During a "junior day" visit to Winston-Salem on Saturday, Midlo Son made a handshake commitment to Wake Forest, to enter school in the fall of 2008 and hopefully hit the field in the spring of 2009.
It was only about a year ago that someone showed me this site and I started reading and often putting in my two cents. As great a time waster as putting in my two cents has turned out to be, I do enjoy the dialogues. But more, I feel that my son and I have really profited from the tremendous wealth of information available here and the willingness of so many of you to share with us the benefit of your experiences. Some of that has happened out in the open, much of it in PM's that I will not recap here because those PM's were, well, private.
I won't bore you with the reasons why we chose this particular school. Everyone has to have their own reasons why one school appeals to them more than others. Mostly I just wanted to thank all of you who have been so very helpful. Special thanks to PGStaff, Tiger Paw Mom, and SDBB, and each of them know why.
I hope to continue meeting more HSBBWebbers at various events, maybe at college games some day, and who knows, maybe even at Fenway Park -- site of the 2009 ACC Tournament! You can bet I'll be there, wearing lots of black & gold! (Just look for the guy keeping a scorebook, chewing his nails and pacing like a madman.)
And hey, SDBB, remind your boy about Fenway! Maybe that'll get him to stay that long!
