How cool is this? Son starts the season facing his former teammate from their U-11 team, the Heat.
That is WAY cool TMM! 
Amazing how our sons keep running into old friends all over the country.

I agree with the others - very cool. I started a thread awhile back and my opinion will never change on this one - it is a small world and these are more than coincidence.
That is way cool, CD is right, sometimes more than coincidence, I refer to it as karma.
Sons first AA game was against his former Clemson teammate, now how ironic was that?
Everyone stay HEALTHY.
Glad to see you posting TMM_Dad!

May the boys batting averages stay high or their ERA's low...most importantly, stay healthy!
Have a great year!

Put another entry into the “small world” file...
I made the trip to Florida to watch my son's team play their opening series in the Florida State League. Tonight as I was walking into the game from the parking lot, I heard the announcer introducing the starting lineups. I was half listening but then I heard… "starting at second base, Tyler Bortnick" and I was thinking... that names sounds familiar, then continued on without thinking anything more about it.
Now, my memory isn't as good as it used to be so as many times as I have seen pictures and read comments about Tyler, I still didn't put two and two together. Then it hit me.... that's ClevelandDads son! My interest in the game went to a whole new level. I was as excited to watch Tyler play as I would be watching one of my own boys. Watching him play is a treat… think Lenny Dykstra, however at second base.
Tyler had a very nice opening night, both at the plate and in the field. It was so cool to actually get so see someone I have been following on the website for years.
Now, come Saturday (my son has to face Tyler) I may not be quite as a big of a fan if he has another good night at the plate.

It truly is a small world!
TMM_Dad, what a fun coincidence about Tim's opponent. U-11, that is a lo-o-o-o-ong time ago!!!
Jerseydad, I'm jealous that you got to see Tyler play, even by accident! I look forward to seeing the Bortinator play some day.
Very best wishes to ALL OF "OUR" BOYS!!!

jerseyddad - that was an awfully nice thing for you to post! His college coach once compared him to Lenny Dykstra so that is a huge honor that you said that.
I hope only the best for Quinton and even when he plays my son. That is the best way to ensure good karma flows in both directions. Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes it eats you. It's all good - eventually.

Hey CD,
It looks like they like your boy! Plenty of AB's and hitting .345! Awesome!

I stumbled across a familiar name. I imagine our ktcosmos is smiling today.
Five was the magic number Saturday night for Dillon Baird and the Inland Empire 66ers.
Baird went 5-for-5 with a pair of homers and five RBIs as the 66ers scored five times in the top of the ninth inning to pull out a 24-19 victory over the Bakersfield Blaze.

I was just looking at Dillon's stats and noticed he jacked another one out today. 1 for 4 dropped his average down to a measly .359.
