have been very forthcoming with how to call a game, based on the pitcher's strengths merging with the hitters' propensities. Magic.
And.....anybody else heard about locker room football???
I sent him a Care Package the other day, including a twenty and told him to take Dirk out for a couple of beers from his fans at the hsbbweb. Dirk loved it!
