A Special Night

TxMom,

Thanks for sharing this story. I noticed in the 3rd article that your son was Kevin's roommate and sitting there with him when he got the callup - very exciting.

I also liked this excerpt from the first article (San Jose Mercury News). Kevin's parents sound very nice and humble:

"It was all a bit overwhelming for Frandsen's parents, David and Tracie.

'Never in your wildest dreams do you expect your son to be here,' David said. 'I thought it was neat when he made all-stars in Little League.'

A teary-eyed Tracie expressed similar feelings, saying that she thought it was remarkable when her son made the team at Bellarmine and later became a starter at San Jose State. 'When he got drafted, it was beyond all expectations,' she said.

But here her son was, his name up on the scoreboard in center field. 'I'm speechless,' Tracie said."

Congrats and best wishes to Kevin!

TXMom - What a terrific story! I agree MNMom - the humility he and family show makes his success all the sweeter! Best of luck for continued success to Kevin!

Good for him!

Great story, thanks for posting it.

I, too, was touched by the article in the CHRONICAL about the Little League All-stars.

I wish him continued success (and luck, too, for good measure).

Great stories--and great game. The camera shots during the game of the parents and friends going crazy with each hit were priceless.

That was cool!

I thought the interview with this young rookie after the game was interesting...just so he wouldn't take himself to seriously he was christened with a shaving cream pie in the face...a tradition of introduction to the "Bigs".

He took it good naturedly, and showed some real "class".

Congratulations to Kevin and his parents.

Thanks for the post!

A great story - and it sounds like a great kid... Thanks for sharing the links...

As a dad you can only dream. Great story!!

TXMom,

Thanks for sharing and congrats to this young man........

The articles and this young man's story just put a smile on my face and hope in my heart.......

Neat story...I think I would like I would like his parents.

They appreciated his Little League All-Star exploits.

Thanks for sharing!

I would be too, Tracie. A 10 hanky day for you guys, for sure.

Glad you all enjoyed the post. Kevin is a great guy from a wonderful family. His brother fought cancer most of his life and was a HUGE Giants fan. I believe his birthday would have been earlier this week.

Sometimes God gives out extra special blessings to those who least expect it.

That is a wonderful story!

A special night indeed
