CADad kid and Kremer kid

Always fun to meet one your cyberspace buddies!

My older son was on the field at that camp 5 years ago for about an hour when he came over and said, "This is where I wanna go!"

Pepperdine is a beautiful campus with one of the most scenic baseball fields around. Hope you got a chance to enjoy some of that area.

Rob- as you enjoyed the view of the beach and Pamela Anderson's favorite baseball team (she's rumored to be a frequent fan @ Pepperdine games), we were up in your neck of the woods for the University of Portland Prospect Camp. What a great camp. Son has been very impressed with the level of instruction and all the MLB players/coaches teaching at the camp. He rates this as one of the best camps he's ever attended. Is really learning alot and having a great time.

The weather is interesting. Rain and clouds one minute, then light snow, then sunshine. Little chilly though but a beautiful area.

Actually, Pamela showed up and watched for about an hour, sat in the stands and chatted with coach Rodriguez.

Created quite a stir among the campers, that is for sure!

And JB: my son could DEFINITELY envision himself going to Pepperdine. Now he just has to convince the coaches he belongs.

Rob looked at the camp thru the virtual web cam online.
Looked like they were having a good time.

It's bad when you need a baseball fix and you watch a game online thru a web cam.
I need Help??

Rob forgot to mention that Jeff did a lot more at the plate than "just" give himself up to drive in a run and how well he worked with the pitchers who were pretty much all struggling with the wind that day. A friend of mine who pitched at Pepperdine was there watching his son and he commented on how impressive the catchers were and how well they took charge out there, something that Jeff epitomized.

Fortunately, that was the last day of wind and the final day of camp was material for a recruiting brochure. The same pitchers who struggled with their control suddenly found their control again and gun readings went up. This was a strong if somewhat mixed group with several pitchers hitting high 80s on the Stalker and some impressive hitters along with some young players who got just as much time as kids of "recruiting" age. There were kids from all over the country at the camp.

EH - I fully understand!

Hope you saw me waving.

Son had a good time at the camp. Said he met some nice kids from Texas, Oregon and SoCal.
Husband is still talking about Pamela!
