HI guys,
I haven't been on here for a while due to school and other things that keep me busy. Recently I turned 16 on Sept. 28. I had no idea what i was going to get and if I was going to get anything at all. That morning my dad picked me up from school, and we started driving. "dad where are we going?" I kept asking. He wouldn't tell me. About 5 hours later we arrived at Camden Yards (home of the Orioles.) to watch the Yankees and Orioles play. I was so excited. Ever since I was a young boy I've wanted to see the Yankees play. I wanted to run into the stadium. I got to see my favorite player in Derek Jeter, and other greats like Sheffield, Rodriguez, Giambi, Williams, Matsui, Posada, Rivera, and others. We arrived 3 hours early, and I got to see all of the "good" players that came by taxi. I was literally a foot from them. I watched the game and was inspired by seeing the shots, and the cheering of fans when players achieved. "I'm going to be here one day," I thought to my self the whole time and all the way back home. I've hit about 300 balls everyday since, and can't wait till the upcoming season so I can get on the feild, and warm-up like the pros, and hustle, and just play and impress the scouts so I can be in that enviroment one day. Right now I can remember the sights and sound of the game. I'm thinking to myself "One day I'm going to be playing under the lights with the fans chanting my name." Take your kids to a game like my father did, and it's well worth the price. It's something they'll never forget.
